DIVERSITY AND POLLINATION VALUE OF INSECTS VISITING THE FLOWERS OF A RARE BUCKWHEAT (ERIOGONUM PELINOPHILUM: POLYGONACEAE) IN DISTURBED AND "NATURAL" AREAS

Diversity and pollination value of insects visiting the flowers of a rare buckwheat (Eriogonum pelinophilum: Polygonaceae) in disturbed and "natural" areas

We Wound compared flower-visitors of the endangered plant Eriogonum pelinophilum, at relatively undisturbed and highly disturbed sites.We found no difference between sites in flower visitation rate or species richness of flower-visitors; species diversity of flower-visitors was higher at disturbed than at undisturbed sites but there was no differen

Effect of Dielectric Distributed Bragg Reflector on Electrical and Optical Properties of GaN-Based Flip-Chip Light-Emitting Diodes

We demonstrated two types of GaN-based flip-chip light-emitting diodes (FCLEDs) with distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and without DBR to investigate the effect of dielectric TiO2/SiO2 DBR on optical and electrical characteristics of FCLEDs.The reflector consisting of two single TiO2/SiO2 DBR stacks optimized for different central wavelengths demon

12/15-lipoxygenase is required for the early onset of high fat diet-induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance in mice.

Recent understanding that insulin resistance is an inflammatory condition SPF 27 KIDS necessitates searching for genes that regulate inflammation in insulin sensitive tissues.12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15LO) regulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines and is implicated in the early development of diet-induced atherosclerosis.Th
