Is there also a way to scale the branch lengths into time units (similar to what the r8S or pathD8 program does). If for example the divergence time ("cal" in pathD8, see example below) between B and D (e.g. 50 MYA) and the number of sites of the alignment ("seql" in path...
Twenty litres of soil were collected from within a 1m radius of each of the five shrubs, bulked and mixed thoroughly to make up 100L of soil per site in total. All soils were separately sieved through a 4 mm mesh to remove any plant debris and rocks. All equipment were sterilised with...
since there are no cut-off thresholds for the potentially significant estimated differences that would trigger such an additional assessment. That approach will be described in more detail below, in relation to the initial concept of ‘substantial equivalence’ which subsequently became the basis for E...
Before we begin discussing what Ethereum mining is, we must first understand mining as a process means. Mining refers to computationally intensive work that requires a lot of computer processing power and time. In the mining process, the miner is an investor that provides energy, computer space,...
“curfew”. In the early American colonies homes had no real fireplaces so a fire was built in the center of the room. In order to make sure a fire did not get out of control during the night it was required that, by an agreed upon time, all fires would be covered with a clay ...
Another major exception concerns the Echinodermata, the primary subject taxon of this paper. The sequencing of the complete genome of the sea urchinStrongylocentrotus purpuratus[16], has opened the door to many discoveries dependent on having accurate sequence data. Among these is the realization that...
including inverse planning—an optimisation process which begins with specification of the desired dose to the tumour targets and dose limits to critical structures—is required to decide how to alter the intensity of the beam in order to make the treatment most conformal. IMRT can therefore allocat...
For most of my life, nature has been my sanctuary. My job and life keep me hyper-connected to the technological world, like many of us are, but it’s only when I get out into the fresh air that I am able to slow down enough to make some sense of the cacophony in my head. ...
This network recognizes the importance of social relationships, feels compassion towards old, sick and needy patients in their society and delivers help selflessly in order to make their society a better place. Table 5 illustrates how Kerala's Palliative Care, a practical example of frugal ...
Ticks have a unique sensory structure located exclusively on the 1st pairs of legs; the fore-tarsal Haller’s organ, not found in any other animals, presumed to function like the insect antennae in chemosensation but morphologically very different. The mechanism of tick chemoreception is unknown....
