We prove that sorting by reciprocal translocations can be done in O(n p log(n)) for an n-gene genome. Our algorithm is an adaptation of the Tannier et. al algorithm for sorting by reversals. This improves over the O(n) algorithm for sorting by reciprocal translocations given by Bergeron et al.

The governing equations for electromagneto-thermomechanical systems are well established and thoroughly derived in the literature, but have been limited to small deformations. This assumption provides an “ease” in the formulation: electromagnetic fields are governed in a Eulerian frame, whereby the thermomechanics is solved in a Lagrangean frame. It is possible to map the Eulerian frame to the ...

We investigated students’ use of Newton’s second law in mechanics and electromagnetism contexts by interviewing students in a two-semester calculusbased physics course. We observed that students’ responses are consistent with three mental models, Newtonian, Aristotelian, and a hybrid model formed with elements of the first two models. These models appeared in mechanics contexts and were transfe...
