Aphrodite and the Colonization of Locri Epizephyrii

The Greek colonial foundations along the Ionian Sea coast of southern Italy may generally be divided into Achaian and non-Achaian cities (fig. 1). Of the Achaian cities, Sybaris and Croton were founded first, towards the end of the 8 century BC, followed by Caulonia to the south and Metapontum to the north. These latter cities were settled by Croton and Sybaris in order to create a buffer with ...

A taste of APHRODITE: an Architecture for False Positive Reduction

This work addresses the problems of automated response systems in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), which is challenging because the topology of these networks are dynamic and the fully distributed cooperation among nodes makes not only the false positives of intrusion alarms high but also complicates the response analysis. We present a cooperative, distributed and automated response mo...

Functional Characterization of Phalaenopsis aphrodite Flowering Genes PaFT1 and PaFD

We show that the key flowering regulators encoded by Phalaenopsis aphrodite FLOWERING LOCUS T1 (PaFT1) and PaFD share high sequence homologies to these from long-day flowering Arabidopsis and short-day flowering rice. Interestingly, PaFT1 is specifically up-regulated during flowering inductive cooling treatment but is not subjected to control by photoperiod in P. aphrodite. Phloem or shoot apex...

Bilateral Topographic Symmetry Patterns Across Aphrodite Terra, Venus

Western Aphrodite Terra, Venus, is characterized by a series of parallel linear structural discontinuities 2000-4000 km in length and 100-200 km wide, which strike at high angles to the general topographic trend of the Aphrodite Terra highlands. The broad characteristics of the cross-strike discontinuities (CSDs) are similar to both strike-slip fault zones and terrestrial oceanic fracture zones...
