Identifying plant taxa that honey bees (Apis mellifera) forage upon is of great apicultural interest, but traditional methods are labor intensive and may lack resolution. Here we evaluate a high-throughput genetic barcoding approach to characterize trap-collected pollen from multiple North Dakota apiaries across multiple years. We used the Illumina MiSeq platform to generate sequence scaffolds ...

current literatures on urban parks and green spaces showed that people’s preference for visiting urban parks in various group users is different. people visit parks for various motives and activities, leading to several patterns of park usability. however, the patterns in urban park use in majority of iran cities are not yet known. this study presented the preference for activity in urban parks...

Phylogenetic tree reconciliation is a powerful approach for inferring evolutionary events like gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, and gene loss, which are fundamental to our understanding of molecular evolution. While duplication-loss (DL) reconciliation leads to a unique maximum-parsimony solution, duplication-transfer-loss (DTL) reconciliation yields a multitude of optimal solutions,...

In this note we prove a Moore-like bound for graphs of diameter two and given degree which arise as lifts of dipoles with loops and multiple edges, with voltage assignments in Abelian groups.

Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...

We report complete assignments of the amide proton signals in the three long dNN connectivity sequences observed in the NOESY spectrum of deuteriated staphylococcal nuclease (Nase) complexed with thymidine 3',5'-bisphosphate (pdTp) and Ca2+, Mr 18K. The assignments are made by comparing NOESY spectra with 1H-15N and 1H-13C heteronuclear multiple-quantum shift correlation (HMQC) spectra of Nase ...
