Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues

Ethology, EarlyView.
Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

A comparative study on resistance spot and laser beam spot welding of ultra-high strength steel for automotive applications

International Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture
In this study, the effect of resistance spot welding (RSW) and laser beam spot welding (LBSW) processes on evolution of microstructure, load endurance capabilities, heat affected zone (HAZ) softening, and corrosion resistance of ultra-high-strength (UHSS)

Comparative Evaluation and Analysis of IAX and RSW

, 2010
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a technology to transport media over IP networks such as the Internet. VoIP has the capability of connecting people over packet switched networks instead of traditional circuit switched networks. Recently, the InterAsterisk Exchange Protocol (IAX) has emerged as a new VoIP which is gaining popularity among VoIP products.

rSW-seq: Algorithm for detection of copy number alterations in deep sequencing data [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Abstract Background Recent advances in sequencing technologies have enabled generation of large-scale genome sequencing data. These data can be used to characterize a variety of genomic features, including the DNA copy number profile of a cancer genome.

Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths.

Demonstration of natriuretic activity in urine of neurosurgical patients with renal salt wasting [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1ax]

F1000Research, 2013
We have utilized the persistent elevation of fractional excretion (FE) of urate, > 10%, to differentiate cerebral/renal salt wasting (RSW) from the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), in which a normalization of FEurate ...

On a general definition of the squared Brunt-V\"{a}is\"{a}l\"{a} Frequency associated with the specific moist entropy potential temperature

, 2012
The squared Brunt-V\"{a}is\"{a}l\"{a} Frequency (BVF) is computed in terms of the moist entropy potential temperature recently defined in Marquet (2011). Both homogeneously saturated and non-saturated versions of $N^2$ (the squared BVF) are derived.

Control and Power Supply for Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) [PDF]

, 2011
In the automobile industry, Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) is widely used for its low cost, high speed, simple mechanism and applicability for automation. RSW has become the predominant means of auto body assembly, resulting in two to six thousands spot welds performed on each manufactured car.

Connection probabilities and RSW‐type bounds for the two‐dimensional FK Ising model [PDF]

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2011
AbstractWe prove Russo‐Seymour‐Welsh‐type uniform bounds on crossing probabilities for the FK Ising (FK percolation with cluster weight q = 2) model at criticality, independent of the boundary conditions. Our proof relies mainly on Smirnov's fermionic observable for the FK Ising model [24], which allows us to get precise estimates on boundary ...

Whose Rhetoric Matters? Social Responsibility Rhetoric and the Moderating Influence of Social Roles in Crowdfunding Pitches

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract We use role congruity theory to examine how differing role expectations surrounding entrepreneur gender and race shape the influence of social responsibility rhetoric used in crowdfunding pitches. To do so, we develop a novel content‐analytic measure of social responsibility rhetoric using the Kinder, Lydenberg, and Domini (KLD) dimensions of ...
