A photo of the climate activist Greta Thunberg in Hambacher Wald ( a Rhineland lignite mining area) aroused a media hype in the German press for the wrong reasons. If Thunberg visited Hambacher Wald in order to protect the forest arguing that we are ”ignoring natural climate solutions” there trees are told to be a “tool we can use to repair our broken climate” the headdress of a person pictured a
Our research group has previously shown that treatment with the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) or amidinoindan-1-one 2´-amidinohydrazone (CGP 48664) inhibited S phase progression before any other cell cycle phase was affected. This study was undertaken to further investigate the role of polyamines in the regulation of S phase progression and DNA synthesis. I hav
In the Brassicaceae plant family, which includes the Arabidopsis and Brassica genera, self-incompatibility (SI) is controlled by genes at the S locus. Using experimental crosses, we studied the pattern of inheritance of S-locus alleles in the wild species Brassica cretica. Four full-sib families were established and unequal segregation of alleles at the SRK SI gene was found in one family. The seg
A measurement of the production of prompt Λ c + baryons in Pb–Pb collisions at s NN =5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC is reported. The Λ c + and Λ‾ c − were reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) via the hadronic decay channel Λ c + →pK S 0 (and charge conjugate) in the transverse momentum and centrality intervals 6
There is a growing shift in environmental management tools from the traditional command and control approach to market mechanisms where environmental goods and services are assigned market values to generate incentives for environmental protection. In November 2007, the Sabah state government announced a joint venture with New Forests Pty. Ltd. to set up a Wildlife Conservation Bank at Malua Fores
This study presents the first measurement of the f1(1285) resonance using the ALICE detector in inelastic proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The resonance is reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|< 0.5) through the hadronic decay channel f1(1285)→KS0K±π∓. Key measurements include the determination of its mass, transverse-momentum integrated yield, and average transverse mome
In the ECG recordings during tilt test, changes in RR series characteristics can be observed. The purpose of the present study is to investigate to what extent these changes can be explained by changes in the atrial input and in the atrioventricular (AV) nodal characteristics induced by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Average RR series characteristics (mean, rmssd and sample entropy) and avera
Formal subdivision of the Cambrian System into four series and ten stages is in progress. The base of Cambrian Stage 3 (provisional), which is conterminous with the base of Cambrian Series 2 (provisional), is expected to be placed at a horizon close to the first appearance of trilobites, which marks the onset of the largest phase of the Cambrian explosion. Conceptually, an ideal boundary position
Patients with biventricular assist devices (BIVAD) are severely critically ill compared with patients who receive left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support alone and portend a significant risk for greater adverse events including pump thrombosis (PT). Current approaches to treat PT are limited to LVAD with variable outcomes depending on the management strategy implemented. Moreover the managem
Aliasing gives a lower bound for the sampling rate in ordinary spectral analysis of a time series. In parametric it appears at first sight that no such limitations are present. In this note we will obtain insight into this paradox by analyzing a simple Gauss-Markov process. We assume that a time series analysis is performed based on N samples of the series at equal spacing h. The result shows that
Using two methods: (1) three-step excitation and (2) single UV photon excitation in an atomic beam with direct observation of the decay of the fluorescence light, we have measured the lifetimes of the Rydberg levels of YbI belonging to the perturbed series 6snp J = 1 levels. The measured values have been interpreted by the multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT).
Representations of concepts from multivariate statistics are studied using multilinear algebra. Applications are given to the analysis of seasonal multivariate time series. The first paper concerns a class of permutation matrices which are representations of permutation operators on tensor spaces. In the second paper, the derivation of moments and cumulants of Hilbert space valued random variabl
Wilms tumor (WT) is characterized by a nonrandom pattern of chromosome aberrations, but the clinical significance of different cytogenetic patterns is unknown. The present study describes the cytogenetic findings and the clinical course in a cohort of 39 children with WT. Samples for short-term culturing and cytogenetic analysis were obtained during a 15-year period. Clonal chromosome aberrations
This paper presents results of analyses by parametric methods of annual means of temperature, precipitation and discharge, and of seasonal maximum precipitation at 17, 28 and 10 Icelandic stations, respectively, for the period 1961-2000. Trends in mean seasonal temperature and precipitation are in broad agreement with results found by other authors using other methods. A positive trend appears in
A novel insertion device for electron storage rings called the MAX-Wiggler has been constructed at MAX-lab. The MAX-Wiggler is a cold bore superconducting wiggler magnet with 47 3.5-T poles and. a period length of 61 mm aimed for the production of X-rays at the 1.5-GeV electron storage ring MAX-II at MAX-lab. The MAX-Wiggler consists of 98 racetrack coils connected in series in the superconducting
