The Pacific cod ( Gadus macrocephalus ) supports large commercial fisheries in the northern Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. Here we characterize 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from enriched genomic libraries. Loci were screened on a sample of 96 spawning adults. The average number of alleles per locus was 25.3 (range 12–44), with expected heterozygosities ( H E ) ranging from 0.5...

In the acquisition of foreign languages, it is a challenge to achieve a near­native level, particularly in academic contexts. This is certainly important in the case of future foreign language teachers, because they are responsible to transfer their knowledge. In this sense, a continuous formation is needed in order to acquire an academic level. However, most of these students finished their un...

Dimensional scaling of interconnects at future technology generations presents major limitations to the improvement of the performances of integrated circuits. In this paper, we investigate the impact of highly scaled Cu/low-κ interconnects on the speed and power dissipation of multiple circuit blocks based on timing-closed full-chip Graphic Database System II (GDSII)-level layouts with detaile...

Framing an argument with the right terminology is critical to making any case effectively. Sometimes such framing is to clarify understanding, while in others it is rhetorical and persuasive. Politics is a particular example of the latter. Since at least 1984 when Duane Webster first developed and wrote “Organizational Projections for Envisioning Research Library Futures,” we have been struggli...

204 Last fall, ACRL published the Value of Academic Libraries Comprehensive Research Review and Report. Since then, many librarians have cited the report's literature review; even more have commented on the variety of recommendations and the breadth of the research agenda laid out in the report. The literature review captures our past efforts to explore the return-on-investment and impact of ac...

s Service (CAS) registry number. In the simulation studies, we consider the mass spectra extracted from the NIST Chemistry WebBook (NIST library) as a reference library and the repetitive library as query (experimental) data. In addition, since we assume that the NIST library has the mass spectrum information for all the
