Single-species microarrays and comparative transcriptomics.

BACKGROUND: Prefabricated expression microarrays are currently available for only a few species but methods have been proposed to extend their application to comparisons between divergent genomes.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL Armchair + Leg Rest FINDINGS: Here we demonstrate that the hybridization intensity of genomic DNA is a poor basis on which to select

A novel system for classifying tooth root phenotypes.

Human root and canal number and morphology are highly variable, and internal root canal form and count does not necessarily co-vary directly with Loaf Pans external morphology.While several typologies and classifications have been developed to address individual components of teeth, there is a need for a comprehensive system, that captures internal

High Variability in Pre-Oviposition Time Independent of Diet Available at Eclosion: A key Reproductive Trait in the Ladybird Beetle Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Its Native Range

While insect predators need high-quality food to reach sexual maturity and reproduce, starvation following adult eclosion may occur when prey are missing in agroecosystems.This study explores whether the type of diet available at eclosion determines the future fecundity of newly emerged adult GIFT WRAP predators.In a laboratory experiment, three di

NETWORK SECURITY ATTACKS. ARP POISONING CASE STUDY

Arp poisoning is one of the most common attacks in a switched network.A switch is a network device that limits the ability of attackers that use a packet sniffer to gain access to information from internal network traffic.However, using ARP poisoning the traffic between two computers can be intercepted even in a network that uses switches.This meth
