Integrating Causal and Evolutionary Analysis of Life-History Evolution: Arrival Date in a Long-Distant Migrant

In migratory species, the timing of arrival at the breeding grounds is a life-history trait with major fitness consequences.The optimal ALUMINUM COLORING FOIL ROLL arrival date varies from year-to-year, and animals use cues to adjust their arrival dates to match this annual variation.However, which cues they use to time their arrival and whether th

A feasibility study on different NDT techniques used for testing bond quality in cold roll bonded Al-Sn alloy/steel bimetal strips

This paper presents non-destructive testing (NDT) results for the detection of bond defects in aluminium-tin (Al-Sn) alloy/steel bimetal strips.Among all types of bimetal strip that are used in the automotive industry for plain journal engine bearings, Al-Sn alloys cold roll bonded (CRB) onto steel backing is the most common type.The difficulty to

Comprehensive phylogenetic reconstruction of amoebozoa based on concatenated analyses of SSU-rDNA and actin genes.

Evolutionary relationships within Amoebozoa have been the subject of controversy for two reasons: 1) paucity of morphological characters in traditional surveys and 2) haphazard taxonomic sampling in modern molecular reconstructions.These along with other factors have prevented the erection of a definitive system that resolves confidently both highe
