    The ascent of water in trees: (Second paper)

    Jul 8, 1907 - The physical conditions in the vessels interpose no obstacle to the exertion of a pumping action on their contents controlled by the medullary ray cells. There are many theoretical ways in which surface tension action could be brought into play in

    Open, reproducible hardware for microscopy

    Dr Rifka Vlijm - Going Live! Technological developments for live cell (STED) super-resolution imaging. ... They have shown the value of these improvements by detecting cells in a specific cell division stage without the typical required chemical or

    Antibiotics: opportunities for genetic manipulation

    Aug 31, 1989 - New antibiotics can still be discovered by the development of novel screening procedures. Notable successes over the last few years include the monobactams, β- lactamase inhibitors (clavulanic acid) and new glycopeptides in the antibacterial held;

    Eukaryotic organisms in Proterozoic oceans

    May 5, 2006 - The geological record of protists begins well before the Ediacaran and Cambrian diversification of animals, but the antiquity of that history, its reliability as a chronicle of evolution and the causal inferences that can be drawn from it remain

    No extension of lifespan by ablation of germ line in Drosophila

    Dec 21, 2005 - Increased reproduction is frequently associated with a reduction in longevity in a variety of organisms. Traditional explanations of this ‘cost of reproduction’ suggest that trade-offs between reproduction and longevity should be obligate.

    V. On the organisation of the fossil plants of the coal-measures.—Part XVIII

    Jan 1, 1891 - In my last Memoir, Part XVII., I called attention to a spore-bearing strobilus, first described by me, under the name of Volkmannia Dawsoni, in 1871, in the ‘Memoirs of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester.’ This latter

    Cross- and auto-correlation in early vision

    Jul 7, 2011 - Neurons that respond selectively to the orientation of visual stimuli were discovered in V1 more than 50 years ago, but it is still not fully understood how or why this is brought about. We report experiments planned to show whether human observers

    Social behaviour and collective motion in plant-animal worms

    Feb 24, 2016 - Social behaviour may enable organisms to occupy ecological niches that would otherwise be unavailable to them. Here, we test this major evolutionary principle by demonstrating self-organizing social behaviour in the plant-animal, Symsagittifera
