Identification of differentially expressed proteins at four growing stages in chicken liver: ABSTRACT : Because of high growth rate and large deposition of fat in the abdomen, the chicken has been used as a model organism for understanding lipid metabolism, fattening and growing. In this study, differentially expression of proteins in chicken liver, one of the important organs for lipid metabolism, has...; Tags: A., C., D., E., G., GE Healthcare, H., J., M., P., R., S., Smith, T., W.; Research articles 2008-10-01
What caused the Viking Age?: Introduction The Scandinavian diaspora of the late eighth to mid-eleventh centuries AD known as the Viking Age was both widespread in scale and profound in impact. Long-range maritime expeditions facilitated a florescence of piracy, trade, migration, conquest and exploration across much of Europe--ultimately extending to western Asia and the...; Tags: A., Age, Atlantic, B., Barrett, C., Dublin, E., Early, G., H., Hill, Iron, J., K., Leiden, M., McCormick, N., North, Northern, Oxford, Oxford University Press, P., R., S., St John, T., Weber; Research articles 2008-09-01
Time-resolved Singlet Oxygen Phosphorescence Measurements from Photosensitized Experiments in Single Cells: Effects of Oxygen Diffusion and Oxygen Concentration: ABSTRACT Time-resolved singlet oxygen, O2(a^sup 1^?^sub g^), phosphorescence experiments have been performed in single cells upon pulsed laser irradiation of a photosensitizer incorporated into the cell. Data recorded as a function of the partial pressure of ambient oxygen to which the cell is exposed reflect apparent values for the intracellular...; Tags: A., C., D., E., Fig, J., L., M., O2 Plc., Oxygen, P., S., T., W.; Research articles 2008-09-01
'Whatever turns you on': a response to Anna Machin, 'why handaxes just aren't that sexy': Evaluating theories and testing hypotheses that relate to the no-longer observable behaviour of hominin species which have no close analogue in the modern world is an obvious challenge. Machin argues that Kohn & Mithen (1999) did not do so in a sufficiently rigorous manner concerning their so-called 'Sexy Handaxe Theory'...; Tags: C., Cambridge University Press, Journal, S.; Research articles 2008-09-01
Kurarinol, tyrosinase inhibitor isolated from the root of Sophora flavescens: Abstract It is well known that flavanones, sophoraflavanone G 1, kurarinone 2, and kurarinol 3, from the root of Sophora flavescens, have extremely strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity. This study delineates the principal pharmacological features of kurarinol 3 that lead to inhibition of the oxidation of L-tyrosine to melanin by...; Tags: F., Hatayama, K., Kim, Komatsu Ltd., Lee, M., R., Ryu, S., T.; Research articles 2008-08-01

A Role for Internal Water Molecules in Proton Affinity Changes in the Schiff Base and Asp85 for One-way Proton Transfer in Bacteriorhodopsin[dagger]: ABSTRACT Light-induced proton pumping in bacteriorhodospin is carried out through five proton transfer steps. We propose that the proton transfer to Asp85 from the Schiff base in the L-to-M transition is accompanied by the relocation of a water cluster on the cytoplasmic side of the Schiff base from a site...; Tags: A., Brown, C., D., E., F., Fig, G., H., J., L, L., M, M., Maeda Corp., N, N., P., S., Smith, T., W.; Research articles 2008-07-01
Dyslexia speed problems in a transparent orthography: Abstract This study was intended to help clarify the nature of dyslexia in Spanish. A sample of 30 children, 8 to 16 years old, participated in this study. Dyslexic children were compared to two control groups, a chronological age-matched control group and a reading level-matched control group. Measures included nonword...; Tags: A., C., E., Ed, English, F., G., H., International Dyslexia Association, J., Journal, K., L., M., P., R., Reading, S., Spanish, T., Ziegler Inc.; Research articles 2008-06-01
Evolutionary analyses of ethnic solidarity: an overview: The author presents an overview of the contribution that evolutionary theory has made, and can make, to studies of ethnically based social cohesion in the social sciences. INTRODUCTION Evolutionary approaches have a minor though persistent place in the study of ethnicity and nationalism, probably due to the social...; Tags: A., C., Culture, D., E., Ed, Electronic Data Systems Corp., F., H., J., L., M., Oxford University Press, P., Press, S., Social, W., Wilson; Research articles 2008-06-01
Distribution, population structure and habitat use of the endangered Saint Francis Satyr butterfly, Neonympha mitchellii francisci: INTRODUCTION St. Francis' satyr, Neonympha mitchellii francisci, is one of the most imperiled butterflies in North America. First discovered in 1983, its range is restricted to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina NC, where several small subpopulations persist in glades along streams (Parshall and Kral, 1989; Hall, 1993; Hall and Hoffman,...; Tags: A., American, C., D., E., Ecology, Fig, G., Hall, J., L., M., Mark, Master, Mitchell, N, N., P., S., Saint Francis, T.; Research articles 2008-04-01
Introduction: In Australia, as in many other parts of the world, there is a growing realisation that freshwater resources are finite and cannot support unlimited growth and development. Intensifying economic practices have led to the degradation of major aquatic ecosystems, while simultaneously creating conflicts between water using groups. Urban communities now...; Tags: A., H., J., M., Oxford University Press, P., Press, Routledge, S.; Research articles 2008-03-01
Igneous rock associations 10. Komatiites: SUMMARY Komatiites are ultramafic volcanic rocks that occur mainly in Archean and Paleoproterozoic greenstone belts. These olivine-rich rocks are assumed to have crystallized from magmas that have about 28-30 wt% MgO. They are characterized by spinifex texture--platy or skeletal crystals of olivine set in a glassy matrix. Chemically, komatiites...; Tags: Arndt, Ashwal, C., Campbell, Fig, G., Ga, Grove, J., Journal, L., M., Ma, Oxford University Press, S., Viljoen; Research articles 2008-03-01
Effects of chronic herbivory and historic land use on population structure of a forest perennial, Trillium catesbaei: Abstract Question: How have long-term herbivory and past land use impacted the population structure of Trillium catesbaei, a long-lived rhizomatous herb?

Methods: We examined T. catesbaei populations at three sites: (1) Cades Cove CC, an area of intensive...; Tags: A., Fig, G., J., L., M., Research, S., T., Trillium Corp., W.; Research articles 2007-12-01
Effects of experimental egg composition on rejection by village weavers: It is advantageous for individual birds to be able to recognize their own eggs and to remove foreign eggs from their nests when exposed to brood parasitism (Davies and Brooke 1989, Rothstein 1990, Ortega 1998, Peer et al. 2005). Addition of experimental eggs to nests of Old World cuckoo (Cuculus...; Tags: A., Brooke, C., Cruz, D., E., H., J., Journal, M., Oxford University Press, P., Peer, Robinson, S., T., W., Wiley; Research articles 2007-12-01
Mekeo chiefs and sorcerers: metaphor, ideology and practice: But the mind attempts to contrive a principle of order and regularity into certain parts of the mass of signs, and this is the role of relative motivation.

Violence, sacrifice and chiefship in Central Equatoria, Southern Sudan: ABSTRACT This article explores specific oral histories and chiefship debates in the aftermath of the SPLA war in two Southern Sudanese chiefdoms.

Hegel's theory of moral action, its place in his system and the 'highest' right of the subject: 1 INTRODUCTION There is at present, amongst Hegel scholars and in the interpretative discussions of Hegel's social and political theories, the flavour of old-style 'apology' for his liberal credentials, as though--prior to any attempt to engage with the social ethics he proposes--there exists a real need to prove Hegel...; Tags: A., C., Cambridge University Press, Critique, F., Freedom, G., H., Hegel, J., Kant, Kantian, M., Morality, Oxford University Press, Philosophy, Political, Press, R, Responsibility, S., Social, Stewart, W., Wood; Research articles 2007-07-01
