The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

CALCULATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF AN URANIUM SAMPLE IRRADIATED BY THERMAL NEUTRONS FOR THE INITIAL ANALYSIS IN RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION USING MONTE CARLO SIMULATION

open access: yesMomento, 2018
To carry out the analysis of radiological protection and degree of danger of a practice in a facility that uses ionizing radiation, an analysis is made from computational calculations, both of gamma and neutron radiation, which are those of greater reach

Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...

An Account of Luck, Fortune, and Fate

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Luck is one of our most important concepts. In this article, I first argue that extant accounts of luck are deeply flawed. I then argue for a hybrid account of luck that is based around the difference between skill‐based and non‐skill‐based events.

Screening of blood and mucus parameters towards breeding for resistance to salmon louse (lepeophtheirus salmonis) in atlantic salmon

open access: yes, 2012
Over the last three decades salmon farmers have experienced serious economic hardships due to losses caused by sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations. In the absence of an effective vaccine, inefficiency of biological control methods and growing

Jumping plant-lice of the Paurocephalinae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Psylloidea): systematics and phylogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Much confusion exists with respect to the content and definition of the psyUid subfamily Paurocephalinae. Based on a cladistic analysis of 22 morphological characters (16 adult and 6 larval), the subfamily is redefined to comprise the following five ...

Harnessing benzamides as plant stress inhibitors, growth promoters and in management of crop resilience—A review

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Garden, greenhouse, or climate chamber? Experimental conditions influence whether genetic differences are phenotypically expressed

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Expression of genetic differences depends on the experimental environment as seen in flowering time differences between ancestors and descendants that emerge in climate chambers but not in greenhouse or garden conditions. Abstract Common‐environment experiments are important to study genetically based phenotypic variation within and among plant ...

Morphological variation of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) from different skua taxa

open access: yes, 2000
The lice, Haffneria grandis and Saemundssonia were extracted from their hosts, skuas (Aves: Stercorariidae). Lice were extracted from dead birds by combing feathers, while lice from live birds were extracted using a delousing chamber containing ...
