The concept of quasicrystals was first introduced twenty-eight years ago and, since then, over a hundred types have been discovered in the laboratory under precisely controlled physical conditions designed to avoid crystallization. Yet the original theory suggested that quasicrystals can potentially be as robust and stable as crystals, perhaps even forming naturally. These considerations motiva...

new locality data are given for eight species of geotrupidae and 65 species and sub-species of scarabaeidae dung beetles from iran. the species onthophagus (palaeonthophagus) anatolicus petrovitz, 1962, and onitis alexis ssp. septentrionalis balthasar, 1942, are recorded for the first time from iran.

Statistical business process is variously designed and implemented in different organizations. This makes it difficult to exchange the knowledge, benefit from the good practices and the cooperation between national and international organizations. In order to solve this problem and help statistical organizations discuss developing statistical metadata systems, General Statistical Business Proce...

The production of the strange and double-strange baryon resonances ((1385) ± , (1530) 0) has been measured at mid-rapidity (|y|< 0.5) in proton–proton collisions at √ s = 7 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. Transverse momentum spectra for inelastic collisions are compared to QCD-inspired models, which in general underpre-dict the data. A search for the φ(1860) pentaquark, decaying in the ...

During the liulf year ending January 31, 1911, there have been two groups of boys in a special class in Girard College, one group known as the "Retarded Class," the other as the "Delinquent Class." There were twenty-four boys in the Retarded Class and twenty-eight in the Delinquent Class. Retarded boys are those who have remained unduly long in a grade without promotion, the repeating having be...
