Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments
Tập 364 Số 1526 - Trang 1985-1998 - 2009
One of the most ubiquitous and long-lasting recent changes to the surface of our
planet is the accumulation and fragmentation of plastics. Within just a few
decades since mass production of plastic products commenced in the 1950s,
plastic debris has accumulated in terrestrial environments, in the open ocean,
on shorelines of even the most remote islands and in the deep sea. Annual
clean-up operati...
Estimating terrestrial biodiversity through extrapolation
Tập 345 Số 1311 - Trang 101-118 - 1994
Both the magnitude and the urgency of the task of assessing global biodiversity
require that we make the most of what we know through the use of estimation and
extrapolation. Likewise, future biodiversity inventories need to be designed
around the use of effective sampling and estimation procedures, especially for
‘hyperdiverse’ groups of terrestrial organisms, such as arthropods, nematodes,
fungi...
DNA barcoding Australia's fish species
Tập 360 Số 1462 - Trang 1847-1857 - 2005
Two hundred and seven species of fish, mostly Australian marine fish, were
sequenced (barcoded) for a 655 bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase
subunit I gene (cox1). Most species were represented by multiple specimens, and
754 sequences were generated. The GC content of the 143 species of teleosts was
higher than the 61 species of sharks and rays (47.1% versus 42.2%), largely due
to a...
Investigations into resting-state connectivity using independent component analysis
Tập 360 Số 1457 - Trang 1001-1013 - 2005
Inferring resting-state connectivity patterns from functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) data is a challenging task for any analytical technique. In this
paper, we review a probabilistic independent component analysis (PICA) approach,
optimized for the analysis of fMRI data, and discuss the role which this
exploratory technique can take in scientific investigations into the structure
of the...
The broaden–and–build theory of positive emotions
Tập 359 Số 1449 - Trang 1367-1377 - 2004
The broaden–and–build theory describes the form and function of a subset of
positive emotions, including joy, interest, contentment and love. A key
proposition is that these positive emotionsbroadenan individual's momentary
thought–action repertoire: joy sparks the urge to play, interest sparks the urge
to explore, contentment sparks the urge to savour and integrate, and love sparks
a recurring cy...
Food waste within food supply chains: quantification and potential for change to 2050
Tập 365 Số 1554 - Trang 3065-3081 - 2010
Food waste in the global food supply chain is reviewed in relation to the
prospects for feeding a population of nine billion by 2050. Different
definitions of food waste with respect to the complexities of food supply chains
(FSCs)are discussed. An international literature review found a dearth of data
on food waste and estimates varied widely; those for post-harvest losses of
grain in developing ...
Risk factors for human disease emergence
Tập 356 Số 1411 - Trang 983-989 - 2001
A comprehensive literature review identifies 1415 species of infectious organism
known to be pathogenic to humans, including 217 viruses and prions, 538 bacteria
and rickettsia, 307 fungi, 66 protozoa and 287 helminths. Out of these, 868
(61%) are zoonotic, that is, they can be transmitted between humans and animals,
and 175 pathogenic species are associated with diseases considered to be
‘emergin...
Transport and release of chemicals from plastics to the environment and to wildlife
Tập 364 Số 1526 - Trang 2027-2045 - 2009
Plastics debris in the marine environment, including resin pellets, fragments
and microscopic plastic fragments, contain organic contaminants, including
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum
hydrocarbons, organochlorine pesticides (2,2′-bis( p-
chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane, hexachlorinated hexanes), polybrominated
diphenylethers, alkylphenols and bisp...
Plastics recycling: challenges and opportunities
Tập 364 Số 1526 - Trang 2115-2126 - 2009
Plastics are inexpensive, lightweight and durable materials, which can readily
be moulded into a variety of products that find use in a wide range of
applications. As a consequence, the production of plastics has increased
markedly over the last 60 years. However, current levels of their usage and
disposal generate several environmental problems. Around 4 per cent of world oil
and gas production, ...
A probabilistic atlas and reference system for the human brain: International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM)
Tập 356 Số 1412 - Trang 1293-1322 - 2001
Motivated by the vast amount of information that is rapidly accumulating about
the human brain in digital form, we embarked upon a program in 1992 to develop a
four–dimensional probabilistic atlas and reference system for the human brain.
Through an International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) a dataset is being
collected that includes 7000 subjects between the ages of eighteen and ninety
yea...
