Faunal Responses to Habitat Disturbance: Do the Principles Explaining Responses of Ant Communities Also Apply to Terrestrial Reptiles? by Angga Rachmansah, Keith Christian, Brett P. Murphy, Christine Schlesinger, Alan N. Andersen

“…Recently, a conceptual framework centred on habitat openness was developed for understanding ant responses to disturbance. It proposes that habitat openness is a fundamental driver of variation among ant communities, and that the primary impacts of disturbance are mediated through ant functional responses to changes in openness. …”

Frequency response of certain temporal and complex transfer functions for the Interfacial 1D temperature wave by Haidar, Nassar

“…It is proved that only high frequency hyperbolic interfacial temperature waves can have a fully frequency-invariant temporal transfer function relative to such a vibrating boundary. The frequency response of an associated complex transfer function is also studied and demonstrated to behave, at low frequencies, as fixed lag compensator. …”

Early nanoparticle intervention preserves motor function following cervical spinal cord injury by Sarah E. Hocevar, Brian C. Ross, Yinghao Wang, Cecelia R. Crowther, Samantha R. Schwartz, Brain J. Cummings, Aileen J. Anderson, Lonnie D. Shea

“…The increased sparing of neurons and neural circuits in the 2 hpi NP group corresponded with increased motor function, as measured by a ladder beam test. Collectively, these results suggest that early intervention with NPs can modulate the inflammatory response and preserve motor function and circuits following SCI.…”

FUNCTIONAL POLYMORPHISM OF THE PRO-INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINE GENES IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS by E. G. Churina, O. I. Urazova, V. V. Novitsky, A. V. Sitnikova, S. E. Barmina

“…The MBT antigens can cause dysfunction of the receptors and modulate the cytokine secreting function of immunocompetent cells. Polymorphic genes of pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in the mechanisms of defense responses of innate immunity, determine the degree of resistance to individual mycobacterial infection, as well as severity and duration of the disease in cases of clinical manifestations. …”
