Forest management guidelines for woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario need to be re-examined in light of the finding that caribou partition habitat with moose (Alces alces), partly to find virtual refuges from predation by gray wolves (Canis lupus).Forest-wide guidelines seem inappropriate for a species that is widely scattered a
The reaction-diffusion basis of animated patterns in eukaryotic flagella
Abstract The flagellar read more beat of bull spermatozoa and C.Reinhardtii are modelled by a minimal, geometrically exact, reaction-diffusion system.Spatio-temporal animated patterns describe flagellar waves, analogous to chemical-patterns from classical reaction-diffusion systems, with sliding-controlled molecular motor reaction-kinetics.The reac
A Novel Acoustic Filtering Sensor for Real-Time Tension Monitoring of Hoist Wire Ropes
The real-time tension monitoring of wire ropes is a universal way to judge whether the hoist is overloaded in the special working environment of the coal mine.However, due to the strong drafts, unevenness of guide and flexible vibration of wire ropes, it is a challenge to monitor the tension with high accuracy.For this purpose, a new type of acoust
Inflammatory and immune responses in the cochlea: potential therapeutic targets for sensorineural hearing loss
The inner ear was previously assumed to be an immune-privileged organ due to the existence of its tight junction-based blood-labyrinth barrier.However, studies performed during the past decade revealed that the mesenchymal region of the cochlea, including its lateral wall, is a common site of kt196 torque converter inflammation.Neutrophils do not e
