In recent decades, most rural-urban fringes in the Netherlands have seen substantial urbanisation.Urban expansions at the rural-urban fringe have formed complex hybrid landscapes consisting of residential areas, commercial zones, agricultural land, recreational and nature areas.In certain regions, urbanisation is rather compact and concentric, wher
We review the distribution of the Buff-fronted Owl Aegolius harrisii harrisii in Peru, supported by unpublished museum records and Rods new specimens and observations.Compared to previous published records, the distribution and elevation range for the species in Peru are expanded significantly.Based on all records, we deduce that the overall distri
In this work we report on the fabrication process for the development of a flexible piezopolymeric transducer for health monitoring applications, based on lead-free, piezoelectric zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films.All the selected materials are compatible with the space environment and were deposited by the RF magnetron sputtering technique at room tempe
This article provides specific best practices for creating a cross-campus peer mentor network.Peer mentoring programs are proliferating on college campuses, especially those that are focused on helping first-year students as they transition into a higher education institution.At an institution where several peer mentoring organizations may already
A conserved AAA+ ATPase, called Cdc48 in yeast and p97 or VCP in metazoans, plays an essential role in many cellular processes by segregating polyubiquitinated proteins from complexes or membranes.For example, in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD), Cdc48/p97 pulls polyubiquitinated, misfolded proteins out of the ER and
