Let X be a connected normal Stein space of pure dimension d ≥ 2 with isolated singularities only. By solving a weighted ∂-equation with compact support on a desingularization of X , we derive Hartogs’ Extension Theorem on X by the ∂-idea due to Ehrenpreis.

The arrival of agriculture into Europe during the Neolithic transition brought a significant shift in human lifestyle and subsistence. However, the conditions under which the spread of the new culture and technologies occurred are still debated. Similarly, the roles played by women and men during the Neolithic transition are not well understood, probably due to the fact that mitochondrial DNA (...

Relative growth is often used as a phenotypic measure to distinguish mutant and wild-type yeast or bacterial strains. Differential growth as a function of temperature is a convenient and accurate means of analyzing differences between strains. Slight differences in the genotypes of two strains frequently result in differential growth of the two strains as a function of temperature. We have deve...

IOLOGISTS have long directed attention to problems relating to the B determination of quantitative measures of body conformation and the genetic factors responsible for variation in conformation. Such variation in conformation hetween individual aninials within a species is due to differences in the relative proportions of the various parts to each other and to the animal as a whole. D’ARCY p t...

Rodents use their whiskers to sense their surroundings. As most of the information available to the somatosensory system originates in whiskers' primary afferents, it is essential to understand the transformation of whisker motion into neuronal activity. Here, we combined in vivo recordings in anesthetized rats with mathematical modeling to ascertain the mechanical and electrical characteristic...

This paper considers the early experiences of the development of wind turbines and the wind energy industry in order to try and identify lessons learned that could now be applied to the developing marine renewables technology and industry. It considers both political and commercial incentives and engineering development.

We consider the term aidea from a philosophical point of view. In particular we are interested in the concept s origins, its relevance to human thinking and in particular in its pedagogical value for computer science lessons in schools as well as universities. Since the concept of fundamental ideas in computer science has been seized, extended, and reviewed by other authors and applied to lesso...
