A large variety of aquatic animals was found to emit the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide when nitrate was present in the environment. The emission was ascribed to denitrification by ingested bacteria in the anoxic animal gut, and the exceptionally high N(2)O-to-N(2) production ratio suggested delayed induction of the last step of denitrification. Filter- and deposit-feeding animal species s...

We compare integration of economic, matching and networking markets. There can be losers from in all three cases, but their relative numbers depend on the type market. many pure exchange economies. are relatively few In case, tend to lie between those other two cases. particular, grand economy markets, there weakly more non-losers than losers, with strict preferences gainers losers.

Identifying the mode numbers in whispering-gallery mode resonators (WGMRs) is important for tailoring them to experimental needs. Here we report on a novel experimental mode analysis technique based on the combination of frequency analysis and far-field imaging for high mode numbers of large WGMRs. The radial mode numbers q and the angular mode numbers p = ℓ-m are identified and labeled via far...

This paper presents the results of RiMOM-IM in the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) 2014.We only participated in IM@OAEI2014. We first describe the overall framework of our matching System (RiMOM-IM); then we detail the techniques used in the framework for instance matching. Last, we give a thorough analysis on our results and discuss some future work on RiMOM-IM. 1 Presentation ...

Grounded theories assume that there is no central module for cognition. According to this view, all cognitive phenomena, including those considered the province of amodal cognition such as reasoning, numeric, and language processing, are ultimately grounded in (and emerge from) a variety of bodily, affective, perceptual, and motor processes. The development and expression of cognition is constr...

BACKGROUND In a "wasp-waist" ecosystem, an intermediate trophic level is expected to control the abundance of predators through a bottom-up interaction and the abundance of prey through a top-down interaction. Previous studies suggest that the North Sea is mainly governed by bottom-up interactions driven by climate perturbations. However, few studies have investigated the importance of the inte...

In this paper we develop a hybrid symbolic-numeric fast method for solving the secular equation associated with a diagonal plus rank-one eigenvalue problem of order n in O(n) operations and O(n) storage. AMS classification: 65F15

The judged likelihood of a focal outcome should generally decrease as the list of alternative possibilities increases. For example, the likelihood that a runner will win a race goes down when 2 new entries are added to the field. However, 6 experiments demonstrate that the presence of implausible alternatives (duds) often increases the judged likelihood of a focal outcome. This dud-alternative ...

Complex gait analysis systems are not generally available worldwide, and no simple system of assessing gait by observation has been validated specifically for use in patients with cerebral palsy. The authors have developed a visual gait analysis score for use in cerebral palsy. Videotaped sequences of patients were recorded before and after surgery as part of a three-dimensional gait study usin...

Lei, Yeh and Zhang put forward the anti-forcing number af(G,M) for a perfect matching M in graph G, which is minimum of edges G not whose deletion results subgraph with unique M. The numbers all matchings form spectrum G. polynomial Af(G,x) counting classifying possessing same In this paper, we deduce recurrence formula continuity catacondensed hexagonal systems.
