We present detections of the CO(J = 1–0) emission line in a sample of four massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1.5 − 2.2 obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). Combining these observations with previous CO(2–1) and CO(3–2) detections of these galaxies, we study the excitation properties of the molecular gas in our sample sources. We find an average line brightness temperature...

An important question in taste research is how 25 receptors of the human TAS2R family detect thousands of structurally diverse compounds. An answer to this question may arise from the observation that TAS2Rs in general are broadly tuned to interact with numerous substances. Ultimately, interaction with chemically diverse agonists requires architectures of binding pockets tailored to combine fle...

We report the measurement of the three-point correlation function (3PCF) of galaxies for the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS). We have not only measured the 3PCF in redshift space but also developed a method to measure the projected 3PCF which has simple relations to the real space 3PCF. Both quantities have been measured as a function of triangle size and shape with only a fractional uncert...

White mold caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary limits common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in temperate climates. Disease resistance has been identifi ed, but breeding is hampered by a paucity of resistance sources and complex inheritance, as numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) conditioning partial resistance have been found. Our objectives wer...

Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12, isolated from radiation-polluted soil, is a red-pigmented strain of the extremely radioresistant genus Deinococcus. It contains a major carotenoid, namely, deinoxanthin. Here, we present a 3.39-Mb assembly of its genome sequence, which might provide various kinds of useful information related to Deinococcus, such as about the key enzymes of its radioresistance mec...

The key to Seymour’s Regular Matroid Decomposition Theorem is his result that each 3-connected regular matroid with no R10or R12-minor is graphic or cographic. We present a proof of this in terms of signed graphs. 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 48: 74–84, 2005

While filtering has long been considered the primary mechanism by which markets supply lowincome housing, direct estimates of that process have been absent. This has contributed to doubts about the viability of markets and to misplaced policy. I fill this gap by estimating a “repeat income” model using 1985-2011 panel data. Real annual filtering rates are faster for rental housing (2.5 percent)...

We consider a general class of boundary terms of the open XYZ spin-1/2 chain compatible with integrability. We have obtained the general elliptic solution of K-matrix obeying the boundary Yang-Baxter equation using the R-matrix of the eight vertex model and derived the associated integrable spin-chain Hamiltonian. 1+1 dimensional integrable models with boundaries find interesting applications i...

Let S(R) be an o-minimal structure over R, T ⊂ Rk1+k2+l a closed definable set, and π1 : R k1+k2+l → R12 , π2 : R k1+k2+l → R, π3 : R k1+k2 → R2 the projection maps as depicted below.
