Discovery and evolution of novel hemerythrin genes in annelid worms
(2019-04-29)
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive study on hemoglobins and hemocyanins, little is known about hemerythrin (Hr) evolutionary history. Four subgroups of Hrs have been documented, including: circulating Hr (cHr), myohemerythrin ...
Do Small Classes in Higher Education Reduce Performance Gaps in STEM?
(2019-07-11)
Performance gaps in science are well documented, and an examination of underlying mechanisms that lead to underperformance and attrition of women and underrepresented minorities (URM) may offer highly targeted means to ...
Do Tropical Nickel Hyperaccumulators Mobilize Metals into Epiphytes? A Test Using Bryophytes from New Caledonia
(2021-01-04)
Hyperaccumulator plants mobilize large amounts of certain elements
from the soil into their tissues. Those elements then may be transferred to other organisms in those communities. Using a humid tropical forest site in ...
Does season-dependent reproductive value of offspring drive the evolution of life-history traits in Anolis lizards?
(2019-09-15)
An important component of the reproductive strategy of many animals involves a seasonal shift in reproductive traits (i.e., clutch size, egg quality). Such shifts typically occur because environmental factors that influence ...
Double Rydberg anions with solvated ammonium kernels: Electron binding energies and Dyson orbitals
(2020-03-10)
Ab initio electron-propagator calculations on the electron detachment energies and associated Dyson orbitals of NnH3n+1- for n = 1-5 confirm the assignment of low-energy peaks in anion photoelectron spectra to double Rydberg ...
Dynamics of ring current ions as obtained from IMAGE HENA and MENA ENA images
(2020-06-18)
Ion distributions from three storms in the year 2000 have been obtained from HENA and MENA ENA images at 27-39 keV and 5-12 keV, respectively. The observed motion of the ring current is compared with calculations of expected ...

Ion distributions from three storms in the year 2000 have been obtained from HENA and MENA ENA images at 27-39 keV and 5-12 keV, respectively. The observed motion of the ring current is compared with calculations of expected ...
Effect of continued nitrogen enrichment on greenhouse gas emissions from a wetland ecosystem in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China: A 5 year nitrogen addition experiment
(2023-01-25)
Mounting evidence supports that wetland ecosystems, one of the largest carbon pools on the earth, are exposed to ample nitrogen (N) additions due to atmospheric deposition or N loading from upstream agricultural fertilizer ...
Effect of IMF B-y on the Entry of Solar Wind Ions Into the Near-Earth Tail Lobe: Global Hybrid Simulation and MMS Observation
(2022-11-08)
Global simulations predict that the low-latitude mantle may be an important pathway for the solar wind entry into the tail magnetosphere close to the current sheet when interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) B-y dominates ...
Efficient evaluation of analytic Fukui functions
(2021-01-26)
An efficient method for the analytic evaluation of Fukui functions is proposed. Working equations
are derived and numerical results are used to validate the method on medium size set of molecules.
In addition to the ...
