The precise number and pattern of axonal connections generated during brain development regulates animal behavior.Therefore, understanding how developmental signals interact to regulate axonal extension and retraction to achieve precise neuronal connectivity is a fundamental goal of neurobiology.We investigated this question in the developing adult

The flanks of the Caucasus Mountains and the steppe landscape to their north offered highly productive grasslands for Bronze Age herders and their flocks of sheep, goat, and cattle.While the archaeological evidence points to a largely pastoral lifestyle, knowledge regarding the general composition of human diets and their variation across landscape

Marine oil spills can be remediated by mechanical skimmers in calm waters, but performance degrades with increased wave height.We have developed and demonstrated a system that quantifies local wave characteristics with an uncertainty of four inches of heave.Our system is intended for the measurement of wave characteristics during oil Two Drawer Mob
