TL;DR: The data suggest that whereas limbic overactivation is reported consistently in patients with mood disorders, future research should consider the relevance of a wider network of regions in formulating conceptual models of BD and MDD.

TL;DR: In this article, a fitness concept applicable to structured metapopulations consisting of infinitely many equally coupled patches was defined, and a more easily calculated quantity RM that relates to fitness was introduced.
Abstract: We define a fitness concept applicable to structured metapopulations consisting of infinitely many equally coupled patches, and provide means for calculating its numerical value. In addition we introduce a more easily calculated quantity RM that relates to fitness in the same manner as RO relates to fitness in ordinary population dynamics: RM of a mutant is only defined when the resident population dynamics converges to an equilibrium, and RM is larger (smaller) than one if and only if mutant fitness is positive (negative). RM corresponds to the average number of newborn dispersers resulting from the (on average less than one) local colony founded by a newborn disperser. As an example of the usefulness of these concepts we calculate the ES conditional dispersal strategy for individuals that can account for the local population density in their dispersal decisions.

TL;DR: The seasonal variation of mono-and sesquiterpene emission rates of Scots pine was measured from April to October in 2004 as mentioned in this paper from two branches; one of them was debudded in May and the other was allowed to grow new needles (branch B).
Abstract: . The seasonal variation of mono-and sesquiterpene emission rates of Scots pine was measured from April to October in 2004. The emission rates were measured daily in the afternoons with the exception of weekends. Emissions were measured from two branches; one of them was debudded in May (branch A), while the other was allowed to grow new needles (branch B). The monoterpene emission pattern remained almost constant throughout the measurement period, Δ3-carene being the dominant monoterpene (50-70% of the VOC emission). The standard monoterpene emission potential (30°C) was highest during early summer in June (the average of the two branches 1.35 µg g-1h-1) and lowest during early autumn in September (the average of the two branches 0.20 µg g-1h-1. The monoterpene emission potential of branch A remained low also during October, whereas the emission potential of branch B was very high in October. The sesquiterpenes were mainly emitted during mid summer, the dominant sesquiterpene being β-caryophyllene. Branch A had a higher sesquiterpene emission potential than branch B and the emission maximum occurred concomitant with the high concentration of airborne pathogen spores suggesting a potential defensive role of the sesquiterpene emissions. The sesquiterpene emissions were well correlated with linalool and 1,8-cineol emissions, but not with monoterpenes. Sesquiterpene and 1,8-cineol emissions were equally well described by the temperature dependent and the temperature and light dependent algorithms. This is due to the saturation of the light algorithm as the measurements were always conducted during high light conditions.

TL;DR: Because the response of breast cancers to tamoxifen therapy is correlated with the presence of ERα, cancer cells that lack ERα but contain ERβ and proliferation markers represent a novel population of apparently proliferating cells that probably are not targeted by the current antiestrogens.
Abstract: To elucidate the clinical importance of estrogen receptor (ER) beta in breast cancer, 29 archival primary breast cancer specimens, six locally recurrent cancers, and five benign mammary tumors were examined histochemically for ERalpha, ERbeta and the proliferation markers Ki67 and cyclin A. In benign tumors, most epithelial cells contained ERbeta, but ERalpha was rare. In primary cancers, both ERalpha and ERbeta occurred in epithelial cells, the presence of ERbeta being associated with elevated expression of Ki67 and cyclin A, and ERalpha with decreased levels. Thus, the highest content of proliferation markers was seen in primary cancers that were ERalpha(-) ERbeta(+). Most Ki67-containing cells coexpressed ERbeta, but few showed ERalpha. In locally recurring cancers, ERalpha, ERbeta, and Ki67 were more highly expressed than in the corresponding primary tumors, and many cells containing ERbeta, but few with ERalpha, expressed Ki67. Surprisingly, ERbeta, but not ERalpha, was seen in the stromal cells of both primary and recurrent cancers. Because the response of breast cancers to tamoxifen therapy is correlated with the presence of ERalpha, cancer cells that lack ERalpha but contain ERbeta and proliferation markers represent a novel population of apparently proliferating cells that probably are not targeted by the current antiestrogens. Thus, appropriate ERbeta-specific ligands, perhaps in combination with tamoxifen, may be useful in improving the treatment of breast cancers.
