Heavy-Element Dispersion In The Metal-Poor Globular Cluster M92
(2011-07)
Dispersion among the light elements is common in globular clusters (GCs), while dispersion among heavier elements is less common. We present detection of r-process dispersion relative to Fe in 19 red giants of the metal-poor ...
The Gould's Belt Very Large Array Survey. II. The Serpens Region
(2015-05)
We present deep (similar to 17 mu Jy) radio continuum observations of the Serpens molecular cloud, the Serpens south cluster, and the W40 region obtained using the Very Large Array in its A configuration. We detect a total ...
News and the Overloaded Consumer: Factors Influencing Information Overload Among News Consumers
(2012-11)
News producers continue to increase their volume of production and delivery platforms in an effort to reach and maintain news consumers. However, consumers may not necessarily find more news desirable. Previous studies ...
On the Half-Cauchy Prior for a Global Scale Parameter
(2012)
This paper argues that the half-Cauchy distribution should replace the inverse-Gamma distribution as a default prior for a top-level scale parameter in Bayesian hierarchical models, at least for cases where a proper prior ...
Evolutionary Signatures In The Formation Of Low-Mass Protostars. II. Toward Reconciling Models And Observations
(2010-02)
A long-standing problem in low-mass star formation is the "luminosity problem," whereby protostars are underluminous compared to the accretion luminosity expected both from theoretical collapse calculations and arguments ...
A condition-specific codon optimization approach for improved heterologous gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(BMC System Biology, 2014-03-17)
Background: Heterologous gene expression is an important tool for synthetic biology that enables metabolic engineering and the production of non-natural biologics in a variety of host organisms. The translational efficiency ...
The Physics of Crystallization from Globular Cluster White Dwarf Stars in NGC 6397
(2009-03)
We explore the physics of crystallization in the deep interiors of white dwarf (WD) stars using the color-magnitude diagram and luminosity function constructed from proper- motion cleaned Hubble Space Telescope photometry ...
Table of Compositions with Rising Lines
(2014-04-04)
A table that gathers more than 900 examples of musical compositions with cadences that use ascending melodic gestures.
Substantial deletion overlap among divergent Arabidopsis genomes revealed by intersection of short reads and tiling arrays
(Genome Biology, 2010-01-12)
Identification of small polymorphisms from next generation sequencing short read data is relatively easy, but detection of larger deletions is less straightforward. Here, we analyzed four divergent Arabidopsis accessions ...
