This question was posed as a challenge problem during the MEGA-conference. The prize, a large cake, was to be divided among the submitters towards a solution of the problem. This explains the name of this article. It turned out that it is not very easy to say something nontrivial about this problem, so the number of submissions to the problem was very small indeed, one. The prize winner subsequ...

We announce the release of an advanced version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software, which currently contains facilities for building sequence alignments, inferring phylogenetic histories, and conducting molecular evolutionary analysis. In version 6.0, MEGA now enables the inference of timetrees, as it implements the RelTime method for estimating divergence times for ...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can both affect and be transmitted by mega-watt wind turbines. This paper provides a general overview on EMI with respect to mega-watt wind turbines. Possibilities of measuring all types of electromagnetic interference are shown. Electromagnetic fields resulting from a GSM transmitter mounted on a mega-watt wind turbine will be analyzed in detail. This cellula...

In this paper, we consider the use of i* for modelling social networks in the context of mega-urbanization and water resources. In particular, we discuss, mostly by way of example, issues that are special to this domain such as the need to explicitly model nature or a new kind of agent evolution. Another important issue is the usability of i* by scientists from different disciplines to model me...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated enhanced induced DNA damages and apoptosis of a spheroid culture of DU145 prostate cancer cells treated by a combination of radiofrequency hyperthermia (RF HT) with radiation treatment (RT) from an external radiotherapy machine compared to RT alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, DU145 cells were cultured as spheroids until they reached 300 µm...

Classical automated theorem proving of today is based on ingenious search techniques to find a proof for a given theorem in very large search spaces—often in the range of several billion clauses. But in spite of many successful attempts to prove even open mathematical problems automatically, their use in everyday mathematical practice is still limited. The shift from search based methods to mor...

This paper utilizes the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to carry on the analysis and the predictions of the agriculture drought trend in Guangdong Province, trying to provide a reference for predictions and forecasting of the agricultural drought trend. After decomposing the anomaly signals of precipitation and undulating signals of agriculture drought condition, four IMF components were obt...

As it makes the transition from the industrial age to the information age, the Department of Defense, like other government agencies and indeed like the global business community as a whole, is moving aggressively to leverage and capitalize on advances in information technologies. The result is a clear trend away from stand-alone component systems to ones that are richly interconnected and incr...
