female heterogamety and speciation: reduced introgression of the z chromosome between two species of nightingales.several lines of evidence suggest that the x chromosome plays a large role in intrinsic postzygotic isolation. the role of the z chromosome in speciation is much less understood. to explore the role of the z chromosome in reproductive isolation, we studied nucleotide variation in two closely related bird species, the thrush nightingale (luscinia luscinia) and the common nightingale (l. megarhynchos). these species are isolated by incomplete prezygotic isolation and female hybrid sterility. we se ...201019796142

integrating healthcare design research into practice: setting a new standard of practice.it seems safe to conclude that nearly 150 years ago, "the lady with the lamp," florence nightingale, set a course that practice-based healthcare researchers continue to follow today. in her book, notes on nursing (1860), nightingale identified light, ventilation, noise, and sanitation as elements of the environment that affected the well-being of soldiers in her care. today, we attempt to study these same relationships: those that exist between the built environment of healthcare settings, and t ...201021162432

remembering florence nightingale's panorama: 21st-century nursing--at a critical crossroads.florence nightingale lived and worked in response to her times--yet also ahead of her time. she insisted on pursuing a career even though her wealthy family could have provided her with a lifetime of leisure. because she was a woman, this choice to work outside her home was all the more unusual. nightingale was also a vanguard woman because she chose nursing, a role that was considered the work of desperate, impoverished women who lived on the street like prostitutes. in addition to these unusua ...201020664022
