    Description: Movement in the context of species distribution models (SDMs) generally refers to a species’ ability to access suitable habitat. Movement ability can be determined by some combination of dispersal constraints or migration rates, landscape factors such as patch configuration, disturbance, and barriers, and demographic factors related to age at maturity, mortality, and fecundity. Including movement ability can result in more precise projections that help to distinguish suitable habitat that is or can be potentially occupied, from suitable habitat that is inaccessible. While most SDM studies have ignored movement or conceptualized it in overly simplistic ways (e.g. no dispersal versus unlimited dispersal), it is increasingly important to incorporate realistic information on movement ability, particularly for studies that aim to project future distributions such as climate change forecasting and invasive species applications. This progress report addresses the increasingly complex ways in which movement has been incorporated in SDM and outlines directions for further study.

    Description: Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) infections cause tracheobronchitis and “walking” pneumonia, and are linked to asthma and other reactive airway diseases. As part of the infectious process, the bacterium expresses a 591-aa virulence factor with both mono-ADP ribosyltransferase (mART) and vacuolating activities known as Community-Acquired Respiratory Distress Syndrome Toxin (CARDS TX).

    Description: In animals with hippocampal damage, the signaled administration of reward is sufficient to induce the sort of behavioral sterotypy and locomotion that heretofore has been observed only after drug administration. Haloperidol returns these behaviors to normal. The interaction of the hippocampus with reward helps to explain many well-known characteristics of animals with lesions in the hippocampus and may have relevance for catecholamine-based clinical disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Devenport, L D -- Devenport, J A -- Holloway, F A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Jun 12;212(4500):1288-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7195073" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Phase shifting circadian rhythms in rats shortly after passive avoidance training impaired their performance on retention tests. The amnesia was not due to simple performance deficits accompanying the "jet leg" effects of phase shifting or to differences in lighting or circadian phase at training and at testing. Amnesia was associated with specific rhythm reentrainment patterns. These data indicate that disrupting circadian organization can produce retrograde amnesia in rats.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tapp, W N -- Holloway, F A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Mar 6;211(4486):1056-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7193351" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Implanted brain electrodes construct the only means to electrically interface with individual neurons in vivo, but their recording efficacy and biocompatibility pose limitations on scientific and clinical applications. We showed that nanoelectronic thread (NET) electrodes with subcellular dimensions, ultraflexibility, and cellular surgical footprints form reliable, glial scar–free neural integration. We demonstrated that NET electrodes reliably detected and tracked individual units for months; their impedance, noise level, single-unit recording yield, and the signal amplitude remained stable during long-term implantation. In vivo two-photon imaging and postmortem histological analysis revealed seamless, subcellular integration of NET probes with the local cellular and vasculature networks, featuring fully recovered capillaries with an intact blood-brain barrier and complete absence of chronic neuronal degradation and glial scar.

    Notes: A novel technique, consisting of the application of a magnetic field during grain growth process for materials having an anisotropy of the normal state paramagnetic susceptibility, has been tested on the example of HoBa2Cu3O7−δ (HoBCO) superconducting compound. It has been experimentally observed that the application of an 8-T magnetic field during sintering results in a directional growth of microcrystals and considerable bulk degree of grain alignment. A combination of x-ray, magnetic and optical measurements gives evidence that the degree of c-axis texture, produced by this technique, can approach 100%.

    Notes: A new explanation of the well documented effects of mild streamline curvature on the anisotropy of sheared turbulence has been developed. Its main underlying assumption is that the mean streamline curvature has no direct effect on the production and dynamics of each individual turbulent eddy, which is produced with the structure of purely sheared turbulence, and is subsequently convected downstream while retaining its initial anisotropy relative to fixed inertial coordinates. The local Reynolds stress anisotropy accumulates the contributions of all surviving eddies produced upstream, which, because the mean shear keeps changing direction, have different anisotropies, when viewed in terms of the local curvilinear coordinates; thus, the local anisotropy is influenced by the history of flow curvature only indirectly. A model developed to demonstrate the validity of the hypothesis requires only the specification of the turbulence anisotropies in a fully developed, rectilinear, reference flow (e.g., a rectilinear uniformly sheared flow), the geometrical features of the flow under study, and a dimensionless mean eddy lifetime. It predicts accurately the observed asymptotic turbulence structure of uniformly sheared flow subjected to prolonged, constant curvature and the exponential adjustment of this structure to stepwise changes in flow curvature. Predictions of the shear stress anisotropy in a curved mixing layer are also in good agreement with published data. In all these cases, the present model makes better predictions than two popular Reynolds stress models and a rapid distortion model. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Recent experimental studies on homogeneous curved shear flow have shown that the imposition of strong mean flow curvature can cause a reversal of the turbulent shear stress, giving it the same sign as the gradient of mean velocity. Measurements of the coherence spectrum for these flows has revealed that this reversal is not uniform across all scales, and that eddies of different sizes can have opposite orientations and transport momentum in opposite directions. To evaluate the influence of linear mechanisms in the shear stress reversal a "rapid distortion'' type of model was applied to those flows which demonstrated this phenomenon. The model predicts that flow curvature causes a periodic modulation of the structure of sheared turbulence, and that the sign of the shear stress reverses because of these oscillations. The period of the modulation, in terms of the total strain, was found to decrease as the turning rate increases relative to the shearing rate. For those flows which showed a reversal of the shear stress, the range of experimental observation was only a fraction of the predicted period, but interpreting the observed development as a portion of an oscillation the measurements were found to be qualitatively similar to the predictions of the linear theory. In cases of stronger turbulence a self-preserving structure developed, before the shear stress could reverse, and the measurements deviated significantly from the predictions.
