Hazelnut, a very important cash crop in Turkey, is frequently colonized by bark and ambrosia beetle species (Scolytinae). Some scolytine species may cause economic damage while other species do not; therefore, proper identification is important in orchard management. Extensive sampling demonstrated that the most common pest species in Turkey's hazelnut orchards are Anisandrus dispar, Xylosandru...

Training has been shown to improve American English speakers’ perception and production of the Spanish /ɾ, r, d/ contrast; however, it is unclear whether successfully trained contrasts are encoded in the lexicon. This study investigates whether learners of Spanish process the /ɾ, r, d/ contrast differently than native speakers and whether training affects processing. Using a cross-modal priming...

We show that every isoperimetric set in R with density is bounded if the density is continuous and bounded above and below. This improves the previously known boundedness results, which basically needed a Lipschitz assumption; on the other hand, the present assumption is sharp, as we show with an explicit example. To obtain our result, we observe that the main tool which is often used, namely a...

HERE have been several recent studies of the relationship between the heterozygosity of plant material and the magnitude of some quantitative character, usually yield or stability over a range of environments (YERMANOS and ALLARD 1961; FINLAY 1963; ROWE and ANDREW 1964). In each of these studies, single crosses and their derivatives have been used as the experimental material so that estimation...

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a rare non-melanoma skin cancer that most commonly presents in the face. This malignancy is difficult to differentiate from metastatic mucinous carcinoma with a visceral source. Thus, PCMC is a diagnosis of exclusion, after internal malignancy has been ruled out. Given its rarity, there is currently a paucity of sound evidence behind its diagnosis ...

Predictions of a modified anisotropic Biot-Allard theory are compared with measurements of pulses centered on 100 kHz and 1 MHz transmitted through water-saturated stereo-lithographical bone replicas. The replicas are 13 times larger than the original bone samples. Despite the expected effects of scattering, which is neglected in the theory, at 100 kHz the predicted and measured transmitted wav...

This paper launches an open access DNA barcoding project "AUSBS" under the Barcoding of Life Datasystems (BOLD). The aims of the project are to help scientists who lack the necessary morphological knowledge to identify known species using molecular markers, to aid native bee specialists with the recognition of species groups that morphologically are difficult to define, and, eventually, to assi...

Although the capability of smartphones has increased manifold over the past decade, the battery density has barely doubled. Smartphones now have multi-core processors, a high-resolution display, several sensors, and a faster mobile interface – all of which quickly drain the battery, while the battery capacity is limited. In this talk I will present one approach to improve battery lifetime: offl...
