N-Acetylaspartylglutamate: possible role as the neurotransmitter of the lateral olfactory tract.

abstract：:Tropical cyclones have massive economic, social, and ecological impacts, and models of their occurrence influence many planning activities from setting insurance premiums to conservation planning. Most impact models allow for geographically varying cyclone rates but assume that individual storm events occur randomly w...
