We present new VLA C-configuration H i imaging of the Lyα-emitting starburst galaxies Tol 1924−416 and IRAS08339+6517. The effective resolution probes neutral gas structures larger than 4.7 kpc in Tol 1924−416, and larger than 8.1 kpc in IRAS08339+6517. Both systems are revealed to be tidally interacting: Tol 1924−416 with ESO338−IG04B (6.6 = 72 kpc minimum separation), and IRAS08339+6517 with ...

The relationship between executive function and comorbid diagnoses in ADHD children is examined. One hundred six children between 7 and 15 years of age are assessed using the Tower of London (TOL), a test of executive function, and the Kiddie Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Present and Lifetime Version, a diagnostic interview. All children met the diagnostic criteria for ADHD...

Locking is a popular deflation technique followed by many eigensolvers, where a converged eigenvector is frozen and removed from the iteration search space. Other deflation techniques that do not modify the matrix have less favorable numerical properties, so the alternative to locking is not to perform deflation at all. Without deflation, which we refer to as non-locking, converged eigenvectors...

The tree of life (ToL) is used variously as metaphor, model, and research tool to explore life’s evolution and genealogical relationships. It has broad appeal for multiple scientific communities and the public as a descriptive term covering life’s diversity. However, as biologists identify more entities and events to describe—including species, organisms, cells, genomes, gene families, extra-ch...

The upper operon of the TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida encodes a set of enzymes involved in the conversion of toluene and xylenes to their carboxylic acid derivatives. The last gene of the upper operon, xylN, encodes a 465-amino-acid polypeptide which exhibits significant sequence similarity to FadL, an outer membrane protein involved in fatty acid transport in Escherichia coli. To anal...

to evaluate the agronomic characteristics in three brassica species (rape, indian mustard, and turnip) and to determine the best stress tolerance indices, 16 brassica cultivars were studied under controlled conditions in -0.6 mpa of stress and as well under field (either stressed or irrigated) conditions at the dryland agricultural research station, kermanshah during 2004-05. the results showed...

Discourses can be stronger than facts and, therefore, harder to dismantle. For example, the extinction of Selk’nam is a fallacy that has remained for more century since it was decreed by scientific community itself, thus making their descendants invisible. Combining this invisibility with peatlands - original habitat project seeks dismantle these discourses reusing and resignifying same ninet...

Abstract We experimentally, numerically and theoretically study the optimal mean time needed by a Brownian particle, freely diffusing either in one or two dimensions, to reach, within tolerance radius R tol , target at distance L from an initial position presence of resetting. The reset is Gaussian distributed with width ? . derived tested resetting protocols, periodic random (Poissonian) times...

In August 2011, a week-long NSF-sponsored workshop focusing on the Tree of Life (ToL) took place in Lake Placid, New York. This workshop, called AVAToL (Assembling Visualizing, and Analyzing the Tree of Life), was the first application of NSF's Ideas Lab concept to systematics. In this article we outline the history and motivation for the Ideas Lab approach and its application to the ToL, expla...

SAL-TOL in vivo recombinant plasmid pKF439 was characterized in a strain from a mixed culture of bacteria harboring various degradative plasmids. Analysis of the gene organization of pKF439 revealed that the 57-kilobase TOL fragment, including the 40-kilobase TOL metabolic region, was inserted into the complete SAL replicon at the position of SmaI-C within XhoI-B of SAL. The molecular size of p...
