Transformation of intact yeast cells treated with alkali cations
Intact yeast cells treated with alkali cations took up plasmid DNA. Li+, Cs+, Rb+, K+, and Na+ were effective in inducing competence. Conditions for the transformation of Saccha...

The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian paradigm: a critique of the adaptationist programme
An adaptationist programme has dominated evolutionary thought in England and the United States during the past 40 years. It is based on faith in the power of natural selection a...
Zener Model Description of Ferromagnetism in Zinc-Blende Magnetic Semiconductors
Ferromagnetism in manganese compound semiconductors not only opens prospects for tailoring magnetic and spin-related phenomena in semiconductors with a precision specific to III...
Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy
In this work the distinguished physical chemist and philosopher, Michael Polanyi, demonstrates that the scientist's personal participation in his knowledge, in both its discover...
The Electrical Resistivity Log as an Aid in Determining Some Reservoir Characteristics
The usefulness of the electrical resistivity log in determining reservoircharacteristics is governed largely by:the accuracy with which the trueresistivity of the formation can ...
Self-organized criticality: An explanation of the 1/<i>f</i>noise
We show that dynamical systems with spatial degrees of freedom naturally evolve into a self-organized critical point. Flicker noise, or 1/f noise, can be identified with the dyn...
Highly Parallel Genome-wide Expression Profiling of Individual Cells Using Nanoliter Droplets
Cells, the basic units of biological structure and function, vary broadly in type and state. Single-cell genomics can characterize cell identity and function, but limitations of...
The Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12
The 4,639,221–base pair sequence of Escherichia coli K-12 is presented. Of 4288 protein-coding genes annotated, 38 percent have no attributed function. Comparison with five othe...
Deep Learning Face Attributes in the Wild
Predicting face attributes in the wild is challenging due to complex face variations. We propose a novel deep learning framework for attribute prediction in the wild. It cascade...
Natural evaporation from open water, bare soil and grass
Two theoretical approaches to evaporation from saturated surfaces are outlined, the first being on an aerodynamic basis in which evaporation is regarded as due to turbulent tran...
Educational Research: An Introduction
I. INTRODUCTION. 1. The Nature of Educational Research II. PLANNING A RESEARCH STUDY. 2. The Research Process: From Proposal to Final Report 3. Ethics and Site Relations 4. Revi...
Review of Particle Physics
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,062 new measurements from 721 papers, we list, evaluate, and average meas...
