Saitou ( 1986) and Ruvolo and Smith ( 1986) have criticized the delta Q-test that I proposed (Templeton 1985) for testing the ability of DNA-DNA hybridization data to discriminate between two alternative phylogenies. The criticisms fall into two basic categories: (1) those concerning the statistical properties of the delta Q-test and (2) those claiming that DNA-DNA hybridization data are superi...

This commentary argues that future burnout research will benefit from adding two perspectives. First, as depersonalization may result from insufficient recovery during off job time, it will be fruitful to include the investigation of off work experiences into burnout research. Second, adding a day level perspective will shed more light on the burnout phenomenon. Burnout has attracted much resea...

Scab, caused by Cladosporium cucumerinum Ell. et Arthur, is a prevalent disease of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) worldwide. Scab can cause serious losses for cucumber production, especially in protected culture such as high tunnel production. Resistance to cucumber scab is dominant and is controlled by a single gene, Ccu. Breeding for resistant cultivars is the most efficient way to control the...

BCAS3 microtubule-associated cell migration factor (BCAS3) is a large, highly conserved cytoskeletal protein previously proposed to be critical in angiogenesis and implicated human embryogenesis tumorigenesis. Here, we established loss-of-function variants as causative for neurodevelopmental disorder. We report 15 individuals from eight unrelated families with germline bi-allelic BCAS3. All pro...

This paper shows that the adoption of flexible manufacturing techniques by firms leads to a tougher price regime. This need not benefit consumers since the tougher regime deters entry and facilitates segmented market structures. The ability of flexible manufacturing to deter entry is moderated by non-prohibitive costs of re-anchoring flexible manufacturing processes and if entrants produce nich...

The transverse muon polarization in K+! 0 + is a measure of T-violation and a good probe of CP-violation from physics beyond the standard model. The KEK E246 experiment is searching for the transverse polarization using a new technique with stopped kaons in conjunction with a Superconducting Toroidal Spectrometer. With such a high performance detector a measurement with low backgrounds and smal...
