SUMMARY BAOBAB is a Java user interface dedicated to viewing and editing large phylogenetic trees. Original features include: (i) a colour-mediated overview of magnified subtrees; (ii) copy/cut/paste of (sub)trees within or between windows; (iii) compressing/ uncompressing subtrees; and (iv) managing sequence files together with tree files.

Our model implies a magnified effect of marriage rates on the illegitimacy ratio. For U.S. data, plots and regression estimates support the prediction that the share of unmarried births is driven by the square of the share of unmarried women. D 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In addition to the determination of the mass distribution of lenses (see P. Schneider, this conference), strong and weak lensing can also be powerfull tools to analyse the redshift distribution of faint galaxies. In this review, I summarize the present status of redshifts of galaxies beyond B = 25 as they are inferred by spectroscopy of magnified galaxies, lensing inversion and magnification bias.

Mutations are the ultimate fuel for evolution, but most mutations have a negative effect on fitness. It has been widely accepted that these deleterious fitness effects are, on average, magnified in stressful environments. Recent results suggest that the effects of deleterious mutations can, instead, sometimes be ameliorated in stressful environments.

Giza governorate has unique characteristics which induces mosquito proliferation and thus magnified the risk of diseases transmission. In present study, entomological field surveys integrated with lab analysis were utilized to characterize water quality associated breeding habitats in Nile Valley zone governorate. Field survey was conducted for a total number 20 accessible sites during period 6...

ABSTRACT Gravitational waves (GWs) may be magnified or de-magnified due to lensing. This phenomenon will bias the distance estimation based on matched filtering technique. Via multi-sphere ray-tracing technique, we study GW magnification effect and selection with particular attention stellar-mass binary black holes. We find that, for observed luminosity $\lesssim 3\, \mathrm{Gpc}$, which is aLI...

UNLABELLED (99m)Tc-sestamibi dual-phase scintigraphy is currently established for parathyroid localization. However, the imaging technique is not standardized, and the role of the pinhole collimator, especially, is not fully recognized in the imaging protocol. The aim of this study was to check whether the use of a pinhole collimator in parathyroid scintigraphy would enhance lesion detectabilit...
