Significance Assessment for large-scale photosynthesis-climate feedbacks is needed. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) an emerging proxy the terrestrial photosynthesis. This limited by uncertainties related to magnitudes of COS sources and sinks. Here, we demonstrate measurement-based assessments isotopic signal of: tropospheric COS, marine anthropogenic emissions, fractionation plant uptake. All these res...

Soil exchange of carbonyl sulfide (COS) is the second largest COS flux in terrestrial ecosystems. A novel application of COS is the separation of gross primary productivity (GPP) from concomitant respiration. This method requires that soil COS exchange is relatively small and can be well quantified. Existing models for soil COS flux have incorporated empirical temperature and moisture functions...

Because cone outer segments (COS) are now known to be continually renewed, I reexamined COS morphogenesis in retinas of Xenopus tadpoles (prepared by standard histologic techniques and viewed by light and electron microscopy) to clarify how COS incorporate new membrane. I observed that developing COS underwent an unexpected shape change: they were always conical, but their taper (width divided ...

Patients with schizophrenia perform poorly on cognitive skill learning tasks. This study is the first to investigate the neural basis of impairment in cognitive skill learning in first-degree adolescent relatives of patients with schizophrenia. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare activation in 16 adolescent siblings of patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) and 4...

SET in the azure Aegean sea is the island of Cos. Not far to the east is a promontory on which was once the city of Cnidos. Both were inhabited by Greeks, yet even as in our own country Greek did not always agree with Greek, and differing solutions to the same problem often led to considerable variation in opinion. Yet here in these two small land areas took origin some of the very basic concep...

This document includes some mathematical notions I will assume. Most of these are taught in a discrete math class, and in any case are not complicated and easy to pick up. You can read it at your own pace — it will take a few weeks until we’ll get to use all of this stuff. You do not have to do the exercises, and in any case don’t need to submit them. If you feel you’d like more clarifications ...

6 = 2(cos( (π+2kπ) 6 ) + i sin( (π+2kπ) 6 )) where k = 0, 1, 2, · · · , 5. Let rk = 2(cos( (π+2kπ) 6 ) + i sin( (π+2kπ) 6 )) where k = 0, 1, 2, · · · , 5. Therefore r0 = 2(cos( π 6 )+i sin( 6 )) = √ 3+i, r1 = 2(cos( π 2 )+i sin( 2 )) = 2i, r2 = 2(cos( 5π 6 )+ i sin( 6 )) = − √ 3 + i, r3 = 2(cos( 7π 6 ) + i sin( 6 )) = − √ 3 − i, r4 = 2(cos( 2 ) + i sin( 2 )) = −2i and r5 = 2(cos( 6 ) + i sin( 1...

Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers.), crown and fruit rot (Phytophthora cactorum (Lebert Cohn) J.Schröt), verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.) are among the main diseases that affect strawberry crop. In study presented herein, bark extract of Uncaria tomentosa (Willd. ex Schult.) DC, popularly known as “cat’s claw”, has been evaluated for its capability to act a sustainable control meth...
