Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Multi–scale modelling of timber–frame structures under seismic loads [PDF]

, 2013
This paper introduces a versatile hysteretic constitutive law, developed for various joints with steel fasteners commonly used in timber structures (nails, screws, staples, 3D connectors of bracket type, punched plates). Compared to previous

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Component method extension to steel beam‐to‐beam and beam‐to‐column knee joints under bending and axial forces

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005
This paper presents an analysis of semi‐rigid beam‐to‐beam end‐plate bolted and beam‐to‐column end‐plate bolted knee joints that are subjected to bending and tension or compression axial force.
