Raptor hunted by caspases [PDF]
Cell Death & Disease, 2016 Emergence of survival strategies is a key step for organisms during evolution. The capacity to adapt from nutrient-rich to nutrient-poor environments led to the appearance of protein complexes regulating anabolic and catabolic pathways. The evolutionarily conserved kinase mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) emerged as a crucial and central protein ...

2011 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, 2011 In this paper, an extension of raptor codes is introduced which keeps all the desirable properties of raptor codes, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, unchanged. The new design, however, improves the performance in terms of the reception rate.

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019 AbstractRaptors from the orders Accipitriformes and Falconiformes have been considered to rely principally on vision. Historically, this assumption has led scientists to discount any possible sense of smell in these birds, until work on cathartid vultures indicated that these species at least rely on olfaction to find carrion.

Raptor Swoops in on Metabolism [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2008 The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) serine/threonine kinase plays a central role in insulin signaling and cell growth, through two distinct complexes with its subunits raptor or rictor. In this issue, two reports utilizing tissue-specific knockout mice detail key roles for mTORC1 in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue function.

Ultraviolet reflectance by the cere of raptors [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2006 Ultraviolet (UV) signals have been shown to play key roles in social and sexual signalling in birds. Using a spectrophotometer, we analysed the colour of the cere (skin above the beak) of a diurnal raptor, the Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus), and show that it reflects in the UV part of the spectrum. The cere is a well-known sexual signal in raptors,

Raptor packets: A packet-centric approach to distributed raptor code design [PDF]
2009 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory, 2009 In this paper, we address the problem of distributed Raptor code design over information packets located across the network nodes. We propose a novel approach to this problem that consists of generating, encoding and dispersing Raptor packets across the network.

DEVELOPMENTAL OCULAR DISEASE OF RAPTORS [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1988 Sixteen raptors, including one eagle, two falcons, five hawks and eight owls, were found to have developmental ocular lesions. The most common lesion was microphthalmia. Other findings included cataract, microphakia, retinal dysplasia, malformation of the ciliary body, choroid and pecten, and lentoid formation.
