Influence of algal iron content on the assimilation and fate of iron and carbon in a marine copepod
We conducted pulse-chase experiments to study the assimilation and excretion of iron and carbon by the copepod Acartia tonsa fed three algal species cultured under Fe-replete or Fe-depleted conditions. Mean assimilation efficiency of Fe (AEFe) for copepods ranged from 47% to 53% when fed the diatom Thalassiosira oceani...

Heterogeneous telomere defects in patients with severe forms of dyskeratosis congenita
Background: Telomeres represent the tips of linear chromosomes. In human subjects telomere maintenance deficiency leads to dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, accelerated aging, and cancer predisposition. Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome (HH) is a severe v...

DEEP DIMMING OF AN LED-BASED ILLUMINATION DEVICE
An LED based illumination device is dimmed by controlling an average current supplied to the LED based illumination device. The currently supplied to the LED may be supplied by an LED driver that is in communication with a dimming control engine. The dimming control engine may receive an indication of a desired average...

Investigating the onset of multi-ring impact basin formation
Multi-ring basins represent some of the largest, oldest, rarest and, therefore, least understood impact crater structures. Various theories have been put forward to explain their formation; there is currently, however, no consensus. Here, numerical modeling is used to investigate the onset of multi-ring basin formation...

Perception–Action based design for urban accessibility: principles for inclusive design grounded in an understanding of first-person control of locomotion in the urban setting
The project will translate basic research in cognitive science to problems in urban planning and design. It will employ empirical and theoretical methods to deliver a set of design recommendations addressing the question: how can we design urban spaces that are accessible to all? The basic research question is: how do...

The most oligotrophic subtropical zones of the global ocean: similarities and differences in terms of chlorophyll and yellow substance
Abstract. The cores of the subtropical anticyclonic gyres are characterized by their oligotrophic status and minimal chlorophyll concentration, compared to that of the whole ocean. These zones are unambiguously detected by space borne ocean color sensors thanks to their typical spectral reflectance, which is that of ex...

Mixing Properties of Stochastic Quantum Hamiltonians
Random quantum processes play a central role both in the study of fundamental mixing processes in quantum mechanics related to equilibration, thermalisation and fast scrambling by black holes, as well as in quantum process design and quantum information theory. In this work, we present a framework describing the mixing...

Anti-D3-branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler solution with D3-charge dissolved in fluxes give rise, in the probe approximation, to a metastable state. The fully back-reacted smeared solution has singular three-form fluxes in the IR, whose presence suggests a stringy resolution by brane polarization a la Polchins...
