The Wnt signaling pathway plays a conserved role during animal development in transcriptional regulation of distinct targets in different developmental contexts but it remains unclear whether quantitative differences in the nuclear localization of effector proteins TCF and β-catenin contribute to context-specific regulation. We investigated this question in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos by qua...

Two new species of the caridean family Alpheidae are described from distant Indo-Pacific localities: Automate hayashii sp. nov. from Hakodate Bay, southern Hokkaido, Japan, and Bermudacaris australiensis sp. nov. from the North-West Shelf off Western Australia. Automate hayashii appears closest to the poorly known A. salomoni Coutière, 1908. Bermudacaris australiensis sp. nov., the second speci...

Abstract. The recent experimental data obtained by the OBELIX group on total p̄p annihilation cross section are analysed; the low energy spin averaged parameters of the p̄p scattering amplitude (the imaginary parts of the S-wave scattering length and P-wave scattering volume) are extracted from the data. Their values are found to be equal to Imasc = −0.69±0.01(stat)±0.03(sys) fm, ImAsc = −0.76±0....

The ν̄e− e− elastic scattering cross-section was measured with a CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal detector array with a total mass of 187 kg at the Kuo-Sheng Nuclear Power Station. The detectors were exposed to a reactor ν̄e flux of 6.4×1012 cm−2s−1 originated from a core with 2.9 GW thermal power. The physics motivations, conceptual design, detector hardware, data analysis and background understand...

In this paper, off-the-shelf algorithms f o r force/torque control are used in the context of mobile manipulation (i.e. coordinated mot ion of a mobile robot base and the a r m mounted o n top of it). In particular, the task of opening a door is studied. To make the solution robust, as f e w assumptions as possible are made. B y using relaxation of forces as the basic level of control, more com...
