Increased activity of northern vegetation inferred from atmospheric CO2 measurements

Separating population structure from population history: a cladistic analysis of the geographical distribution of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes in the tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum.

Abstract Nonrandom associations of alleles or haplotypes with geographical location can arise from restricted gene flow, historical events (fragmentation, range expansion, colon...

Phylogeographic studies in plants: problems and prospects

Genetic structuring of plant populations is strongly influenced by both common ancestry and current patterns of interpopulation genetic exchange. The interaction of these two fo...

Cryptogenic Cirrhosis: Clinical Characterization and Risk Factors for Underlying Disease

We characterized 70 consecutive patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis to assess major risks for liver disease. Each patient was reevaluated for past alcohol exposure, scored by th...

In transaction cost economics, trust has been treated as redundant or even misleading.This study tested the effects of governance and trust on the risk perceived by agents of fi...

fastDNAml: a tool for construction of phylogenetic trees of DNA sequences using maximum likelihood

We have developed a new tool, called fastDNAml, for constructing phylogenetic trees from DNA sequences. The program can be run on a wide variety of computers ranging from Unix w...

Americans View Their Mental Health, 1957

In 1957, the United States Congress established the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health to evaluate the nation's resources for coping with both the psychological and e...

Numerical Simulation of Reactive Flow

Reactive flows encompass a broad range of physical phenomena, interacting over many different time and space scales. Such flows occur in combustion, chemical lasers, the earth's...

Markov Chains

Markov chains are central to the understanding of random processes. This is not only because they pervade the applications of random processes, but also because one can calculat...

Training Very Deep Networks

Theoretical and empirical evidence indicates that the depth of neural networks is crucial for their success. However, training becomes more difficult as depth increases, and tra...
