Information and Communication Technologies for Development: Evolution of International Discourse by Z. E. Gomboin

“…The conclusion is drawn that international actors’ ICT4D efforts resemble a patchwork of isolated programs and initiatives rather than a harmonious structure. Meanwhile, a half-of a century-long history of experimentation with the ICT4D programs shows quite convincingly that the ICT should be regarded only as a means to achieve development goals, and not as an end in itself.…”

Evaluating biotic and abiotic drivers of avian community mobbing responses along urban gradients in Southern California by Benjamin Ewing, Eric M. Wood, Ari Martínez

“…We recorded the number of individual birds and species that exhibited mobbing behavior at experimental sites, as well as various biotic and abiotic factors that may influence avian mobbing, including noise level, impervious surface cover, avian community turnover across the urban‐to‐rural gradient, and the structure of local vegetation, which we assumed may be important for either hosting roosting screech‐owls or providing cover for mobbing bird species. …”

Mitochondrial-ER Contact Sites and Tethers Influence the Biosynthesis and Function of Coenzyme Q by Noelle Alexa Novales, Hadar Meyer, Yeynit Asraf, Maya Schuldiner, Catherine F. Clarke

“…The CoQ synthome resides in specific niches within the inner mitochondrial membrane, termed CoQ domains, that are often located adjacent to the endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES). Loss of ERMES destabilizes the CoQ synthome and renders CoQ biosynthesis less efficient. …”
