Anyone desperate for solutions will wholeheartedly accept those unsupported claims.1 In fact, many software industry decisionmakers find themselves trapped in huge amounts of legacy code, in dire need of modification. At the same time, software eng...

Abstract—The behaviour of electrical networks can be described with many different representations, each with their distinct benefits. In this paper, we consider Z, Y, G, H, ABCD, S and T parameters. Formulas exist to go from one representation to another, but implementing them is an error-prone procedure. In this paper, we present a more elegant way to implement the transformations based on ma...

We characterized ectopic gene conversions in the genome of ten hemiascomycete yeast species. Of the ten species, three diverged prior to the whole genome duplication (WGD) event present in the yeast lineage and seven diverged after it. We analyzed gene conversions from three separate datasets: paralogs from the three pre-WGD species, paralogs from the seven post-WGD species, and common ohnologs...

[1] Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across the Northern Apennines (Italy) subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismic receiver functions (RFs). More than 13,000 P‐wave coda of teleseismic records from the 2003–2007 Retreating‐Trench, Extension, and Accretion Tectonics (RETREAT) experiment are used to provide new insights into a peculiar subduction ...

We are creating a document conversion system based on modelling the logical structures of two broad categories of document types: human-oriented and machine-oriented. Each human-oriented, or user, type is a genre of documents that is well de-ned and well known to human authors and readers; for example, \scientiic articles", \mathematical formulae" (e.g., x 3 +x 2 ?1 x 2 +1), or \limericks". Eac...

By comparing records of the radial component of motion of teleseismic P waves to records of the vertical component, it is possible to identify S phases within the P wave form. These phases are generated by the mechanism of P to S conversion at discontinuities in velocity under the receiving station. Similar phases of the S to P converted type appear as precursors to the direct SV arrival. Model...

The Late Aptian Rajmahal Traps originated through Kerguelen-Plume-related volcanism at the eastern margin of Indian Shield. Clinopyroxene and whole-rock thermobarometry reveals that magmas crystallized P-T conditions ≤~5 kbar/~1100–1200 °C. These pressures correspond to upper crustal depths (≤~19 km). Modeling shows primary were last in equilibrium with mantle ~9 kbar/~1280 corresponding (~33 k...
