Boo b : Not so bright , but just as heavy
We present new results derived from high-resolution optical spectra of the τ Boo system, secured in March-May 2000. The results do not show the same feature reported by Cameron et al (1999) as a candidate reflected-light signature from the planet. Together with earlier results from the 1998 and 1999 seasons, the new data yield a 99.9% upper limit on the opposition planet/star flux ratio ǫ < 3.5...

But now Vanessa Witte, Andreas Baur (University of Erlangen, Germany), and colleagues find that a heterochromatin component can be pulled from the nucleus by both the HIV protein Nef and activated integrins. “This is a really new concept—that chromatin-associa...
متن کاملSoftware Tutors Help Female Students Learn Programming Concepts Just as Well as Male Students
Several studies suggest a significant difference between women and men in their attitude towards programming as well as their attitude towards interacting with computers. So, it is reasonable to question whether women learn computer programming concepts as well as men do using software tutors. In order to answer this question, we analyzed data from the evaluation of three programming tutors use...
متن کاملArea of Origin, But Not Farm or Sex, Predicts Horse Carcass Weight as a Main Effect
The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between cold carcass weights (CCW) for the Catalan Pyrenean horse (Cavall pirinenc català) breed according to different variables: area of origin, farm, gender and age. Linear regression models were applied using a generalized linear model (GLM) procedure for CCW of 397 animals (217 males and 180 females) slaughtered in a commercial abattoir...
