Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest that has been documented to both suppress cancer and promote aging. Although not well understood, extensive nuclear changes, including the remodeling of chromatin, take place as cells become senescent. In this issue, Ivanov et al. (2013. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/jcb.201212110) report that chromatin fragments are released fr...

In this note, we study how the depths of multiplier ideals behave under restriction. We also study possible values of the depths of multiplier ideals in the filtrations induced from maximal ideal sheaves. We then use it to give a sufficient condition for the integral closedness of the product of a multiplier ideal and a power of maximal ideal sheaf in the spirit of Huneke.

We present short and elementary proofs of two theorems of Huckaba and Marley, while generalizing them at the same time to the case of a module. The theorems concern a characterization of the depth of the associated graded ring of a Cohen-Macaulay module, with respect to a Hilbert filtration, in terms of the Hilbert coefficient e1. As an application, we derive bounds on the higher Hilbert coeffi...

We describe a novel method for coping with ungrammatical input based on the use of chart-like data structures, which permit anytime processing. Priority is given to deep syntactic analysis. Should this fail, the best partial analyses are selected, according to a shortest-paths algorithm, and assembled in a robust processing phase. The method has been applied in a speech translation project with...

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a large euphausiid, widely distributed within the Southern Ocean [1], and a key species in the Antarctic food web [2]. The Discovery Investigations in the early 20(th) century, coupled with subsequent work with both nets and echosounders, indicated that the bulk of the population of postlarval krill is typically confined to the top 150 m of the water colum...

This trawl survey was carried out during 2013 for the stock assessment of families Haemulids, Nemipterids and Ariids in the Oman Sea. Sampling was carried out at five different stratum and depths. The highest value of CPUA of Haemulidae was estimated for Pomadasys stridens in “B” stratum (885.78 kg nm-2), for Pomadasys kaakan at depths of 10-20 m  (330.35 kg nm-2), and for Nemipteridae it was e...

Many physical and chemical processes control the extent of Fe(III) oxyhydroxide reduction by dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacteria. The surface precipitation of secondary Fe minerals on Fe(III) oxyhydroxides limits the extent of microbial Fe(III) reduction, but this phenomenon has not yet been observed in nature. This paper reports the observation of secondary Fe-mineral (goethite) encrustati...

Danielson et al. (2016) use calcium imaging in mice performing a treadmill task to reveal differences in space-coding dynamics between deep and superficial sublayers of hippocampal CA1, suggesting how the hippocampus might encode both stable and dynamic information simultaneously.
