Image Asymmetry Measurement for the Study of Endangered Pygmy Bluetongue Lizard
(IEEE Explore, 2013-11)
Abstract—There are applications for the measurement of
body asymmetry as some studies have shown a correlation
between asymmetry and fitness for some species. In our study of
the endangered Pygmy Bluetongue Lizard, the ...
Surface Laplacian of Central Scalp Electrical Signals is Insensitive to Muscle Contamination
(IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics, 2013-01)
Abstract—Objective: To investigate the effects of surface
Laplacian processing on gross and persistent electromyographic
(EMG) contamination of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals
in electrical scalp recordings.
Methods: ...
Chemically Synthesised Atomically Precise Gold Clusters Deposited and Activated on Titania. Part II
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-07-24)
Synchrotron XPS was used to investigate a series of chemically synthesised, atomically precise gold clusters Aun(PPh3)y (n = 8, 9 and 101, y depending on the cluster size) immobilized on anatase (titania) nanoparticles. ...
On the correlation between dye coverage and photoelectrochemical performance in dye-sensitized solar cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-06-14)
Concentration depth profiles of the ruthenium based dyes Z907 and N719 adsorbed onto titania are measured directly and used for determining the adsorption isotherm of the dyes. Dye layers formed by both grow in islands on ...
Successional specialization in a reptile community cautions against widespread planned burning and complete fire suppression
(Wiley, 2013-06-20)
Conservation of biodiversity in fire-prone regions depends on understanding responses to fire in animal communities and the mechanisms governing these responses.
We collated data from an Australian semi-arid woodland ...
Using plant distributions to predict the current and future range of a rare lizard
(Wiley, 2013-01-30)
Aim To investigate the use of bioclimatic envelope models for predicting distributions of species that have experienced severe human-induced geographic range contractions. Bioclimatic envelope model predictions of current ...
Miocene fossils show that kiwi (Apteryx, Apterygidae) are probably not phyletic dwarves
(Verlag Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, 2013)
Until now, kiwi (Apteryx, Apterygidae) have had no pre-Quaternary fossil record to inform on the
timing of their arrival in New Zealand or on their inter-ratite relationships. Here we describe two fossils in a new
genus ...
Skeletochronological analysis of age in three ‘fire-specialist’ lizard species
(Field Naturalists' Society of South Australia, 2013-01)
Adverse fire regimes threaten the persistence of animals in many ecosystems.
‘Fire-specialist’ species, which specialise on a particular post-fire successional stage,
are likely to be at greatest risk of decline under ...
Gastrointestinal and Hepatotoxicity Assessment of an Anticancer Extract from Muricid Molluscs
(Hindawi, 2013-04-17)
Marine molluscs from the family Muricidae are under development as a potential medicinal food for the prevention of colon cancer and treatment of gynaecological cancers. Here we report the outcome of the first in vivo ...
First articulated phyllolepid placoderm from North America, with comments on phyllolepid systematics
(The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 2013-03)
The first articulated phyllolepid placoderm from North America (outside of Greenland) is described from the
Upper Devonian Catskill Formation in north-central Pennsylvania. Phyllolepis rossimontina Lane and Cuffey 2005, ...
