Most studies of evolutionary rates, except those concerning laboratory populations, use data from fossils to measure amounts of change occurring over time (e.g., Raup and Crick 1981; Cracraft 1984; Stanley 1985; Futuyma 1986; Bookstein 1987, 1988, 1989; Campbell and Day 1987; Gingerich 1987; Rosenzweig et al. 1987; Forey 1988; MacFadden 1988; McNamara 1990; Taylor and Larwood 1990; Fenster and ...

Among all European countries, Germany absorbs by far the largest number of immigrants. But to date, German government has yet adopt a system that will effectively control influx foreigners. The immigration Ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe, which is due historical events and therefore constitutionally guaranteed, special case. It marked selection criteria (language tests), de facto quotas, mob...

Between the 1980s and late 1990s the Czech environmental movement has developed from two official national conservationist groups, which were recognized by the communist regime and which in their activities overlapped with more independent initiatives, into a complex network of diverse groups. Early in this past decade the standing of the environmental movement shifted from champions of democra...

Thomas Cech shared the 1989 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Sidney Altman (Enzymatic cleavage of RNA by RNA. Biosci. Rep. 10:317–337, 1990). That year we also published the lectures by the winners of the Physiology or Medicine prize: Harold E Varmus (Retroviruses and oncogenes I. Biosci. Rep. 10:413–430, 1990) and J Michael Bishop (Retroviruses and oncogenes II. Biosci. Rep. 10:473–491, 1990) an...

Accumulators are proposed as a new type of high-level iteration construct for imperative languages. Accumulators are user-programmed mechanisms for successively combining a sequence of values into a single result value. The accumulated result can either be a simple numeric value such as the sum of a series or a data structure such as a list. Accumulators naturally complement constructs that all...

This thesis develops the idea of probabilistic arithmetic The aim is to replace arithmetic operations on numbers with arithmetic operations on random variables Speci cally we are interested in numerical methods of calculating convolutions of probability distributions The long term goal is to be able to handle random prob lems such as the determination of the distribution of the roots of random ...
