One approach in phylogenomics to infer the tree of life is based on concatenated multiple sequence alignments from many genes. Unfortunately, the resulting so-called supermatrix is usually sparse, that is, not every gene sequence is available for all species in the supermatrix. Due to the missing sequence information a phylogenetic inference, assuming that each gene evolves with its own substit...

Gold mining is closely related to land degradation caused by heavy metals such as lead (Pb), which are non-degradable, non-essential, and immobile. This study aims compare soil levels before after phytoremediation using local plants. Plant species consist of white teak (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) Pulai (Alstonia scholaris L.R.Br.), ganitri (Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb.), pine (Pinus merkusii Jungh), ...

Pedological studies in thick sedimentary sequences are generally limited to the upper few meters. Field investigation of thick (~50 m) sand deposits on an emergent Pleistocene marine terrace in central California showed morphological differences between the solum at the surface and the deep regolith. Based on morphological and geochemical features, four units were identified within the regolith...

Albuquerque and Courtown are two small, uninhabited oceanic atolls, located in the southwestern Caribbean Sea, belonging to the San Andres and Providencia archipelago, Colombia. These atolls have a volcanic basement and are surrounded by deep water. Based on photo-interpretation of geomorphological and ecological features as well as on data collected during field work, the gross morphology, mar...

Fluvial strath terraces provide a record of river incision and the timing of climatic perturbations to the fluvial system. Dating depositional surfaces like terraces that are older than the range of C, however, is difficult. We employ a Ž . cosmogenic radionuclide CRN profile technique that addresses a major problem of CRN dating on such surfaces: nuclide inheritance. By measuring Be and Al pro...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous horns usually develop on a keratinocytic base with the histopathology on a spectrum ranging from benign keratosis through to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Some features of horns are easily identified using dermatoscopy. OBJECTIVE To investigate if specific clinical or dermatoscopy features of horns correlate with the histopathology in the base of the horn. MET...

Title of Thesis: SMALL FLUCTUATIONS IN EPITAXIAL GROWTH VIA CONSERVATIVE NOISE Paul Patrone, Masters Degree, 2012 Thesis directed by: Professor Dionisios Margetis Department of Math We study the combined effect of growth (material deposition from above) and nearest-neighbor entropic and force-dipole interactions in a stochastically perturbed system of N line defects (steps) on a vicinal crystal...
