tThe thale cress Arabidopsis thaliana is a powerful model organism for studying a wide variety of biologicalprocesses. Recent advances in sequencing technology have resulted in a wealth of information describingnumerous aspects of A. thaliana genome function. However, there is a relative paucity of computationalsystems for efficiently and effectively using these data to create testable hypothes…
Victims of school-based peer harassment face a range of risks including psycho-social, physical, and academic harm. The aim of the present study was to examine the behavioral coping responses used by early adolescents when they face peer victimization. To meet this aim, 216 sixth grade students (55 % girls) from two urban middle schools and 254 students (50 % girls) from one suburban middle sch…
A biofuel cell, consisting of two 7-ím diameter, 2-cm long carbon fibers and operating at ambient temperature in a pH 5 aqueous solution is described. The areas of the anode and the cathode of the cell are 60 times smaller than those of the smallest reported (methanol oxidizing) fuel cell1 and 180 times smaller than those of the smallest area biofuel cell.2 The power density of the cell exceed…
