Abstract:
The abundance and size frequency distribution (SFD) of Dungeness crabs (Cancer magister) within traps varies with soak time. Such bias in catch rates was reduced using a standardization model that corrected for (1) changes in bait effectiveness over time and (2) agonistic interactions between crabs within traps and those attempting entry. The model estimated the entry and exit of crabs based on the results of trapping experiments specifically designed to (1) emphasize the above two processes and (2) estimate escapement rates from traps for crabs of different sizes. Results clearly indicated th

Abstract:
Pitfall traps have a long tradition in carabidology and have been used for more than a century (e.g. over a century ago by Reitter). However, different trap designs were and are often used (e.g. preservative liquids, trap diameters, with or without roof). The resulting lack of comparability undermines the suitability of the catches, as for many modern ecological and conservation biological questions, the compilation of data across large geographical scales is important. This applies in particular to long-term studies, which are currently debated in Central Europe to mitigate insect decline. Th

We infer that the efficiency of the gypsy moth milk-carton pheromone trap is density-dependent, declining as aerial density increases. The significance of the density-dependent effic

Since iPS cells are tiny, unstable, and permeable, humans cannot intervene directly to transform their morphology and nature. Making a proper environment for their thriving—in other words, creating a trap—is the only way for humans to successfully harness and direct the cells’ potentiality.

Abstract:
Telomerase is important ribonucleoprotein for restoring telomere length from its own RNA template. Regarding cloned animals derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), interesting questions have been raised about whether the cloning process restores cellular telomerase activity undergone by their donor cells. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of cloning on telomerase activity in the dog and normality of telomerase activity in cloned dogs. Focusing our attention on differences in telomerase activity depending on the age, we analysed telomerase activity in dogs prod

Abstract Methods for measuring thyroid autoantibodies--to thyroperoxidase (TPOAb), thyroglobulin (TgAb), and thyrotropin receptor (TRAb)--have improved over the last decade, but increasingly, accurate and sensitive methods are needed for identifying patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases and individuals at high risk for onset of thyroid autoimmunity. With the increased quality requirements for these methods, it becomes more important to look at the functional sensitivities and precision profiles of the various methods. International standardization in this field is also needed. Because most

Abstract:
AbstractTram manufacturers have different ways of approaching the design of low-floor trams with compact and reliable running gears, and therefore several tram architectures can still be found. A complete standardization of trams is nearly impossible, and technical innovations can be more easily introduced if compared to conventional railway vehicles, but the trend towards large-scale standardization based on vehicle “platforms” can be seen in recent years. However, the current “standard” tram architecture, which includes only non-pivoting bogies, is not able to solve some typical problems of

Abstract:
The diversity of immunoglobulin (IG) and T cell receptor (TR) chains depends on several mechanisms: combinatorial diversity, which is a consequence of the number of V, D and J genes and the N-REGION diversity, which creates an extensive and clonal somatic diversity at the V-J and V-D-J junctions. For the IG, the diversity is further increased by somatic hypermutations. The number of different junctions per chain and per individual is estimated to be 10 $^{12}$ . We have chosen the human TRAV-TRAJ junctions as an example in order to characterize the required criteria for a standardized analysis

The use of open or closed traps in order to standardize the drosophilid collection is still a matter of discussion among researchers. In this paper, comparative data of drosophilid collections, using open and closed traps are presented. The collections were made monthly, during one year, in one fragment of a semidecidual forest located in the São Paulo State, Brazil. The efficiency of the traps was evaluated by the use of community descriptors: population abundance and richness and diversity of species. Closed traps were more efficient than the open ones in relation to the population abundance

In this work we propose a framework for ecological sampling design which in its preliminary stages can take into account environmental conditions obtained from open data (i.e. remote sensing and meteorological stations) not necessarily designed for ecological analysis. These environmental data are used to delimit the area into ecologically homogeneous strata. By employing Bayes

Abstract Anurans are of particular importance in monitoring the ecosystems of tropical environments. Existing literature reveals little standardization in methodology, and many of the techniques that have been shown to be effective in deciduous environments, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) refuges and pitfall traps, are either inadequate or too difficult to implement in tropical environments. This study evaluated three anuran trapping and monitoring techniques for use in a tropical environment: PVC pipe refuges, pitfall traps, and anuran census. Prior research validated the use of PVC refuges

Diagnosing DIC facilitates sepsis management, and is associated with improved outcomes. Although the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) h
