Adaptations of frogs to survive freezing
Five species of frogs from North America survive extensive freezing of their body fluids to temperatures as low as -8C for periods lasting at least 2 weeks. These frogs hibernate in leaf litter where subzero temperatures ... -
Adaptations to knowledge templates in Base-of-the-Pyramid markets: The role of social interaction
(2014-02-18)While templates may facilitate knowledge sharing within the base-of-the-pyramid, it is often necessary for entrepreneurs to adapt the template for reasons of resource scarcity. We explore the role of social interaction in ... -
Analysis of Multiterm Queries in Partitioned Signature File Environments
(1993-04-01)The concern of this study is the signature files which are used for information storage and retrieval in both formatted and unformatted databases. The analysis combines the concerns of signature extraction and signature ... -
Analysis of Signature Generation Schemes for Multiterm Queries In Linear Hashing with Superimposed Signatures
(1995-12-01)Signature files provide efficient retrieval of data by reflecting the essence of the data objects into bit patterns. Our analysis explores the performance of three superimposed signature generation schemes as they are ... -
Analysis of Signature Generation Schemes for Multiterm Queries In Partitioned Signature File Environments
(1993-05-01)Our analysis explores the performance of three superimposed signature generation schemes as they are applied to a dynamic sigrtature file organization based on linear hashing: Linear Hashing with Superinzposed Signatures ... -
Anatomic site of application of ice-nucleating active bacteria affects supercooling in the Colorado potato beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Most overwintering insects do not survive internal freezing and must avoid low temperatures or enhance the capacity of their body fluids to supercool to survive low temperature exposure. Recent reports have demonstrated ... -
