Horizontal transfer - imperative mission of acellular life forms, Acytota
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acytota is a kingdom of life covering satellites, plasmids, transposable elements, viroids and viruses, all outside the conventional tree of life but satisfying most life definitions. This review focuses on some aspects of Acytota, their "genomes" and life styles, the dominance of transposable elements and their evolutionary influence on other life forms in order to vindicate the Acytota as a life kingdom no more polyphyletic than other kingdoms and its members no more parasitic than other life forms.

End-to-End ARQ: Transport-Layer Reliability for Airborne Telemetry Networks
Due to the mission-critical nature of command-and-control traffic in the telemetry environment, it is imperative that reliable transfer be supported. The AeroTP disruption-tolerant transport protocol is intended for this environment. The mechanism for reliable transfer is ARQ with end-to-end acknowledgments. This has significant performance limitations resulting from the highly-dynamic nature o...
متن کاملOn the natural convective heat transfer from a cold horizontal cylinder over an adiabatic surface
A steady two-dimensional laminar free convection heat transfer from a cold horizontal isothermal cylinder located above an adiabatic floor is studied both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental measurements the effects of cylinder distance from horizontal floor to its diameter (L/D) on heat transfer coefficient is studied for Rayleigh numbers of 3×105 and 6×105. Computations are ma...
متن کاملA resolution comparison of horizontal and vertical magnetic transfer functions
The main goal of the present study is to identify characteristics of the inter-station horizontal magnetic responses and the vertical magnetic data, as two types of magnetotelluric transfer functions, in the modeling procedure. Through consideration of model responses and two-dimensional inversion of synthetic data, sensitivity of the data components in detecting different geophysical structure...
متن کاملBinomics - Where Metagenomics meets the Binary World
Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation studies have until now failed to model the symbiotic evaluation methods and the extensive amounts of horizontal gene transfer that are starting to be recognized in recent Metagenomic approaches to understanding microbial populations. Examples can be seen, in Learning Classifier Systems, and the SANE algorithm, of symbiotic evaluations; the Microbial ...
متن کاملHeat transfer enhancement due to air bubble injection into a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger
If an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. Air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. This mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. Howeve...
