Segregation Distorter (SD) is a selfish, coadapted gene complex on chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster that strongly distorts Mendelian transmission; heterozygous SD/SD(+) males sire almost exclusively SD-bearing progeny. Fifty years of genetic, molecular, and theory work have made SD one of the best-characterized meiotic drive systems, but surprisingly the details of its evolutionary origi...

Tides and their dynamic processes in the South China Sea (SCS) are studied by assimilating Topex/Poseidon altimetry data into a barotropic ocean tide model for the eight major constituents (M2 S2 K1 O1 N2 K2 P1 Q1) using a tidal data inversion scheme. High resolution ( 10 km) and large model domain are adopted to better resolve the physical processes involved and to minimize the uncertainty fro...

a rare case of non-puerperal uterine inversion caused by a large fundal leiomyoma in a 39-year nulliparous, infertile woman resulting in intractable hemorrhage was reported after a myomectomy. attempts to reduce the inversion vaginally by transecting the anterior and posterior cervix were unsuccessful and a laparotomy was performed. the inversion was not successfully corrected and hysterectomy ...

This study uses the observed vertical displacements of Global Positioning System (GPS) time series obtained from the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) with careful pre- and post-processing to estimate the seasonal crustal deformation in response to the hydrological loading in lower three-rivers headwater region of southwest China, followed by inferring the annual EWH change...

To improve the prediction of thin reservoirs with special geophysical responses, a geostatistical inversion technique is proposed based on an in-depth analysis theory inversion. This Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, to which we added contents facies-constrained. The feasibility and reliability results are demonstrated by sand bodies in braided river channel bars Xiazijie Oilfield Junggar Bas...

The aerodynamic roughness is one of the major parameters in describing the turbulent exchange process between terrestrial and atmosphere. Remote Sensing is recognized as an effective way to inverse this parameter at the regional scale. However, in the long time the inversion method is either dependent on the lookup table for different land covers or the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (N...

High-resolution magnetotelluric and gravity data have been collected over the Kiejo-Mbaka geothermal field, located along NW–SE trending Mabka fault, in Karonga Rift basin (East Africa System). Such resolution allowed to reconstruct field structure with unprecedented detail. Resistivity modelling has obtained by three-dimensional finite-differences inversion of MT data, while density accomplish...

The mountainous, glaciated island of South Georgia is the crest one most isolated fragments continental crust on Earth. It located approximately 1700 km east southern termination Andean Cordillera America. primarily composed Lower Cretaceous turbidites , infill a marginal basin floored by stretched and ophiolitic crust. Remnants volcanic arc are preserved offshore islands to southwest. Pacific ...

<p>Research has been conducted in the Palembang and surroundings areas using gravity data with aim of knowing basin structure that hydrocarbon potential based on 2D 3D modeling. The is one regions which characterized by several Sub-Basins namely South Jambi Sub-Basin, North West Sub-Basin. study area a Complete Bouguer Anomaly value (CBA) between +21 mGal to +55 mGal. Based modeling, rock...
