Summary 4th instar nymphs ofSchistocerca gregaria exposed to precocene I and II by topical application metamorphosed precociously. The ED50 of both compounds were evaluated and, unexpectedly, precocene I was found to be more active than precocene II. All adultiforms were identical and in an advanced form.Acknowledgments.

Assouad has shown that a real-valued distance d = (dij)1 ≤ i < j ≤ n is isometrically embeddable in ℓ1space if and only if it belongs to the cut cone on n points. Determining if this condition holds is NP-complete. We use Assouad's
result in a constructive column generation algorithm for ℓ1-embeddability. The subproblem is an unconstrained 0-1 quadratic program, solved by Tabu Search and Variable Neighborhood
Search heuristics as well as by an exact enumerative algorithm. Computational results are reported. Several ways to approximate
a distance which is not ℓ1-embeddable by another one which is are also studied. 相似文献

The search for a topographic signature of life 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Landscapes are shaped by the uplift, deformation and breakdown of bedrock and the erosion, transport and deposition of sediment. Life is important in all of these processes. Over short timescales, the impact of life is quite apparent: rock weathering, soil formation and erosion, slope stability and river dynamics are directly influenced by biotic processes that mediate chemical reactions, dilate soil, disrupt the ground surface and add strength with a weave of roots. Over geologic time, biotic effects are less obvious but equally important: biota affect climate, and climatic conditions dictate the mechanisms and rates of erosion that control topographic evolution. Apart from the obvious influence of humans, does the resulting landscape bear an unmistakable stamp of life? The influence of life on topography is a topic that has remained largely unexplored. Erosion laws that explicitly include biotic effects are needed to explore how intrinsically small-scale biotic processes can influence the form of entire landscapes, and to determine whether these processes create a distinctive topography. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die toxische Wirkung des sogenannten «Exotoxins» vonBacillus thuringiensis aufDrosophila wurde geprüft: (A) in Mais-Trockenhefe-Agar-Medium, (B) synthetischem Medium C nachSang
2 und (C) synthetischem Medium plus 2% Trockenhefe. In hefefreiem Medium ist die LC50 bedeutend niedriger und die Probitkurve viel steiler als in hefehaltigen Medien. Hefe reduziert also die toxische Wirkung des «Exotoxins» beträchtlich.

Summary Several analogs of precocene have been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of juvenile hormone onLocusta migratoria. Only 5,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene was active; its ED50 and LD50 were measured and compared to those of precocene I and II.Acknowledgments.

The vertebrate retina has been widely used as a model to study the development of the central nervous system. Its accessibility and relatively simple organization allow analysis of basic mechanisms such as cell proliferation, differentiation and death. For this reason, it could represent an ideal place to solve the puzzle of Hh signaling during neural development. However, the extensive wealth of data, sometimes apparently discordant, has made the retina one of the most complicated models for studying the role of the Hh cascade. Given the complexity of the field, a deep analysis of the data arising from different animal models is essential. In this review, we will compare and discuss all reported roles of Hh signaling in eye development to shed light on its multiple functions.Received 26 September 2003; received after revision 13 November 2003; accepted 19 November 2003 相似文献

A suite of observations suggests that the northern plains of Mars, which cover nearly one third of the planet's surface, may once have contained an ocean. Perhaps the most provocative evidence for an ancient ocean is a set of surface features that ring the plains for thousands of kilometres and that have been interpreted as a series of palaeoshorelines of different age. It has been shown, however, that topographic profiles along the putative shorelines contain long-wavelength trends with amplitudes of up to several kilometres, and these trends have been taken as an argument against the martian shoreline (and ocean) hypothesis. Here we show that the long-wavelength topography of the shorelines is consistent with deformation caused by true polar wander--a change in the orientation of a planet with respect to its rotation pole--and that the inferred pole path has the geometry expected for a true polar wander event that postdates the formation of the massive Tharsis volcanic rise. 相似文献
