Abstract It is shown that the resurrection axiom and maximality principle may be consistently combined for various iterable forcing classes. The extent to which overlap explored via local principle.

In rare circumstances, scientists have been able to revive dormant propagules from ancestral populations and rear them with their descendants to make inferences about evolutionary responses to environmental change. Although this is a powerful approach to directly assess microevolution, it has previously depended entirely upon fortuitous conditions to preserve ancestral material. We propose a co...

Although staple crops do not survive extended periods of drought, their seeds possess desiccation tolerance (DT), as they survive almost complete dehydration (desiccation) during the late maturation phase of development. Resurrection plants are plant species whose seeds and vegetative tissues are desiccation tolerant. Vegetative DT first arose with the transition from aquatic to terrestrial lif...

The formation of gas giant planets is assumed to be preceded by the emergence of solid cores in the conventional sequential-accretion paradigm. This hypothesis implies that the presence of earth-like planets can be inferred from the detection of gas giants. A similar prediction cannot be made with the gravitational instability (hereafter GI) model which assumes that gas giants (hereafter giants...

The late embryogenesis abundant (LEA)-like protein CDeT11-24 is one of the major desiccation-related phosphoproteins of the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum. In this study, it was shown that CDeT11-24 is mostly intrinsically disordered and protects two different enzymes, citrate synthase and lactate dehydrogenase, against damaging effects caused by desiccation. Lipid-binding assays...

The purpose of this article was to investigate the use deliberative decision-making lessons, such as rank-order format, for evaluating historical events. In lesson, students act an ancient historian by pieces evidence early Christian's claim that Jesus raised bodily from dead. Students evaluated eight separate discussed in scholarship rank-ordering evidences strong weak.
