We report here the draft genome of Lewinella sp. strain 4G2, isolated from the sea surface microlayer (SML) of a coastal marine inlet. The genome sequence of strain 4G2 should contribute to understanding the lifestyles of bacteria living in the SML.

A hyperbolic curve is an algebraic curve obtained by removing r points from a smooth, proper curve of genus g, where g and r are nonnegative integers such that 2g−2+r > 0. If X is a hyperbolic curve over the field of complex numbers C, then X gives rise in a natural way to a Riemann surface X . As one knows from complex analysis, the most fundamental fact concerning such a Riemann surface (due ...

The temperature data from 3 meteorological stations (Kashi, Ruoqiang, and Hotan) in the South of Tarim River Basin (STRB) during 1964-2011 were analyzed by Mann-Kendall test and correlation analysis. The results from Mann-Kendall test show that the surface temperature (ST), 850 hPa temperature (T850), and 700 hPa temperature (T700) exhibited upward trends, while 300 hPa temperature (T300) revea...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from a self-affine surface is shown to be very large. A theory is developed expressing this SERS in terms of the eigenmodes of a self-affine surface; the theory successfully explains the observed SERS from cold-deposited thin films that are known to have a self-affine structure. Spatial distributions of local fields at the fundamental and Stokes frequenc...
