Isostatic depression is the sinking of large parts of the Earth's crust into the asthenosphere. The sinking is caused by a heavy weight placed on the Earth's surface. Often this is caused by the heavy weight of glacial ice due to continental glaciation. This is a process in which permanent ice places pressure on the Ea... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11782509 |
Mario Pino Quivira is a Chilean geologist specialized in geoarchaeology and sedimentology that has been involved in several studies of early human settlements in Southern Chile. After Tom Dillehay's excavation of Monte Verde near Puerto Montt, where human remains estimated to be about 12,800 years old have been found, ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11782853 |
Gu Binglin (, born October 8, 1945 in Dehui, Jilin, China) is a Chinese physicist and material scientist. He is the 17th President of Tsinghua University and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11794322 |
Electrochemical equivalent The electrochemical equivalent, sometimes abbreviated Eq or Z, of a chemical element is the mass of that element (in grams) transported by 1 coulomb of electric charge. The electrochemical equivalent of an element is measured with a voltameter. The electrochemical equivalent of a substance ma... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11797347 |
Zero field NMR is the acquisition of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in an environment carefully screened from magnetic fields (Including from the Earth's field). It is useful for studying chemicals with magnetically active nuclei (spins 1/2 and greater), and for studying molecular dynamics. The development of very ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801199 |
Kin recognition Kin recognition, also called kin detection, is an organism's ability to distinguish between close genetic kin and non-kin. In evolutionary biology and psychology, such an ability is presumed to have evolved for inbreeding avoidance. An additional adaptive function sometimes posited for kin recognition i... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
Kin recognition A well-known human example of an inbreeding avoidance mechanism is the Westermarck effect, in which unrelated individuals who happen to spend their childhood in the same household find each other sexually unattractive. Similarly, due to the cue-based mechanisms that mediate social bonding and cooperatio... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
Kin recognition ": For a recent review of the debates around kin recognition and their role in the wider debates about how to interpret inclusive fitness theory, including its compatibility with ethnographic data on human kinship, see Holland (2012). Leading inclusive fitness theorists such as Grafen have argued that t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
Kin recognition It's also noted that belding's ground squirrels produce at least two scents arising from dorsal and oral secretions, giving two opportunities for kin recognition. Auditory distinctions have been noted among avian species. Long-tailed tits ("Aegithalos caudatus") are capable of discriminating kin and non... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
Kin recognition Due to the nature of plant reproduction and growth, plants are more likely than animals to live in close proximity to family members, and therefore stand to gain more from the ability to differentiate kin from strangers. In recent years, botanists have been conducting studies to determine which plant sp... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
Kin recognition strangers, but not necessary to recognize self vs. non-self roots. This study was performed using secretion inhibitors, which disabled the mechanism responsible for kin recognition in this species, and showed similar growth patterns to Bhatt et al., (2010) and Murphy and Dudley (2009) in control groups.... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
Kin recognition Researchers also concluded that the auxin-synthesis gene TAA1 is involved in the process, downstream of the photoreceptors, by performing a similar experiments using Sav3 knock-out mutants. This mechanism leads to altered leaf direction to prevent shading of related neighbors and to reduce competition f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=11801835 |
