HE experiments to be described are concerned with a comparative study of T the mutagenic effectiveness of thermal neutrons in producing sex-linked lethal mutations in male and female Drosophila melanogaster. Some of this work has appeared previously in abstract form (KING 1952a). Preliminary comparative studies of the mutagenic effectiveness of X-rays in producing sex-linked lethal mutations in...

We estimate a structural model of schooling, labor supply and life-cycle earnings in which some individuals have comparative advantage in producing skills in school while others are better at producing skills in the labor market and analyze some of its key implications. The model is estimated using a sample of white males taken from the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (...

This paper presents a comparative study of the communication middleware systems suitable for aggregating computational clusters with heterogeneous incompatible SANs into a common Cluster of Clusters (CoC). Being interested mainly in solutions providing the programmer with some single, portable and widely accepted parallel programming model like the Message Passing Interface (MPI), we have narro...

In this contribution our aim is to present a multicriteria linguistic decision making model in which experts might provide their assessments by using linguistic expressions based on comparative terms close to the expressions used by human beings in real world problems or single linguistic terms. To aggregate such a type of linguistic information two symbolic aggregation operators are introduced...

We propose a new class of rotation invariant and consistent goodness-of-fit tests for multivariate distributions based on Euclidean distance between sample elements. The proposed test applies to any multivariate distribution with finite second moments. In this article we apply the new method for testing multivariate normality when parameters are estimated. The resulting test is affine invariant...

Human food production is the largest cause of global environmental changes. Environmental benefits could be achieved by replacing diets with a high amount animal-sourced foods more plant-based foods, due to their smaller impacts. The objective this study was assess impacts three most common milk alternatives (PBMAs)—oat, soy, and almond drink—in comparison conventional organic cow milk. Life cy...

This work presents a comparative study focusing on the alternatives that small photovoltaic self-generating group of consumers face within new legal framework in Spain. Several are presented, simulated and discussed for representative generating plant serving could be associated. Conclusions duly drawn, showing which options most favourable consumers. Also, brief description important features ...
