In recent years, numerous approaches have been utilized for finding the exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. One such method is known as the new extended (G'/G)-expansion method and was proposed by Roshid et al. In this paper, we apply this method and achieve exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs), namely the Benjamin-Ono equation. It is est...

We present a single epoch of high signal-to-noise ratio spectropolarimetry of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2004S taken nine days after maximum light. The flux spectrum is normal, but with the additional presence of high-velocity (HV) line features in both Ca II and Fe II. The object shows continuum polarization at the 0.4% level in the red, a value which appears to be typical of SNe Ia. The co...

The stability problem of the functional equation was conjectured by Ulam and was solved by Hyers in the case of additive mapping. Baker et al. investigated the superstability of the functional equation from a vector space to real numbers. In this paper, we exhibit the superstability of $m$-additive maps on complete non--Archimedean spaces via a fixed point method raised by Diaz and Margolis.

I observed a male Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) attack and kill a nestling of an unidentified passerine in a grassland field in Day County, South Dakota, in June 2000. The killing or removal of nestlings by female cowbirds has been reported by others, but this behavior has not been documented previously in male cowbirds. Received 8 October 2002, accepted 3 March 2003. Female Brown-heade...

The polymorphism in Cepaea was shown to have a Mendelian basis at the end of the 19 C. (Lang, 1904, 1908). It thus became one of the standard early genetic examples. Like most others, however, simple segregation rules do not describe all the complexities of the system (Darbishire, 1905; Stelfox, 1918; Pelseneer, 1920). The current picture is due to extensive breeding by Lamotte (1951, 1954) and...
