[1] The possible latitudinal offset of the location of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is an important question, since it has impact on the understanding of various phenomena including the solar dynamo and the modulation of cosmic rays. In the declining phase of the previous, 22nd solar cycle, in 1993, a southward displacement of the HCS by 10 was proposed to explain the north-south asymme...

Transposition of two retroelements (Ulysses and Penelope) mobilized in the course of hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila virilis has been investigated by in situ hybridization on polytene chromosomes in two D. virilis strains of different cytotypes routinely used to get dysgenic progeny. The analysis has been repeatedly performed over the last two decades, and has revealed transpositions of Penelop...

MOTIVATION The detection of structural variations (SVs) in short-range Paired-End (PE) libraries remains challenging because SV breakpoints can involve large dispersed repeated sequences, or carry inherent complexity, hardly resolvable with classical PE sequencing data. In contrast, large insert-size sequencing libraries (Mate-Pair libraries) provide higher physical coverage of the genome and g...

Four solar observing spacecraft, now in operation, have obtained and continue to obtain data during the late phase of solar cycle 22 and hopefully most of cycle 23. The data are available for scientific analysis, practically in an unrestricted manner. A large pool of software suited for the processing and to help programming any data analysis is freely available. An almost random list of result...

ULYSSES is a Python package that calculates the baryon asymmetry produced from leptogenesis in context of type-I seesaw mechanism. In this release, new features include code which solves Boltzmann equations for low-scale leptogenesis; complete thermal applying proper quantum statistics without assuming kinetic equilibrium right-handed neutrinos; and, primordial black hole-induced leptogenesis. ...

This article studies the Turkish-German writer Kemal Kurt’s Ja, sagt Molly (1998) [‘Yes, says Molly’], an ironic meta-fiction to which little critical attention has been paid. Kurt questions the representation of Turks as untutored aspirants to Western culture and challenges the traditional images of exclusion and discrimination. Through a study of his use of pastiche and references to World Li...

Acute episodes of mental illness temporarily destroy the capacity required to give informed consent and often prevent people from realizing they are sick, causing them to refuse intervention. Once a person refuses treatment, the only way to obtain care is as an involuntary patient. Even in the midst of acute episodes, many people do not meet commitment criteria because they are not likely to in...

The in-situ detection of interstellar dust grains in the Solar System by the dust instruments on-board the Ulysses and Galileo spacecraft as well as the recent measurements of hyperbolic radar meteors give information on the properties of the interstellar solid particle population in the solar vicinity. Especially the distribution of grain masses is indicative of growth and destruction mechanis...

Between the launch of the Ulysses spacecraft in 1990 October and the entry of Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) into the atmosphere of Venus in 1992 October, concurrent coverage by Ulysses, PVO, the WATCH experiments aboard the Granat and EURECA spacecraft, and the SIGMA and PHEBUS experiments aboard the Granat spacecraft was obtained for numerous gamma-ray bursts. 15 of them were detected by 3 or mo...
