SOFTWARE testing and analysis continue to be areas in which IEEE Transaction on Software Engineering (TSE) receives many submissions. In this issue, Barbara Ryder and Andreas Zeller guest edit a special section of selected papers from ISSTA 2008, the original papers having undergone signifi cant revision, extension, and substantive peer review. I would like to thank Barbara and Andreas for all ...

The HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) gives an unprecedented view of the local large-scale structures in the southern sky. I will review the results from the HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog (BGC, Koribalski et al. 2004) and the first version of the deep catalog (HICAT, Meyer et al. 2004) with particular emphasis on galaxy structures across the Zone of Avoidance. Some previously hardly noticed gala...

The accurate calculation of synchrotron radiation from an undulator is a common problem and numerous codes have been developed that describe the radiation from analytic and measured undulator fields. However, for very long undulator systems there is not a suitable code that can handle the amount of data in a convenient manner and which runs in a practically realisable time limit. The developmen...

Running head: Female choice for male immunocompetence 18 19 2 Disease resistance is not determined by any single immune component. Nevertheless, 1 female choice for individual immune components could produce more disease-resistant 2 offspring. Using a mathematical model, we tested whether female choice for male 3 immune responsiveness was maintained or lost in simulated populations. We divided ...

MIG-10 is a protein known to be involved in axon guidance and neuronal migration in early development in C. elegans. In an effort to better understand the protein's function, this project used the yeast two hybrid system to screen a cDNA library (representing the entire C. elegans genome) for proteins with which MIG-10 interacts. The idea is if we can associate it with proteins of known functio...

Polysaccharides are polymers of carbohydrates with an enormous structural diversity, from long linear repetition of the same monomer to highly branched structures of different sugars. This high structural diversity reflects the functional diversity of these molecules. There are two types of polysaccharides, storage polysaccharides (i.e. glycogen) and structural polysaccharides, which are normal...

Even though parchment has been applied as library and archive substrate for centuries, this material’s structure and degradation patterns are less explored than paper’s ones. In this preliminary work vibrational studies highlighting distinction between parchment components are presented. Advances in conservation methods can in fact be achieved by an improved knowledge of the microscopic and spe...
