Abstract Tulips ( Tulipa spp.) are one of the most widely appreciated plants worldwide, nevertheless species taxonomy and biogeography often poorly understood. Most wild tulips inhabit mountains Central Asia, a recognised biodiversity hotspot, centre tulip diversity. Despite presence several country-level endemic species, taxa span borders nations. With no globally Red Listed from this region n...

We present the transport unaware link improvement protocol (TULIP), which dramatically improves the performance of TCP over lossy wireless links, without competing with or modifying the transportor network-layer protocols. TULIP is tailored for the half-duplex radio links available with today’s commercial radios and provides a MAC acceleration feature applicable to collision-avoidance MAC proto...

OBJECTIVE In this histological study, the lateral saphenous vein of the goat was treated using a laser fibre to which a tulip-shaped, self-expandable catheter had been fixed to achieve endovenous laser ablation (EVLA). The catheter centres the laser fibre in the vein preventing direct contact with the vein wall. This study aims to establish whether prevention of direct contact between the fibre...

Protein function identification remains a significant problem. Solving this problem at the molecular functional level would allow mechanistic determinant identification-amino acids that distinguish details between functional families within a superfamily. Active site profiling was developed to identify mechanistic determinants. DASP and DASP2 were developed as tools to search sequence databases...

M readers who are familiar with Rembrandt’s masterpiece, “Anatomy lessons of Dr. Tulp” may have overlooked the medical background and contributions of Dr. Nicolaas Tulp. He was an anatomy teacher and practicing physician of repute in Amsterdam, not a figurative character. His Latin name was Nicolaus Petrus. He came to be known as Tulp, because an auction place for tulip bulbs was located in fro...

In this paper we present a parsing framework for extensions of Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG) called TuLiPA (Tübingen Linguistic Parsing Architecture). In particular, besides TAG, the parser can process Tree-Tuple MCTAG with shared nodes (TT-MCTAG), a TAG-extension that has been proposed to deal with scrambling in free word order languages such as German. The central strategy of the parser is su...

This paper describes Tulip, a parallel run-time system used by the pC++ parallel programming language. Tulip has been implemented on a variety of scalable, MPP computers including the IBM SP2, Intel Paragon, HP/Convex SPP, Meiko CS2, SGI Power Challenge, and Cray T3D. Tulip differs from other data-parallel RTS implementations; it is designed to support the operations from object-parallel progra...
