Effects of density experience on mate guarding behavior by adult male Kanzawa spider mites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the Kanzawa spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai (Acari: Tetranychidae), adult males guard pre-reproductive quiescent females. I experimentally examined the effects of density experience during development and/or after adult emergence on precopulatory ...

Art gallery theorems for guarded guards

open access: yesComputational Geometry, 2003
The authors prove two art gallery theorems in which the guards guarding the gallery also guard one another (protecting against the ambush or untrustworthiness of an isolated guard). In the paper a simple closed, \(n\)-sided polygon with its interior included is denoted by \(P_n\).

Guarded Negation

open access: yesJournal of the ACM, 2011
We consider restrictions of first-order logic and of fixpoint logic in which all occurrences of negation are required to be guarded by an atomic predicate. In terms of expressive power, the logics in question, called GNFO and GNFP, extend the guarded fragment of first-order logic and the guarded least fixpoint logic, respectively.

Development and characterization of an HPV18 detection kit using two novel HPV18 type-specific monoclonal antibodies

open access: yesDiagnostic Pathology, 2018
Background HPV 18 is one of the most prevalent oncogenic types, only second to HPV 16, and included in the licensed vaccines on the market. In this study, we describe the production and characterization of a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to HPV18.

Altitude terrain guarding and guarding uni-monotone polygons [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Geometry, 2019
We present an optimal, linear-time algorithm for the following version of terrain guarding: given a 1.5D terrain and a horizontal line, place the minimum number of guards on the line to see all of the terrain. We prove that the cardinality of the minimum guard set coincides with the cardinality of a maximum number of ``witnesses'', i.e., terrain points,

Isolation of a strong Arabidopsis guard cell promoter and its potential as a research tool

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2008
Background A common limitation in guard cell signaling research is that it is difficult to obtain consistent high expression of transgenes of interest in Arabidopsis guard cells using known guard cell promoters or the constitutive 35S cauliflower mosaic ...

Taxonomic differences between Pinus sylvestris and P. uncinata revealed in the stomata and cuticle characters for use in the study of fossil material [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Taxonomic differences in the needle epidermis characteristics of Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus uncinata Ramond ex DC. from two Iberian populations were sought; such information could help identify these species when pollen analysis and the inspection of ...

Isolation of Guard-cell Enriched Tissue for RNA Extraction

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2017
This is a protocol for isolation of guard cell enriched samples from Arabidopsis thaliana plants for RNA extraction. Leaves are blended in ice-water and filtered through nylon mesh to obtain guard cell enriched fragments. With guard cell enriched samples,

Systems analysis of guard cell membrane transport for enhanced stomatal dynamics and water use efficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Stomatal transpiration is at the centre of a crisis in water availability and crop production that is expected to unfold over the next 20-30 years. Global water usage has increased 6-fold in the past 100 years, twice as fast as the human population, and ...
