Three different approaches were used to assess the kinship structure of two epiphytic bryophytes, Orthotrichum speciosum and O. obtusifolium, that have different dispersal strategies. The two species were sampled in a 200 ha landscape where species occurrence and host trees had been mapped previously. Local environmental conditions at sampled trees were recorded and kinship between individuals ...

Pollen mother cells of the lily (Lilium speciosum) were found to have a histone-H1-like protein (PMCP) not detected in other tissues. The PMCP appears from the late S-G(2) period of premeiosis and is present in mature pollen. PMCP and H1 were extracted from pollen mother cells with 5% perchloric acid and isolated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The amino acid compositio...

My main interest is analytic number theory and random matrix theory (especially the distribution of zeros of L-functions and the eigenvalues of random matrix ensembles); I am also studying equidistribution problems in analysis and probability, and working on applied problems in probability, statistics, graph theory, cryptography, sabermetrics and linear programming where the tools and technique...
