We conducted a series of stepwise NO3- additions to investigate the response of NO3- uptake to short-term (acute) changes in N concentration in 3 prairie streams. Observed NO3- uptake rates increased with short-term ...

Combining an asymptotic method and computational modelling the authors propose a method for creating materials with the desired electrodynamical characteristics, in particular, with a desired refraction coefficient. The ...

Formulas are derived for solutions of many-body wave scattering problems by small particles in the case of acoustically soft, hard, and impedance particles embedded in an inhomogeneous medium. The limiting case is ...

Many historical datasets contain a large number of zeros, and cannot be modeled directly using a single distribution. Motivated by rain data from a global climate model, we study a semiparametric mixture of binomial ...

During translation initiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an Arg- and Ser-rich segment (RS1 domain) of eIF4G and the Lys-rich segment (K-boxes) of eIF2β bind three common partners, eIF5, eIF1 and mRNA. Here we report that ...

A series of silver(I) coordination compounds with the ligand 2-(4-pyridyl)imidazole 4-PyIm has been synthesized and crystallographically characterized in order to explore the role of counter ion, solvent and ligand charge ...

A validated expeditious method is needed to determine critical speed (CS) and the finite distance that can be covered above CS (D`). We tested the hypothesis that a single all-out 3-min running test would accurately determine ...

A class of infinite-dimensional dissipative dynamical systems is defined for which the slow invariant manifolds can be calculated. Large-time behavior of the evolution of such systems is studied.
