Normalization of case data 2 The bottom right of Figure 1 shows a bar plot of the cumulative sum, for each age, of all 3 laboratory-confirmed pH1N1 in 2009; it does not take the age structure of the population 4 into account. We investigated the potential effects of age structure on the shape of the bar 5 plot. Figure 5 compares the total incidence across age (panel a) with per capita incidence...

The switching behavior of isolated nanoscale nickel and cobalt bars, which were fabricated using electron-beam lithography, was studied as a function of bar length. The bars have a 35 nm thickness, a 100 nm width, and a length varying from 200 nm to 5 mm. Magnetic force microscopy showed that except for the Ni bars with a length equal to or less than 250 nm, all other as-fabricated bars were si...

DAI, Z.-J.; CHEN, J.-Y.; DU, J.-Z., and LI, C.-C., 2008. Seasonal changes of sandbar behavior in Nanwan Beach, South China. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(5), 1209–1216. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Frequent leveling data of beach profiles is collected from Nanwan Beach, which is characterized by a large seasonal variation in wave climate. Variability of the bar crest position ob...

We give a brief description of a new model for non-circular motions in disk galaxy velocity fields, that does not invoke epicycles. We assume non-circular motions to stem from a bar-like or oval distortion to the potential, as could arise from a triaxial halo or a bar in the mass distribution of the baryons. We apply our model to the high-quality CO and Hα kinematics of NGC 2976 presented by [5...

We examine the dynamical effects on disk stars of a “long bar” in the Milky Way by inserting a triaxial rotating bar into an axisymmetric disk+bulge+dark halo potential and integrating 3-D orbits of 10 tracer stars over a period of 5 Gyr. The long bar has been detected via “clump giants” in the IR by López-Corredoira et al. (2007), and is estimated to have semi-major axes of (3.9×0.6×0.1) kpc a...

BACKGROUND Genetic analyses of budding and fission yeast identified >50 proteins that assemble at sites of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in structures called actin patches. These proteins include clathrin, clathrin-interacting proteins, actin binding proteins, and peripheral membrane proteins such as F-BAR proteins. Many questions remain regarding the interactions of these proteins, particularl...

A standard way to explain the connection between ethical claims and motivation is to say that these claims express motivational attitudes. Unless this connection is taken to be merely a matter of contingent psychological regularity, it may seem that there are only two options for understanding it. Either we can treat ethical claims as expressing propositions that entail something about the spea...

A Cu−carborane-based metal−organic framework (MOF), NU-135, which contains a quasi-spherical para-carborane moiety, has been synthesized and characterized. NU-135 exhibits a pore volume of 1.02 cm/g and a gravimetric BET surface area of ca. 2600 m/g, and thus represents the first highly porous carborane-based MOF. As a consequence of the unique geometry of the carborane unit, NU-135 has a very ...
