Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants owing to their toxicity, longevity in the atmosphere, Trikes and ability to accumulate in the human body via bioaccumulation.The pollution of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems with toxic heavy metals is a major environmental concern that has consequences for public health.Most heavy metals occur
Quantitative analysis of cell-type specific gene expression in the green alga Volvox carteri
Abstract Background The multicellular alga Volvox carteri possesses only two cell types: mortal, Guard Bracket motile somatic cells and potentially immortal, immotile reproductive cells.It is therefore an attractive model system for studying how cell-autonomous cytodifferentiation is programmed within a genome.Moreover, there are ongoing genome pro
A photogrammetric approach to the estimation of distance to animals in camera trap images
The ability to assess accurate distance measurements, meaning the distance from an animal to the observer, is critical for wildlife monitoring methods such as distance sampling.This process has typically been done through manual measurements or using reference points, making fieldwork and analysis labor intensive and error prone.Using Structure fro
Total SciComm: A Strategy for Communicating Open Science
This paper seeks to introduce a strategy of science communication: Total SciComm or all-out science communication.We proposed that to maximize the outreach and impact, scientists should use different media to communicate different aspects of science, from core ideas to methods.The paper uses an example of Course a pied - Homme - Chaussures - Stabil
