Racial and Economic Factors in Attitudes to Immigration Hostility towards minorities may sometimes have economic rather than racial motives. Labour market fears, or concerns about the welfare system, are often believed to manifest themselves in hostile attitudes towards population groups that are considered to be competitors for these resources. The question of how attitudes of majority populat...

This paper presents a design of a Mandarin to Taiwanese Min Nan (abbreviated as Taiwanese hereafter) machine translation system. It is the first machine translation system which focuses on these two languages. An input Mandarin sentence is segmented, tagged and translated word by word according to the part of speech of each word. The candidates come from a Mandarin-Taiwanese dictionary. If more...

Defining the molecular targets of insecticides is crucial for assessing their selectivity and potential impact on environment and health. Two commercial insecticides are now shown to target a transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel complex that is unique to insect stretch receptor cells. Pymetrozine and pyrifluquinazon disturbed Drosophila coordination and hearing by acting on chordotona...

Neonatal alloimmune neutropenia (NAN) is an uncommon disease of the newborn provoked by the maternal production of neutrophil-specific alloantibodies, whereby neutrophil IgG antibodies cross the placenta and induce the destruction of fetal neutrophils. Affected newborns are usually identified by the occurrence of bacterial infections. The most frequent antigens involved in NAN are the human neu...

We construct biembeddings of some Latin squares which are Cayley tables of dihedral groups. These facilitate the construction of nan 2 nonisomorphic face 2-colourable triangular embeddings of the complete tripartite graph Kn,n,n and the complete graph Kn for linear classes of values of n and suitable constants a. Previously the best known lower bounds for the number of such embeddings that are ...

Xerophvllunz rentuc is a mass-flowering, nectarless herb in which self-pollination is unavoidable as anthers shed pollen onto the three, receptive stigmatic ridges attached to each pistil within a few hours after expansion of the perianth. We compared the pollination system with reproductive success in this species through controlled. hand-pollination experiments. Ovaries of flowers sampled fro...
