The nereidid polychaete Laeonereis acuta (Treadwell, 1923) is either considered to be a valid species, or a synonym of Laeonereis culveri (Webster, 1879).The species epithet, acuta, refers to the acuminate anterior region of the body followed by a widening that is visible up to the 10th setiger.The relative width of the anterior region of the body,
All genes critical for plasmid replication regulation are located on the plasmid rather than on the host chromosome.It is possible therefore that there can be copy-up "cheater" mutants.In spite of this possibility, low copy number plasmids appear to exist stably in host populations.We examined this paradox using a multilevel selection model.Simulat
This paper proposes an optimal network reconfiguration (ONR) by integrating the renewable energy (RE) based distributed generation (DG) resources, i.e., wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, and electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS).The uncertainties related to renewable energy sources (RESs) are handled by using probability analysis.In thi
This paper is concerned with the metaphysics of created repeatable objects, such as musical works and literary fictions.In section 2 we lay out what we take to be intuitive and plausible desiderata for any theory of created repeatable objects.In sections 3 and 4 we proceed with an extended disjunctive Medium Format Lens syllogism.Created repeatable
Tungsten is a prime candidate material for the plasma-facing components in future fusion devices, e.g.ITER and DEMO.Because of the harsh and complex loading conditions and the differences in material properties, joining of the tungsten armor to the underlying construction and/or cooling parts is a complicated issue.To alleviate the thermal stresses
