    No full text
    In this text, Calvin Warren points out the limitations of Afropessimism and Queer Theory in regards to the BlackQueer. Based on the intersection between the position of non-ontology (Blackness) and the experience of unfreedom(Queerness), which Warren names Onticide, the author discusses ethical im/possibilities based on humanistic/human justiceapparatus.n este texto Calvin Warren señala los límites del Afropesimismo y de la Teoría Queer para acercarse al BlackQueer.

Confirmation for Primorsky Krai. <i>Abraxas latifasciata</i> was previously indicated for Southern Primorye (Wehrli, 1939) as <i>Abraxas suspecta japanibia</i> and <i>Abraxas suspecta latifasciata</i>, however, the material was unavailable and this indication required confirmation (Beljaev, 2016). Reliable identification of a number of East Asian <i>Abraxas</i> species is possible only with using genitalia features. It is likely that specimens of <i>A. latifasciata</i> in earlier collections may have been incorrectly identified.</p>Published as part of <i>Makhov, I. A., Lukhtanov, V. A. & Matov, A.

    The titular manuscript invites a description of the background of research on MgB2_2,whose unique electron-phonon coupling strength and record superconducting Tc_c for such a material at ambient pressure was demonstrated by the combined efforts of several groups two decades ago in terms of conventional but highly developed Migdal-Eliashberg theory. This Comment provides some of the basic features of the theoretical understanding of MgB2_2 and draws contrasts with the model of Yu {\it et al.}Comment: 5 pages of text and reference

    Analysis of two genomic variants of orang-utan hepadnavirus and their relationship to other primate hepatitis B-like viruses

    No full text
    We recently described orang-utan hepadnavirus (OuHV) (Warren et al., Journal of Virology, 73, 7860–7865, 1999). Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the various isolates of OuHV can be divided into two genomic variants. Two representatives from each genomic cluster were analysed both molecularly and phylogenetically. Their genome organization was highly similar to other hepadnaviruses of apes and humans. The complete genome sequences of the two OuHV types had an overall 5% sequence difference. Research on 25 seropositive Bornean orang-utans showed that, of the 19 animals infected with one variant, 12 originated from East Kalimantan. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the full-length genomes of various primate hepadnaviruses. The tree topology revealed one cluster of Old World hepadnaviruses that is divided into two subclusters, one consisting of the ape viruses, and the other comprising the human genotypes A–E. These data suggest that the great apes and gibbons have been infected with a common ancestor hepadnavirus

    THE WISDOM OF WARREN E. BUFFETT: THE ESSENCE OF AN INTELLIGENT INVESTOR

    No full text
    This paper, through the investigation of Warren E. Buffett’s philosophies and principles, seeks to identify the essence of investing. The concepts include Mr. Market, Margin of Safety and patience. The principles include a) investor’s understanding the business, b) firm’s enduring competitive advantage, c) management team’s being honest and able people, and d) stock’s being traded at a sensible price. After all, sound investing perhaps does not rely on a stratospheric I.Q. or sophisticated calculations, but may require independent thinking, emotional stability, flexibility, as well as the ability to see investment as an art. As for an average investor, it is advised to invest 10% in short-term government bonds and 90% in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund.TABLE OF CONTENTS DEFENSE CERTIFICATION .............................. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................... ii ABSTRACT ........................................... iii TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................. iv LIST OF FIGURE ..................................... vi PREFACE ............................................ vii INRTODUCTION ....................................... 1 CHAPTER I: BENJAMIN GRAHAM & PHILIP A.

    Proceedings of the Warren E. Kronstad Symposium

    No full text
    On 15-17 of March 2001, CIMMYT held a special symposium in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, Mexico, in memory of Dr. Warren E. Kronstad, Distinguished Professor at Oregon State University, who died on 21 May 2000, after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Dr. Kronstad was a good friend and an esteemed collaborator of the CIMMYT Wheat Program for many years. Starting in the early 1970s, he collaborated with Dr. Norman Borlaug and this author on making crosses between the winter wheat and spring wheat gene pools. He was also a founder and active participant in the CIMMYT/OSU wheat shuttle breeding program that has so successfully bred wheats for different environments all over the world. I met Warren in the 1970s, and from the beginning I was struck by his dedication to wheat breeding research and plain old hard work. One of the top breeders in the USA, Warren was very successful, as evidenced by the impact of his breeding efforts, not only in the USA, but also in developing countries. Nonetheless, I’m convinced that his biggest contribution was the graduate training program he initiated at Oregon State University. More than 80 MSc and PhD students and visiting scientists, many from developing nations, studied at OSU during Dr. Kronstad’s tenure. He was one of a few agricultural scientists in the USA who had a vision of the developing world. He was deeply committed to eliminating hunger through the increase of the food supply and by mentoring young scientists in sound plant breeding. His contributions to improving wheat production not only in the US, but also in the developing world, will be long remembered.vi, 170 page
