A comparison of electronic and manual fracture risk assessment tools in screening elderly male US veterans at risk for osteoporosis
This study compares four screening tools in their ability to predict osteoporosis. We found that there was no significant difference between the tools. These results provide support for the use of automated sc...

Automated Multi-Scale Microstructure Heterogeneity Analysis of Selective Electron Beam Melted TiAl6V4 Components
In additive manufacturing (AM) the moving heat source and layer deposition gives rise to each volume of material receiving a complex thermal history. In addition, the machine control systems can vary the heat ...

Evolution of corallivory in the gastropod genus Drupella
Although muricid gastropods in the genus Drupella are well-known consumers of Indo-Pacific corals, their evolutionary and ecological history is unclear, as is their relationship to the apparently facultative cora...

Identification of the primary caspase 3 cleavage site in alpha II-spectrin during apoptosis
Alpha II-spectrin is one of the major proteins responsible for maintaining the cytoskeletal integrity of the cell. The caspase 3-mediated cleavage of alpha II-spectrin during apoptotic cell death may play an i...

Species boundaries in the starfish genus Linckia
The genetic basis for species boundaries in the starfish genus Linckia was examined using variation observed in 613 base pairs (bp) of sequence from the cytochrome oxidase I gene of mtDNA and 16 allozyme loci. F...

Phylogenetic relationships among giant clam species (Mollusca: Tridacnidae) determined by protein electrophoresis
Analyses of allozyme variation at 26 loci in eight species of giant clams, collected from the Western Pacific between 1989 and 1991, have confirmed the major grou**s currently recognised within the family T...

Genetic uniformity of widely separated populations of the coral reef starfishLinckia laevigata from the East Indian and West Pacific Oceans, revealed by allozyme electrophoresis
Gene flow among 18 widely separated populations of the starfishLinckia laevigata was investigated using allozyme electrophoresis at seven polymorphic enzyme loci. Little genetic differentiation was observed among...

Gene flow among giant clam (Tridacna gigas) populations in Pacific does not parallel ocean circulation
Tridacna gigas (L.) populations were sampled from 13 locations throughout the west Pacific in 1990–1991 and screened for allozyme variation at seven polymorphic loci. Significant genetic differences were found b...

Genetic consequences of long larval life in the starfish Linckia laevigata (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) on the Great Barrier Reef
Gene flow between populations of the asteroid Linckia laevigata (Linnaeus) was investigated by examining over 1000 individuals collected from ten reefs throughout the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, for gene...

No genetic differentiation of giant clam (Tridacna gigas) populations in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Six Tridacna gigas populations were sampled in 1990 from locations throughout the central and northern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Despite separations in excess of 1000 km, mean Nei's unbiased genetic distances amo...

Genetic structure of giant clam (Tridacna derasa) populations from reefs in the Indo-Pacific
Large genetic differences were observed among the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Fiji and Philippine populations of Tridacna derasa (Roding) sampled in 1989 and 1990 (Nei's unbiased genetic distance, D,=0.137 to 0.341...

The ecology of antibiotic production
Over the last 40 years, there has been a steady supply of novel, useful antibiotics produced by microbes isolated from soil and other natural environments. The increased efficiency of screening procedures in t...

Scanning electron microscope studies of pollen behaviour on immature and mature brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea var. Gemmifera) stigmas
Observations of pollen tube behaviour on the stigma surface have shown that germination and growth of compatible pollen tubes is unaffected by stigma age. However, incompatible pollen tubes fail to become atta...

Spore formation in the Actinoplanaceae (Actinomycetales)
Spore development in four genera, Actinoplanes, Dactylosporangium, Planomonospora, and Streptosporangium, was studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Actinoplanes and Streptosporangium formed sp...

An examination of the soil washing technique by its application to several soils
The soil-washing technique is discussed in relation to its efficiency in removing fungal spores from soil samples and to its application for studying soil microhabitats. Detailed data on the application of the...

Selection of Media for Isolation of Streptomycetes
In the past, many investigations involving the selective isolation of Streptomycetes from soil have been carried out. However, there seems little agreement on which media are most suitable for this purpose. A ...

A method for isolating fungi from soil microhabitats
A technique is described for the separation and washing of soil micro-habitats (the separation being on a size basis). Tests of the efficiency of the washing technique show that, for the soil under experiment,...
