Concepts

A framework examining students' value of UREs as a predictor of their motivation to continue in research, incorporating individuals' expectations about success, perceptions of value and costs.

Data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable

A transcription factor that controls expression of genes that mediate the negative effects of reduced IIS and is restricted from the nucleus when phosphorylated by Akt

Abiotic chemical reaction where Fe(II) reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl radicals capable of oxidizing organic matter

Relative abundance of two major bacterial phyla associated with obesity and leanness respectively

Matrix used to quantify uncertainty in parameter estimates by computing the inverse of the Hessian of the log-likelihood function

A theory based on the assumption that distribution of individuals is scale free, meaning geometric patterns are the same whether viewed through microscope or telescope

Mean-scaled within-population genetic variance-covariance matrix describing genetic constraints and evolutionary potential

Geographic information system techniques using grid-based spatial data to analyze landscape patterns and habitat characteristics

A clustering approach that assumes feature space is a product of a finite number of Gaussian components, each representing distinct co-varied features in multivariable space

Last defensive line of German military occupation in the northern Emilia-Romagna Apennine Mountains built by forced Italian mountain inhabitants

A tendency among scientists to presuppose that there is little conflict in the brood chamber of burying beetles

Temperature range where helium begins to be retained in apatite crystals as they cool

Statistical models used to identify and characterize gene functions from metagenomic sequences

Theoretical model predicting conditions under which chromosomal inversions can spread due to linkage of locally adapted alleles
