Mid-domain effect (MDE) models predict that the random placement of species’ ranges within a bounded geographical area leads to increased range overlap and species richness in the center of the… (More)
Separating the effects of environmental factors and spatial distance on microbial composition is difficult when these factors covary. We examined the composition of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi along… (More)
We conducted bioassay experiments to investigate the soil propagule banks of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi in old-growth forests along an elevation gradient and compared the elevation pattern with the… (More)
The protein expressions of steroidogenic factor l (SF-l) and pituitary-specific transcription factor 1 (Pit-1) were investigated immunohistochemically for 53 spontaneous pituitary adenomas of the… (More)
In vivo phototoxicity studies are important to predict drug-induced phototoxicity in humans; however, a standard methodology has not established. To determine differences in sensitivity to… (More)
In many cases, each network imposes a maximum permitted packet size called payload size. Hence, some protocols such as TCP specify a message segmentation function allows a sender to divide a single… (More)
