Financial time series functions are in prevalent use in stock market analysis, and are so important in business applications as to be supported by every major commercial object-relational database management system (ORDBMS). These ORDBMSs require users to provide the cost functions of user-defined functions (UDFs) for their query optimizers. The traditional approach to developing a cost functio...

The divorce rate is a poor indicator of marital instability because many marital disruptions never become divorces. This paper provides the first estimate of the rate of marital disruption in the U.S. in 1860 – 1948. In the long run, the cohort rate of marital disruption increased from about 10% in the mid-1860s to about 30% in the 1940s. Marital disruption rate was similar to the divorce rate ...

Substitution of Cys-634 in the extracellular domain of the Ret tyrosine kinase receptor causes its dimerization and activation of its transforming potential. To gain further insight into the molecular basis leading to Ret activation we purified a mutant protein consisting of the entire ectodomain of the Ret carrying a Cys-634-->Tyr substitution (EC-Ret(C634Y)). The protein is glycosylated, like...

Selected cotton cultivars were evaluated for resistance to the southern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, in greenhouse and field experiments. Cotton cultivars LA 887, Auburn 634, and NemX cotton were highly resistant to three North Carolina populations of root-knot nematode in greenhouse experiments compared to susceptible cultivars. The relative susceptibility of cultivars tested in ...
