Organic osmolytes as compatible, metabolic and counteracting cytoprotectants in high osmolarity and other stressesSUMMARY Organic osmolytes are small solutes used by cells of numerous water-stressed organisms and tissues to maintain cell volume. Similar compounds are accumulated by some organisms in anhydrobiotic, thermal and possibly pressure stresses. These solutes are amino acids and derivatives,polyols and sugars, methylamines, methylsulfonium compounds and urea. Except for... ... hiện toàn bộ

The physiology of climate change: how potentials for acclimatization and genetic adaptation will determine ‘winners’ and ‘losers’SUMMARY Physiological studies can help predict effects of climate change through determining which species currently live closest to their upper thermal tolerance limits, which physiological systems set these limits, and how species differ in acclimatization capacities for modifying their thermal tolerances. Reductionist studies at the molecular level can contribute... ... hiện toàn bộ

Oxygen- and capacity-limitation of thermal tolerance: a matrix for integrating climate-related stressor effects in marine ecosystemsSUMMARY The concept of oxygen- and capacity-dependent thermal tolerance in aquatic ectotherms has successfully explained climate-induced effects of rising temperatures on species abundance in the field. Oxygen supply to tissues and the resulting aerobic performance characters thus form a primary link between organismal fitness and its role and functioning at the eco... ... hiện toàn bộ

The Propulsion of Sea-Urchin SpermatozoaABSTRACT
The movement of any short length of the tail of a spermatozoon of Psammechinus miliaris and the characteristic changes which it undergoes during each cycle of its displacement through the water can be described in terms of the form and speed of propagation of the bending waves which travel along the tail (Gray, 1953, 1955); the form of the w... ... hiện toàn bộ

Isozymes of mammalian hexokinase: structure, subcellular localization and metabolic functionSUMMARY
The first step in metabolism of glucose (Glc) is usually phosphorylation,catalyzed by hexokinase. However, the Glc-6-P produced can then enter one or more of several alternative pathways. Selective expression of isozymic forms of hexokinase, differing in catalytic and regulatory properties as well as subcellular localization, is likely to be ... ... hiện toàn bộ

The role of gibberellin signalling in plant responses to abiotic stressPlant hormones are small molecules that regulate plant growth and development, as well as responses to changing environmental conditions. By modifying the production, distribution or signal transduction of these hormones, plants are able to regulate and coordinate both growth and/or stress tolerance to promote survival or escape from environmental stress. A central role for the gibberellin... ... hiện toàn bộ

The origin of allometric scaling laws in biology from genomes to ecosystems: towards a quantitative unifying theory of biological structure and organizationSUMMARY Life is the most complex physical phenomenon in the Universe, manifesting an extraordinary diversity of form and function over an enormous scale from the largest animals and plants to the smallest microbes and subcellular units. Despite this many of its most fundamental and complex phenomena scale with size in a surprisingly simple fashion. For example, meta... ... hiện toàn bộ

The Technique of Free Skin Grafting in MammalsABSTRACT
Methods are described for the execution of free skin grafts in rabbits, guinea-pigs and mice.
Much of the work in which use has been made of the techniques described above has been generously supported over a period of years by the Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Oxford (Prof. T. Pomfret Kilner, F...

The aerodynamic effects of wing rotation and a revised quasi-steady model of flapping flightSUMMARY
We used a dynamically scaled model insect to measure the rotational forces produced by a flapping insect wing. A steadily translating wing was rotated at a range of constant angular velocities, and the resulting aerodynamic forces were measured using a sensor attached to the base of the wing. These instantaneous forces were compared with quas... ... hiện toàn bộ

The control of flight force by a flapping wing: lift and drag productionSUMMARY We used a dynamically scaled mechanical model of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to study how changes in wing kinematics influence the production of unsteady aerodynamic forces in insect flight. We examined 191 separate sets of kinematic patterns that differed with respect to stroke amplitude, angle of attack, flip timing, flip duration and the shape a... ... hiện toàn bộ
