A mixed initial and boundary value problem is considered for
a partial differential equation of the form Muₜ(x, t)+Lu(x, t)=0,
where M and L are elliptic differential operators of orders 2 m
and 2l, respectively, with m ≤ l. The existence and uniqueness
of a strong solution of this equation...
Electron avalanche due to intraband optical absorption is discussed as a mechanism responsible for laser induced damage in certain insulating crystals.
Sixteen species of oceanic shrimps, seven Penaeidea and nine Caridea, appeared in 244 collections made within the upper 1500 m at one station in the northeast Pacific off Oregon. Most of the species were primarily mesopelagic in distribution. The most abundant species, Sergestes similis, was the only shrimp common in...
Much of our present knowledge about the species composition and distribution of (ephalopods of the Pacific Ocean is derived from collections made on cruises of the "Albatross," steamer of the U.S. Fish Commission, During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. "Albatross" collections along the west coast of North America...
It has generally been assumed by historians and anthropologists that the indigenous groups living to the west and northwest of the Colorado River were non-horticultural with three or four exceptions: some horticulture among the eastern-most Kamia, among the Chemehuevi who settled at a late date along the Colorado River, and...
Members of Gram-positive Actinobacteria cause economically important diseases to plants. Within the Rhodococcus genus,
some members can cause growth deformities and persist as pathogens on a wide range of host plants. The current model
predicts that phytopathogenic isolates require a cluster of three loci present on a linear plasmid, with...
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide, WD) ice core is a newly drilled, high-accumulation
deep ice core that provides Antarctic climate records of
the past ~68 ka at unprecedented temporal resolution. The
upper 2850 m (back to 31.2 ka BP) have been dated using
annual-layer counting. Here we...
