Expression of the PSR132 protein from Dianthus caryophyllus (carnation, clover pink) is induced in response to ethylene production associated with petal senescence, and thus the protein is named petal death protein (PDP). Recent work has established that despite the annotation of PDP in sequence databases as carboxyphosphoenolpyruvate mutase, the enzyme is actually a C-C bond cleaving lyase exh...

The paper discusses the application of two decision methods, Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE), to the selection of “best” design alternatives across two case studies in the transportation domain. The cases are an airport express for the city of Chicago, and a freight rail line linking Lisbon, Portugal to Madrid, Spain. Through the joint use of MATE a...

This report included data for over 21,000 students from four cohorts who entered ninth grade between fall 2005 and fall 2008. Findings in the report were based on a series of randomized lotteries that were used when SSCs had more applicants than seats, in ...

We have been interested in the structure of the X chromosome of the stock known as scute-8 apricot, found by SIDOROV (1931). This stock has been used extensively in our laboratory, and it early became a matter of importance to have exact information on the nature of this chromosome, It was of course known that it contained a long inversion, but its exact limits had not been fully worked out. Th...
