Two scenarios of neuronal evolution (monophyly and polyphyly) are discussed in the historical timeline starting from the 19th century. The recent genomic studies on Ctenophores re-initiated a broad interest in the hypotheses of independent origins of neurons. However, even earlier work on ctenophores suggested that their nervous systems are unique in many aspects of their organization and a pos...

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of epoxy resins based on (hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenol (EFN) and p,p’-isopropylidenebisphenol (EBN), respectively and 4, 4’(hexafluoroisopropylidene)dipthalic-imideamine (IMAM), a curing agent. The synthesized epoxy resins and IMAM curing agent were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (...

The study observed population of 484 generation restrictive genealogies collected in four Croatian regions during 1970/71 within "The study of fat and carbohydrate metabolism indicators correlated with the occurrence of diabetes in animal fat and oil consuming population groups". The genealogies were collected on two islands (Brac and Hvar) and in two continental regions (Sinjska Krajina and Sr...

We consider the Wright-Fisher model with exponential population growth and investigate effects of population growth on the shape of genealogy and the distributions of several test statistics of neutrality. In the limiting case as the population grows rapidly, the rapid-growth-limit genealogy is characterized. We obtained approximate expressions for expectations and variances of test statistics ...

As defined in the Chemical Genealogy database (Chemical Genealogy Database), ‘‘A professional genealogy (as opposed to a family genealogy) traces a person’s intellectual line of descent via one’s Ph.D. advisor or mentor for one’s highest non-honorary degree.’’ The professional genealogy for Professor Daniel I. C. Wang of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of T...

The genealogy of a cluster in the multitype voter model can be defined in terms of a family of dual coalescing random walks. We represent the genealogy of a cluster as a point process in a size-time plane and show that in high dimensions the genealogy of the cluster at the origin has a weak Poisson limit. The limiting point process is the same as for the genealogy of the size-biased Galton-Wats...
