Astrophysics.

Using the oscillation frequencies of α Cen A recently discovered by Bouchy & Carrier (2001, 2002), the available astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic data, we tried to improve the calibration of the visual binary system α Cen. With the revisited masses of Pour-baix et al. (2002) we do not succeed to obtain a solution satisfying all the seismic observational constraints. Relaxing the const...

Anecdotal , Historical and Critical Commentaries on Genetics

S OMEWHERE in Latin America a single P-element copy found its way into the genome of Drosophila melanogaster from another insect species. Once there, these transposable elements made use of their new hosts’ DNA repair mechanism to increase their copy number while transposing to new genomic positions. Within the span of a few decades they spread worldwide to encompass nearly the entire species. ...

ASTROPHYSICS The NASA Astrophysics Data System : Overview

The NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstract Service has become a key component of astronomical research. It provides bibliographic information daily, or near daily, to a majority of astronomical researchers worldwide. We describe the history of the development of the system and its current status. Urania (Boyce 1996), and the ADS role in the emerging electronic astronomical data environment are ...
