We propose to minimise the cosmic confusion between Gaussian and non Gaussian theories by investigating the structure in the m's for each multipole of the cosmic radiation temperature anisotropies. We prove that Gaussian theories are (nearly) the only theories which treat all the m's equally. Hence we introduce a set of invariant measures of " m-preference " to be seen as non-Gaussianity indica...

Neutrophils are arguably the most important white blood cell for defense against bacterial and fungal infections. These leukocytes are produced in high numbers on a daily basis in humans and are recruited rapidly to injured/infected tissues. Phagocytosis and subsequent intraphagosomal killing and digestion of microbes have historically been the accepted means by which neutrophils carry out thei...

Through his views on perspectivism and the will to power, Nietzsche indirectly influences many current discourses identity. This article places these themes in broader context of Nietzsche’s thought. Firstly, it is indicated how difficult speak someone’s identity by showing ‘Nietzsches’ appear writings, notebooks letters accounts contemporaries. Such comparative readings, although they may cast...

Research articles generate and disseminate disciplinary knowledge in a specific field of study. They are expected to be objective, faceless, free from expressions emotion. However, linguistic confusion that signal authors’ affective attitude toward the propositional information not uncommon research articles. To determine describe dynamic changes occurred deployment such communicating knowledge...

The present study basically conducted a qualitative-oriented research to identify the articulating and listening problems of eleven AE vowels for Taiwanese eighth graders. It aimed to examine the relationship between production and perception of English vowels. Gender differences were probed under this sound pronunciation and discrimination framework. A vowel articulating test followed by a vow...

Knight et al. (2013a) clarified the identity of Barbus mussullah Sykes, the type species of Hypselobarbus Bleeker, showing it to represent a lineage clearly distinct from Tor Gray (type species Tor hamiltonii Gray (= Cyprinus tor Hamilton)). They showed the two species to be distinguished by a suite of characters, with Hypselobarbus lacking the distinctive median fleshy lobe of the lower lip (p...

Evolution by natural selection depends on the relationship between individual traits and fitness. Variation in individual fitness can result from habitat (territory) quality and individual variation. Individual quality and specialization can have a deep impact on fitness, yet in most studies on territorial species the quality of territory and individuals are confused. We aimed to determine if v...

I should like to respond to Clarke et al. concerning their recent paper entitled “Gender Perception in Arabic and English” which appeared in your journal, Language Learning, vol. 31, no. I , 1981. In this paper, the authors appear to have erred in several directions regarding logically and intuitively inappropriate interpretations of their data and offering an incorrect reading of the conclusio...

Neofusicoccum parvum and N. ribis are closely related species whose identities often have been confused. These fungal plant pathogens were identified recently as the most abundant species of Botryosphaeriaceae (Ascomycetes) isolated from native Syzygium cordatum trees in South Africa. In another study using multiple gene genealogies from five nuclear loci three undescribed cryptic phylogenetic ...

BACKGROUND Although students' transition into medical school is a critical step in their professional journey, orientation has been relatively under-researched, particularly with regard to its intersections with schools' social missions. This paper reports on a study looking at the implicit messages of orientation to the Northern Ontario School of Medicine's undergraduate program. METHODS An ...
