Cardiac and metabolic physiology of early larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) reflects parental swimming stamina (open access)

Cardiac and metabolic physiology of early larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) reflects parental swimming stamina

This article explores swimming stamina in fish. Mature adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were subjected to a swimming performance test and then bred within performance groups to discover if enhanced swimming stamina in offspring appears only in juveniles/adults, or if these traits appear as early as larvae.

In situ cardiac performance of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) at cold temperatures: long-term acclimation, acute thermal challenge and the role of adrenaline (open access)

In situ cardiac performance of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) at cold temperatures: long-term acclimation, acute thermal challenge and the role of adrenaline

This article measures the cardiac performance of Newfoundland Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The results: (1) show that maximum performance of the isolated cod heart is not compromised by exposure to cold temperatures; and (2) support data from other studies, which show that, in contrast to salmonids, cod cardiac performance/myocardial contractility is not dependent upon humoral adrenergic stimulation.

Upper lethal temperatures of Northern Bobwhite embryos and the thermal properties of their eggs (open access)

Upper lethal temperatures of Northern Bobwhite embryos and the thermal properties of their eggs

This article explores the upper lethal temperature for Bobwhite eggs. Results find that thermal tolerances of Northern Bobwhite embryos are high, indicating an adaptation to the naturally occurring temperature extremes in the Bobwhite's environment. However, the results also indicate that high temperatures could have plausibly contributed to the population decline observed in the Bobwhite's semi-arid range.

Cardiac and metabolic physiology of early larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) reflects parental swimming stamina

Article describes experiment in which mature adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were subjected to a swimming performance test that allowed separation into low swimming stamina or high swimming stamina groups in order to determine if inherited traits that support enhanced swimming stamina in offspring appear only in juveniles and/or adults, or if these traits actually appear earlier in the morphologically quite different larvae.

Effect of selection for commercially productive traits on the plasticity of cardiovascular regulation in chicken breeds during embryonic development (open access)

Effect of selection for commercially productive traits on the plasticity of cardiovascular regulation in chicken breeds during embryonic development

Article investigates basic cardiovascular physiology in the Red Junglefowl, the broiler, and the White Leghorn breeds at 90% of incubation. The authors aimed to identify breed-specific features of arterial blood pressure and heart rate as well as the physiological mechanisms regulating them. They concluded that selection for rapid growth shifts cardiovascular regulatory plasticity to emphasize mechanisms that modulate pressure, and that selection for egg-laying capacity emphasizes mechanisms that modulate heart rate.

Spatially Periodic Electromagnetic Force Field For Plasma Confinement and Control (open access)

Spatially Periodic Electromagnetic Force Field For Plasma Confinement and Control

In this article, a theoretical understanding is developed of the single-particle reflection properties of a force field, considering the incident charged particles to have a non-drifting, isotropic velocity distribution. Classical trajectory Monte Carlo simulations and analytical modeling are employed. The initiation of an experimental effort to study force fields is described.

The Implications of Cancer Stem Cells for Cancer Therapy (open access)

The Implications of Cancer Stem Cells for Cancer Therapy

This review summarizes the characteristics, evidences and development of CSCs, as well as implications and challenges for cancer treatment. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are universally recognized as the most effective anti-cancer therapies. Recent studies have showed that cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small subpopulation of tumor cells, can generate bulk populations of nontumorigenic cancer cell progeny through the self-renewal and differentiation processes.

Student Use of Interactive Whiteboards in an Academic Library Setting (open access)

Student Use of Interactive Whiteboards in an Academic Library Setting

The interactive whiteboard is a learning technology that was introduced in the early 1990s, with the most commonly known product being the SMART Board from SMART Technologies. The main market for interactive whiteboards has been elementary schools, but other markets include secondary schools, higher education, libraries, and businesses. Librarians use the technology to enhance active learning and collaboration in instruction sessions. In January 2011, the University of North Texas Libraries installed two Hitachi StarBoards in the new Collaboration and Learning Commons of the Eagle Commons Library for patrons to use independently. Casual observation suggests that although the StarBoards are popular, the patrons are making minimal use of their interactive functions. The authors propose a study of independent patron use of interactive whiteboards in an academic library setting.
