The structural and morphological evolution of low dimensional Fe-Ge structures (i.e. 0D/1D) during the reactive deposition of Fe on Ge(001) has been comprehensively studied by using a ultra-high vacuum in-situ transmission electron microscope. The reactive deposition of Fe on Ge(001) lead to the formation of hexagonal Fe13Ge8 islands on the cubic Ge surface at all temperatures studied. It has b...

The small pseudoscorpion family Pseudochiridiidae Chamberlin, 1923 comprises two genera and 12 extant species recorded from Asia (Burma, Christmas Island, Indonesia, India, Nepal, Malaysia, New Guinea, Philippines, Nicobars and Sumba), eastern, central and southern Africa (Chad, D.R. Congo, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania), Madagascar, Seychelles (Aldabra), North America (Florida) and the Caribbe...

As part of an All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory in Boston Harbor Islands national park area, an inventory of carabid beetles on 13 islands was conducted. Intensive sampling on ten of the islands, using an assortment of passive traps and limited hand collecting, resulted in the capture of 6,194 specimens, comprising 128 species. Among these species were seven new state records for Massachusetts (A...

Objectives: The internationally recommended tuberculosis (TB) control strategy, Directly Observed Treatment, Short course (DOTS) was implemented in most Pacific Island countries and territories during the year 2000, with expansion of DOTS into outer islands and rural areas over the past ten years. The objective of this study was to better understand successful strategies and challenges faced in...

A central island is defined as a localized elevated area in corneal topography after excimer laser application for myopic correction. We experienced 15 cases of central islands developed 1 week after LASIK using VISX STAR on corneal topography. The uncorrected visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity were 0.52 +/- 0.22, 0.66 +/- 0.25 in central islands group and 0.69 +/- 0.19, 0.78 +/- 0....

Computer simulations have shown that several classes of population models, including the May host-parasitoid model and the Ginzburg-Taneyhill 'maternal-quality' single species population model, exhibit extremely complicated orbit structures. These structures include islands-around-islands, ad infinitum, with the smaller islands containing stable periodic points of higher period. We identify the...

We report on a parallel implementation of a tool for symbolic regression, ==GP SR, using MPI as the communication paradigm. The implementation relies on a random islands model, (RIM), which combines both the conventional islands model where migration of individuals between islands occurs periodically and niching where no migration takes place. Results on an IBM SP2 are included.
