Inferring evolutionarily significant units of bacterial diversity from broad environmental surveys of single-locus data.
By far the greatest challenge for diversity studies is to characterize the diversity of prokaryotes, which probably encompasses billions of species, most of which are unculturable. Recent advances in theory and analysis have focused on multi-locus approaches and on combined analysis of molecular and ecological data. However, broad environmental surveys of bacterial diversity still rely on singl...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Significant Units and the Conservation of Biological Diversity under the Endangered' Species Act
Absrract.-The U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) considers "distinct" populations of vertebrates to be "species" (and hence eligible for legal protection) but does not explain how distinctness should be evaluated. A review of the legislative and legal history of the ESA indicates that in implementing the ESA with respect to vertebrate populations, the Fish and Wildlife Senice and the National Ma...
متن کاملInferring Multitasking Breakpoints from Single-Task Data
Recent research has shown that computer users placed in a deferrable multitasking situation generally postpone secondarytask interruptions until points of low mental workload in the primary task. Studies examining this phenomenon have relied on empirical data that explicitly show user switch points in the course of multitask performance. This paper addresses a related question: Can these same s...
متن کاملInferring HIV Escape Rates from Multi-Locus Genotype Data
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize viral protein fragments displayed by major histocompatibility complex molecules on the surface of virally infected cells and generate an anti-viral response that can kill the infected cells. Virus variants whose protein fragments are not efficiently presented on infected cells or whose fragments are presented but not recognized by CTLs therefore have a c...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
