Observations of the Hot Horizontal-Branch Stars in the Metal-Rich Bulge Globular Cluster NGC 6388 - Indications of Helium Enrichment and a Lesson in Crowded Field Spectroscopy [PDF]

, 2006
(abridged) The metal-rich bulge globular cluster NGC6388 shows a distinct blue horizontal-branch tail with a strong upward tilt in its colour-magnitude diagram. Several noncanonical scenarios have been proposed to explain these puzzling observations.

Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

The Edification of Manuela Xiqués: Slavery, Finance, Biography, and the Construction of Modern Barcelona

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An analysis of the dual biographies, economic and domestic, of Manuela Xiqués, an enslaver from nineteenth‐century Cuba and Spain, deepens our understanding of the role of European and Creole women in the nineteenth‐century Atlantic. This essay foregrounds the role of literature, namely family biography, as a locus of the processes of ...

Effects of Wrist Tendon Vibration on Targeted Upper-Arm Movements in Poststroke Hemiparesis [PDF]

, 2011
Background. Impaired motor control of the upper extremity after stroke may be related to lost sensory, motor, and integrative functions of the brain. Artificial activation of sensory afferents might improve control of movement by adding excitatory drive ...

Multiscreen serum analysis of highly sensitized renal dialysis patients for antibodies toward public and private class I HLA determinants: Implications for computer-predicted acceptable and unacceptable donor mismatches in kidney transplantation [PDF]

, 1990
A multiscreen serum analysis program has been developed that permits a determination of antibody specificity for the vast majority of highly sensitized patients awaiting transplantation.

A review on true dung beetles' evolutionary and ecological responses to temperature and impacts on ecosystem functions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
True dung beetles are a speciose group of ecosystem engineers that play key roles as detritivores in natural and agricultural landscapes. Scarabaeine beetles show strong thermal plasticity and there is increasing evidence of rapid evolutionary divergence in response to temperature across ecological and evolutionary timescales, with likely consequences ...

Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Analgesic effects of alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists in equine medicine: systemic, spinal, and local applications

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists provide analgesia when used as sole agents but can also be used in combination with other drugs for their additive and potentially synergistic effects. Further, because of their effects on blood flow, alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists act to extend and perhaps intensify the effects of drugs, such as local ...

Individual variability in activity patterns in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) revealed using pop‐up satellite tags

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding fish behaviour and activity patterns is essential for interpreting their ecology and the processes that shape population dynamics, yet such information remains limited for wild fishes because observing individuals in situ is challenging.
