In the modern ocean, U reduction and incorporation into anoxic sediments imparts a large isotopic fractionation of approximately +0.6‰ that shifts seawater δ 238 value ( U/ 235 U, expressed as per mil deviation relative to CRM-112a) continental runoff. Given long residence time in oceans (∼400 kyr), composition carbonates (taken proxy for seawater) reflects global balance between other sinks. T...

Cet essai s’intéresse aux mesures de fossiles et marqueurs du temps géologique dans Moby-Dick. Il entend ainsi complexifier le roman l’histoire des corps ce qu’il en reste. Les d’Ismaël ne sont pas toujours exactes ou suffisantes, il n’est à « quelques pouces » près. Je montre que telles ellipses autour la matérialité quantifiable l’idéalité ontologique nous poussent imaginer nouvelles position...

forest reserves are one of the most important approaches in ecosystem management in iran. in order to determine the effects of reserve management on plants diversity (woody plants and ground flora) in three zones (core zone, buffer zone, and transmission zone of chamhesar pear forest reserve), we mapped land form units. then 18 main sampling units (20×50=1000 m2) distributed randomly were chose...

Genetic and fossil data often lack the spatial and temporal precision for tracing the recent biogeographic history of species. Data with finer resolution are needed for studying distributional changes during modern human history. Here, I show that printed wormholes in rare books and artwork are trace fossils of wood-boring species with unusually accurate locations and dates. Analyses of wormhol...

The study of record statistics of correlated series in physics, such as random walks, is gaining momentum, and several analytical results have been obtained in the past few years. In this work, we study the record statistics of correlated empirical data for which random walk models have relevance. We obtain results for the records statistics of select stock market data and the geometric random ...

One day, you will discover a new adventure and knowledge by spending more money. But when? Do you think that you need to obtain those all requirements when having much money? Why don't you try to get something simple at first? That's something that will lead you to know more about the world, adventure, some places, history, entertainment, and more? It is your own time to continue reading habit....

an electronic health record system (EHR) for years but figured that it would be too costly and disruptive to your practice to actually buy one. You suspected that it would slow you down and force you to interact more with a computer than with the patient in front of you. You assumed that EHRs made sense only for technophile types who didn’t mind typing or fiddling with programs, and you were ri...

Moving from data to dashboard in a single program, this paper shows how Base SAS® and SAS/STAT® software can be used with the power of PROC GKPI to go from raw data to meaningful statistical summaries of benchmarked performance. Benchmarking is a common process by which organizations measure performance against group norms, past performance, or expected performance. For example, a school might ...
