Replicability and reliability of the background and target velocity effects in smooth pursuit eye movements
(2021-07-07)
When we follow a slowly moving target with our eyes, we perform smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEM). Previous investigations point to significantly and robustly reduced SPEM performance in the presence of a stationary ...
Fetal-Derived Immune Cells at the Roots of Lifelong Pathophysiology
(2021-02-23)
Tissue-resident innate immune cells exert a wide range of functions in both adult
homeostasis and pathology. Our understanding of when and how these cellular
networks are established has dramatically changed with the ...
Current flood risk management practices in Ghana: Gaps and opportunities for improving resilience
(2020-09-02)
This article evaluates the current gaps and describes opportunities for improving flood risk management (FRM) in Ghana, West Africa. A mixed-method participatory approach comprising questionnaires, workshops, interviews ...
Regenerated Hoof Keratin from 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Acetate and Insights into Disulfide-Ionic Liquid Interactions from MD Simulation
(2020-06-08)
Regeneration of the hoof keratin from ionic liquids was never successful in the past because the ionic liquids were not strong enough. However, this biomaterial starts to play a central role for the preparation of biofilms ...
Acid-Catalyzed Rearrangements of 3-Aryloxirane-2-Carboxamides: Novel DFT Mechanistic Insights
(2020-07-01)
Efficient synthesis of 3-arylquinolin-2(1H)-ones and N-(2-carboxyaryl)-oxalamides from protic acid-catalyzed rearrangements of 3-aryloxirane-2-carboxamides was achieved recently but not well understood. In contrast to the ...
Population size estimates based on the frequency of genetically assigned parent–offspring pairs within a subsample
(2020-07-24)
Estimating population density as precise as possible is a key premise for managing wild animal species. This can be a challenging task if the species in question is elusive or, due to high quantities, hard to count. We ...
Activity coefficients of binary methanol alcohol mixtures from cluster weighting
(2020-07-23)
The hydrogen bond network of different small alcohols is investigated via cluster analysis. Methanol/alcohol mixtures are studied with increasing chain length and branching of the molecule. Those changes can play an important ...
Intrasexual selection: Kin competition increases male-male territorial aggression in a monogamous cichlid fish
(2020-09-12)
During intrasexual competition, individuals of the same sex compete for access to breeding sites and mating partners, often accompanied by aggressive behavior. Kin selection theory predicts different kin-directed social ...
