We present the first phylogenomic analysis of relationships among all ten families of Liliales, based on 75 plastid genes from 35 species in 29 genera, and 97 additional plastomes stratified across angiosperm lineages. We used a supermatrix approach to extend our analysis to 58 of 64 genera of Liliales, and calibrated the resulting phylogeny against 17 fossil dates to produce a new timeline for...

Advances in wireless and mobile computing environments allow a mobile user to perform within a wide range of applications. For example, mobile users need to pull data about unfamiliar places or local life styles related to their location. Furthermore, a mobile user may be interested in getting location dependent query results periodically. We propose an algorithm for handling continuous queries...

In mixed circuit simulation, the estimation of parasitic capacitances of deep-submicron MOSFETs is very important. With the continuous scaling of the devices, the extrinsic capacitance, i.e. the overlap and fringing capacitances become a growing fraction of the total gate capacitance. We found the major existing models do not predict correctly the overlap capacitance and the inner fringing capa...

We introduce linear decision diagrams (LDDs) as a special class of linear representations of formal power series. LDDs can be seen as a generalization of some previously proposed structures, such as MTBDDs and matrix diagrams, that have seen successful application in the compact representation of Markov models with large state spaces. Besides providing some possibilities for additional compress...

A simple analytical argument is proposed for a possible explanation of the characteristics lateral shower age (s) proton (p)/nuclei-initiated showers. The states that density distribution (LDD) electrons p-initiated due to superposition several electromagnetic (EM) sub-showers developed at very early stage in atmosphere from decay neutral pions ( $$\pi ^{0}$$ s). Thanks property electron LDD p ...

A novel asymmetric MOSFET with no LDD on the source side is simulated on bulk-Si using a device simulator (SILVACO). In order to overcome the problems of the conventional asymmetric process, a novel asymmetric MOSFET using mesa structure and sidewall spacer gate is proposed which provides self-alignment process, aggressive scaling, and uniformity. First of all, we have simulated to compare the ...

Land degradation and desertification (LDD) has gained worldwide policy attention due to decline in land quality the resultant economic burden accrued upon a vast population reliant on land-based natural capital. In India, impacts are becoming apparent as 24 out of 29 states have been experiencing LDD since early 2000s. Here, we adopt mixed-method approach combining hierarchical cluster analysis...

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands. We use genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse colonization, and test whether the genetic founder effect on five islands is associated with dispersal distance, island size and species traits. Most species colonized postglacially via multiple dispersal events from sever...

The objectives of this study were to figure out the prevalence of sideways disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in symptom-free volunteers and to compare signal. The study was based on bilateral Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of 112 joints in 56 symptom-free volunteers. Sideways displacements were identified as medial disc displacement (MDD) and lateral disc displacement (LDD...
