A text can be plagiarised in different ways. The text may be copied and pasted word by word, parts of the text may be changed, or the whole text may be summarised into one or two lines. Different kinds of plagiarism require different strategies to detect them. But rarely do we know beforehand what type of plagiarism we are dealing with. In this paper we present a system that can detect verbatim...

The article is organised as follows. In the second section, the motivation of this article is discussed. In Section 3, the technical details of the experiment conducted by Marconi in the year 1901, where he claimed to receive trans-atlantic waves on a radio for the first time are given. Next, Section 4 discusses the controversy surrounding the experiment and provides substantial evidence that t...

The notorious ~60° bend separating the Hawaiian and Emperor chains marked a prominent change in the motion of the Pacific plate at ~47 Ma (million years ago), but the origin of that change remains an outstanding controversy that bears on the nature of major plate reorganizations. Lesser known but equally significant is a conundrum posed by the pre-bend (~80 to 47 Ma) motion of the Pacific plate...

Morphological features observed in both swath bathymetry and seismic reflection data are not unique, which introduces uncertainty as to their origin. The origin of features observed in the Humboldt Slide has generated much controversy because the same features have been interpreted as a submarine failure deposit versus current-controlled sediment waves. It is important to resolve this controver...

Advances in genetics and pathology have supported the idea of a continuum between frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and motor neurone disease (MND), which is strengthened by the discovery of the trans-activating responsive (Tar) sequence DNA binding protein (TDP-43) as a key component in the underlying pathology of FTD, FTD-MND and sporadic and familial MND patients. MND is a multisystem disorder a...

Bees are essential pollinators for many flowering plants, including agriculturally important crops such as apple. As geographic ranges of bees or their host plants change as a result of human activities, we need to identify pathogens that could be transmitted among newly sympatric species to evaluate and anticipate their effects on bee communities. We used PCR screening and DNA sequencing to ev...

The production and use of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was recently prohibited/restricted by the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs), but environmental data are few and of varying quality. We here present the first extensive dataset of the continent-wide (Eurasia and Canada) occurrence of PCP and its methylation product pentachloroanisole (PCA) in the environment, specifical...

We prove that the crossing number of C4 X C4 is 8.

The future development and use of agricultural biotechnology has been challenged by two preliminary studies indicating potential risk to monarch butter ̄y populations by pollen from corn engineered to express proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis. Likewise, these studies have also challenged the way in which science should be performed, published in scienti®c journals and communicated to the publ...

for the absence of a reduction in mortality in the plco trial and in comparison with the difference seen in the erspc trial. The truth of the matter is the psa test should not be used at all in screening for prostate cancer in the manner it has heretofore been used. Prostate-specific antigen, discovered in 1970 5,6 , is a normal component of the prostate. It is not cancer-specific. Rather, it i...
