We analyze a high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectrum of the carbon-rich, extremely metal-poor star CS 29498–043, obtained with the Subaru Telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph. We find its iron abundance is extremely low ([Fe/H] = −3.7), placing it among the few stars known with [Fe/H] ≤ −3.5, while Mg and Si are significantly overabundant ([Mg/Fe] = +1.8, and [Si/Fe] = +1.1) compared w...

The site percolation thresholds pc are determined to high precision for eight Archimedean lattices, by the hull-walk gradient-percolation simulation technique, with the results pc = 0.697 043, honeycomb or (6 ), 0.807 904 (3, 12), 0.747 806 (4, 6, 12), 0.729 724 (4, 8), 0.579 498 (3, 6), 0.621 819 (3, 4, 6, 4), 0.550 213 (3, 4), and 0.550 806 (3, 4, 3, 4), and errors of about ±2 × 10. (The rema...

CANADIAN GERIATRICS JOURNAL, VOLUME 19, ISSUE 4, DECEMBER 2016 The editorial board of the Canadian Geriatrics Journal would like to present the last issue of 2016, addressing a wide variety of geriatric and gerontological topics. Dr. David Hogan and Dr. Montero-Odasso(1) call on the Canadian Geriatrics Society to develop a Falls and Fractures Special Interest Group, which is an attempt to syste...

RNA helicases are molecular motors that are involved in virtually all aspects of RNA metabolism. Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A is the prototypical member of the DEAD-box family of RNA helicases. It is thought to use energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind mRNA structure and, in conjunction with other translation factors, it prepares mRNA templates for ribosome recruitment during translatio...
