British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1956 BLOOD TRANSFUSION Although the first attempts at blood transfusion and intravenous therapy began in the 17th century, there is one isolated example of the conception of the intravenous administration of remedial drugs dating from the -very beginning of the Christian era. This account comes from the Metamorphoses (Bk. 7) of Ovid (43 B.C.-A.D. 17). Jason,

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Egalitarian cooperation linked to central oxytocin levels in communal breeding house mice
Communications BiologyRelationships between adult females are fundamental to understanding diversity in animal social systems. While cooperative relationships between kin are known to promote fitness benefits, the proximate mechanisms underlying this are not well understood ...

Supernova progenitors and iron density evolution from SN rate evolution measurements
, 2008 Using an extensive compilation of literature supernova rate data we study to which extent its evolution constrains the star formation history, the distribution of the type Ia supernova (SNIa) progenitor's lifetime, the mass range of core-collapse ...

Modeling the evolution of infrared galaxies: A Parametric backwards evolution model [PDF]
, 2011 We aim at modeling the infrared galaxy evolution in an as simple as possible way and reproduce statistical properties among which the number counts between 15 microns and 1.1 mm, the luminosity functions, and the redshift distributions.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

The evolution of misbelief [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2009 AbstractFrom an evolutionary standpoint, a default presumption is that true beliefs are adaptive and misbeliefs maladaptive. But if humans are biologically engineered to appraise the world accurately and to form true beliefs, how are we to explain the routine exceptions to this rule?
