Flatfish have the most extreme asymmetric body morphology of vertebrates. During metamorphosis, one eye migrates to the contralateral side of the skull, and this migration is accompanied by extensive craniofacial transformations and simultaneous development of lopsided body pigmentation(1-5). The evolution of this developmental and physiological innovation remains enigmatic. Comparative genomics of two flatfish...
Perovskite bismuth ferrite-BFO (111) membranes, as a potential sensitive electrochemical sensor, are investigated for the detection of amino acids by molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) techniques. For the detection mechanism of the ferromagnetic phase BFO (111) membrane, the cation bridge model indicates that there is a electronic signal amplification (0.01-0.09 V), due to the enhanceme...
Consensual stereotypes of some groups are relatively accurate, whereas others are not. Previous work suggesting that national character stereotypes are inaccurate has been criticized on several grounds. In this article we (a) provide arguments for the validity of assessed national mean trait levels as criteria for evaluating stereotype accuracy and (b) report new data on national character in 26 cultures from d...
