    Internal tides in the Northern Gulf of California

    No full text
    The characteristics of the internal tide in the Northern Gulf of California are described using data from two moored arrays of temperature and current sensors, one for summer and one for winter, located between Angel de la Guarda Island and the mainland. From the summer six-sensor mooring it was found that: (1) the current fluctuations are dominated by the semidiurnal frequency band, while the quarterdiurnal frequency dominated the temperature fluctuations. (2) The baroclinic semidiurnal horizontal current fluctuations are aligned with the gulf axis, and have amplitudes of 10-15 cm s-1; the vertical displacements reached 4 m in this frequency band. (3) The vertical modal structure for the temperature and velocity oscillations was dominated by the first and third modes. (4) The energy of the semidiurnal internal tide is 45% of that of the barotropic tide. (5) Vertical wave number spectra showed slightly asymmetric peaks in the high wave number components, indicating that their downflowing energy is larger than that flowing upward. From the winter two-sensor mooring, it was found that the vertical oscillations were mainly semidiurnal, with root mean square amplitudes of 7 m

    A Phylogenetic Analysis Of Molecular And Morphological Data Reveals A Paraphyletic Poecilanthe (leguminosae, Papilionoideae)

    Separate and combined Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses of the papilionoid legume genus Poecilanthe sensu lato (Leguminosae) and other Genistoid genera were performed using molecular (nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast matK) and morphological data. The data are in excellent agreement that Poecilanthe is paraphyletic with respect to other genera of the tribe Brongniartieae. Each of the three independent lineages of Poecilanthe sensu lato combines a morphological, geographical, and ecological distinction. They will be ranked at the genus level and Poecilanthe sensu stricto is recircumscribed to encompass the extra-Amazonian species that occur in highly seasonal dry forests.39411421149Arroyo, M.T.K., The systematics of the legume genus harpalyce (leguminosae: Lotoideae (1976) Memoirs of the New York Botanical Garden, 26, pp. 1-80Bailey, C.D., Carr, T.G., Harris, S.A., Hughes, C.E., Characterization of angiosperm nrdna polymorphism, paralogy, and pseudogenes (2003) Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 29, pp. 435-455Bentham, G., Synopsis of dalbergieae, a tribe of leguminosae (1860) Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society.

    TIPE KEPRIBADIAN TOKOH UTAMA PADA NOVEL “INTROVER” KARYA M.F. HAZIM

    No full text
    The author tries to analyze the personality of the main characters using the study of literary psychology, whether the main character is more melancholic or pblegmatic. M.F. Hazim in his novel "Introver" tells the story of the world intover. Reading it, we are invited to explore in the mind and soul of an introver who is always nervous, restless, and upset; also the inner conflict that torments him, and how he finds "friends" to fill his loneliness and make his life more meaningful. The author wants to know more clearly what exactly the lives of introverts are in their daily lives. This research is directed to one main problem, namely "What is the personality type of the main character introver in the" Introver "novel by M.F. Hazim ". This research uses descriptive qualitative method with heuristic and hermeneutic reading techniques in order to understand and reveal "something" contained in literary works. The results of the research that have been carried out are in accordance with the research hypothesis, namely the main character Nawawi has an introvert personality type in the novel "Introver" by M.F. Hajim. Researchers found 42 quotes stating that Nawawi has an introverted personality type. Of the 42 quotes that have been found, 28 quotes state that Nawawi has a melancholic personality type and 14 quotes state that Nawawi has a phlegmatic personality type

    Postreplication repair in mammalian cells after ultraviolet irradiation: a model

    No full text
    A model is presented for bypass of ultraviolet-induced damage in DNA during replication. The overall process is initiated by the introduction of a single-strand break into parental DNA near the point of arrest of synthesis, followed by a transient crossing-over step similar to that envisaged in genetic recombination. The mechanism proposed provides an alternative explanation to existing models and is entirely consistent with available data on postreplication repair in mammalian cells. In addition the model explains the low level of recombination repair observed in mammalian cells

    Beyond Lesson Studies and Design Experiments: Using theoretical tools in practice and finding out how they work

    No full text
    This paper aims to illustrate how fruitful insights into the link between school teaching practice and student learning outcomes can be theoretically grounded by the variation theory from the field of phenomenography; and from this framework demonstrate how a 'pedagogy of awareness' can be implemented in the classroom. In this study, five teachers and 162 students at Primary Four level of school education in Hong Kong participated and the practice of the 'learning study' was adopted. By comparing the results of pre- and posttests, a significant gain was observed in the students learning outcomes.

    Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method

    No full text
    In this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
