This file provides additional information on the data and methods used in Fortunato (2011a, b), and discussion of the results of the fossilization of nodes Proto-Indo-Hittite (PIH) and Proto-Indo-European (PIE) for marriage and residence strategies.

Starless cores represent the initial stage of evolution toward (proto)star formation, and a subset them, known as prestellar cores, with high density (~ 10^6 cm^-3 or higher) being centrally concentrated are expected to be embryos (proto)stars. Determining profile therefore provides an important opportunity gauge conditions star formation. In this work, we perform rigorous modeling estimate pro...

The traditional etymology of the PU *waśke ‘metal, (? copper)’ is great importance for reconstruction Proto-Uralic culture and time disintegration Proto-Uralic. Continuing some older works considering results latest research, this considered as fictitious, breaking up into at least three etymological nests: Finnic-Mordv. *vaśa-kive ‘axe-stone’ (etymology T.-R. Viitso, where *vaśa- denotes ‘axe,...

The RET proto-oncogene has been identified as the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 disease gene. An association between specific RET mutation and disease phenotype has been reported. We present the phenotype-genotype of 12 Greek families with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A) or familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). Seventy members were studied and DNA analysis for RET mut...
