Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...

Three partial radial distribution functions [RDF's] are calculated by means of relaxed dense-random packing models for a Fe80B20 glass. The model structures reproduce fairly well recently reported experimental partial RDF's derived from x-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction using isotopic substitutional methods. Most significantly, both the model calculated by means of relaxed dense-random ...

The focus of this paper is on the characterization of the skewness of an attribute-value distribution and on the extrapolations for interesting parameters. More speciically, given a vector with the highest h multiplicities ~ m = (m 1 ; m 2vide eeective schemes for obtaining estimates about either its statistics or subsets/supersets of the relation. We assume an 80/20 law, and speciically, a p=(...

Objective. To explore whether an 80:20 rule exists in Java from six coupling metrics over multiple versions of open-source software and, if so, whether that relationship is exacerbated over time. Methods. We used the automated tool JHawk to extract the 6 different coupling metrics from four Open-Source Systems. We then ranked the classes on each of these 6 coupling metrics and then analysed the...
