The retrieval of DNA from fossils remains controversial. To substantiate claims of DNA recovery, one needs additional information on the preservation of other molecules within the same sample. Flash pyrolysis with GC and MS was used to assess the quality of protein preservation in 11 archaeological and paleontological remains, some of which have yielded ancient DNA sequences authenticated via a...

Abstract A classical result of Baer states that a finite group G which is the product two normal supersoluble subgroups if and only ʹ nilpotent. In this article, we show = AB (respectively, w -supersoluble) B , in permutes with every maximal subgroup each Sylow then -supersoluble), provided We also investigate products defined above when $ A\cap B=1 obtain more general results.

An important property for finite difference schemes designed on curvilinear meshes is the exact preservation of free-stream solutions. This property is difficult to fulfill for high order conservative essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) finite difference schemes. In this paper we explore an alternative flux formulation for such finite difference schemes [5] which can preserve free-stream solutio...
