    Notes: Abstract. We studied two species of Ceratogymna hornbills, the black-casqued hornbill, C. atrata, and the white-thighed hornbill, C. cylindricus, in the tropical forests of Cameroon, to understand their movement patterns and evaluate their effectiveness as seed dispersers. To estimate hornbill contribution to a particular tree species' seed shadow we combined data from movements, determined by radio-tracking, with data from seed passage trials. For 13 individuals tracked over 12 months, home range varied between 925 and 4,472 ha, a much larger area than reported for other African avian frugivores. Seed passage times ranged from 51 to 765 min, with C. atrata showing longer passage times than C. cylindricus, and larger seeds having longer gut retention times than smaller seeds. Combining these data, we estimated that seed shadows were extensive for the eight tree species examined, with approximately 80% of seeds moved more than 500 m from the parent plant. Maximum estimated dispersal distances for larger seeds were 6,919 and 3,558 m for C. atrata and C. cylindricus, respectively. The extent of hornbill seed shadows suggests that their influence in determining forest structure will likely increase as other larger mammalian dispersers are exterminated.

    Notes: Abstract Current learning approaches to computer vision have mainly focussed on low-level image processing and object recognition, while tending to ignore high-level processing such as understanding. Here we propose an approach to object recognition that facilitates the transition from recognition to understanding. The proposed approach embraces the synergistic spirit of soft computing, exploiting the global search powers of genetic programming to determine fuzzy probabilistic models. It begins by segmenting the images into regions using standard image processing approaches, which are subsequently classified using a discovered fuzzy Cartesian granule feature classifier. Understanding is made possible through the transparent and succinct nature of the discovered models. The recognition of roads in images is taken as an illustrative problem in the vision domain. The discovered fuzzy models while providing high levels of accuracy (97%), also provide understanding of the problem domain through the transparency of the learnt models. The learning step in the proposed approach is compared with other techniques such as decision trees, naïve Bayes and neural networks using a variety of performance criteria such as accuracy, understandability and efficiency.

    New ways of determining structural groups in brown coals and their bioconversion products by FT IR spectroscopy (2000)

    Notes: Abstract New methods of determining the structural groups —COOH and —CH2— have been developed. The investigation of carboxyl groups is possible both after derivatization with p-fluorophenacylbromide and by quantitative interpretation of the Fourier transform infrared (FT IR) spectra. There exists a linear relationship between the results of these two methods that is generally valid for the analysis of all brown coal components. The maximum extinction coefficient of the symmetric stretching vibration band of the CH2 groups has been determined using model substances. This allows quantification of this structural group directly from the FT IR spectrum. The results agree with the contents of methylene groups as determined by 13C-cross polarization–magic angle spinning–nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CPMAS NMR) spectroscopy. Using these methods, the COOH and CH2 groups contained in brown coals of the North Rhine region and in their bioconversion products have been quantified.

    Notes: Abstract. Newly-prosperous Ireland has a number of sites which the scientific traveller can visit. There are apparatus museums at Birr and Maynooth, and a collection of early apparatus at the physics department of the Irish National University in Galway. The main attraction at Birr is the Rosse Telescope, with its 6-ft diameter speculum, built in the 1840s, and recently refurbished. Travellers to Northern Ireland can see applied geology at the Giant's Causeway.

    The gregarisation pheromone of locusts (1970)
    Springer
    Chromosoma 29 (1970), S. 462-473 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0886
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Swarming locusts show three physical criteria, i.e. the phase changes of melanisation of the nymphal stages or hoppers, of the proportions of certain body parts (morphometric ratios), and increased genetic recombination (meiotic chiasma frequencies) in the adult. The control of these changes, initiated by aggregation into swarms, i.e. gregarisation, seems to be vested in a pheromone which is produced by all hoppers in both the solitaria and gregaria phases, also by hoppers of the albino strain. Such a pheromone can be extracted from the locust room air and from the locust, these extracts showing high activity in bioassays, primarily in increased chiasma frequencies but also in hopper colour. The extract in risella oil is more efficient than that in petroleum ether and can be distilled to yield an active distillate. The pheromone is secreted in the faeces of hoppers but not of adults. There is evidence in faeces bioassays that all three physical criteria are affected; the pheromone may be called locustone. It is manufactured or secreted in a specific section of the alimentary canal, i.e. the crop. Reception is not through the antennae but through the stigmata. Preliminary chemical analysis of a risella oil air extract distilled into various other solvents showed the presence of a relatively simple saturated aliphatic chain with a carbonyl function, perhaps a ketone or an ester.

    Control of lysosomal acid phosphatase expression in man-mouse cell hybrids (1974)

    Notes: Abstract Lysosomal acid phosphatase activity in human and mouse cells was separated into multiple zones by starch gel electrophoresis. One of the two major zones in the mouse was apparently extinguished when genetic information from man and the mouse was combined in proliferating man-mouse somatic cell hybrids. The evidence suggested that the absence of the mouse lysosomal acid phosphatase (mAP-1) was influenced by the human genome. The gene coding for human acid phosphatase (hAP-1) was shown to be unlinked to the presumed human component which extinguished the mouse acid phosphatase (mAP-1). The mechanism of “extinction” is postulated to be a modification in the processing of the mouse lysosomal enzyme. A dimeric structure was suggested for acid phosphatase-1 of man, mouse, and rat since a single hybrid enzyme was expressed in man-mouse and mouse-rat somatic cell hybrids.

    Biochemical polymorphisms in feral and inbred mice (Mus musculus) (1971)

    Notes: Abstract Examination of the frequencies of several loci controlling isozymes in three geographically distinct feral populations of mice showed the average animal to be heterozygous at 10.3% of his loci. There was no evidence for interaction between loci, nor any evidence for inbreeding in the populations. Thirty-nine inbred strains, including four newly derived ones, were also characterized for their alleles for as many as 16 polymorphic loci. Among these strains, variability is at least as great as in any single feral population, but probably less than that found among all feral populations of the species.

    Notes: Zusammenfassung Kurz zusammengefasst sind die wichtigsten, hier niedergelegten Tatsachen folgende: Es wurde eine Methode für die totale Entfernung der Leber bei Hunden ausgebildet, welche frei von den meisten Fehlerquellen ist, die früheren Exstirpationsmethoden des Organs bei Säugetieren anhaften. Es wurde gefunden, dass eine geeignete Einführung von Glukose bei derart operierten Hunden das Leben viele Stunden nach Verlust des gesamten Lebergewebes erhält. Von den vielen an hepatektomierten Tieren gemachten Beobachtungen möchten wir hervorheben, 1. dass die Leber zur Erhaltung des Blutzuckerspiegels absolut wesentlich ist; 2. dass die Leber der wichtigste Faktor, wenn nicht der einzige, bei dem Prozess der Desamidierung und der Harnstoffbildung ist, und 3. dass Bilirubin auch ohne Mitwirkung der Leber gebildet werden kann.
