most extensively analysed fungal sequences. As there are now barcode sequences covering all kingdoms of multicellular life, and taxonomists in museums are working hard to keep the molecular information connected to the traditional repositories and species definitions, barcodes offer the opportunity to expand species identification to situations where skilled taxonomists may not be at hand. “As ...

Allele sharing between modern and archaic hominin genomes has been variously interpreted to have originated from ancestral genetic structure or through non-African introgression from archaic hominins. However, evolution of polymorphic human deletions that are shared with archaic hominin genomes has yet to be studied. We identified 427 polymorphic human deletions that are shared with archaic hom...

The two most distinct models of recent human evolution, the multiregional and the recent African origin models, have different retrodictions concerning specific archaic-recent population relationships. The former model infers multiple regional archaic-modern connections and the ancient establishment of regional characteristics, whereas the latter model implies only an African archaic-all modern...

the electric quadrupole, hexadecapole moments, energy (kjmol -1) for some armchair polyhex carbon nanotubes tuvc6[2p,q] are performed by beck-lee-yang-parr [b3lyp] on 3-21g basis set using the standard procedure indices gaussian 98, then the padmakar-ivan (pi) index of tuvc6[2p,q] nanotubes in the terms of their circumference (2p) and lengh (q) is calculated and the relationships between the pa...

Recent studies of ancient genomes have suggested that gene flow from archaic hominin groups to the ancestors of modern humans occurred on two separate occasions during the modern human expansion out of Africa. At the same time, decreasing levels of human genetic diversity have been found at increasing distance from Africa as a consequence of human expansion out of Africa. We analyzed the signal...

Writing the city,” particularly writing the city of Johannesburg, in post-apartheid South African fiction can be considered a new approach to interpreting South African culture—a new approach that takes into consideration and reflects the changes taking place in present-day South African society. Texts written on Johannesburg such as Kgebetli Moele’s Room 207 (2006) and Ivan Vladislavić’s The R...
