Abstract A graph has boxicity k if k is the smallest integer such that G is an intersection graph of k -dimensional boxes in a k -dimensional space (where the sides of the boxes are parallel to the coordinate axis). A graph has grid dimension k if k is the smallest inte...

The origins of the Bronze Age Minoan and Mycenaean cultures have puzzled archaeologists for more than a century. We assembled genome-wide data from nineteen ancient individuals, including Minoans from Crete, Mycenaeans from mainland Greece, and their eastern neighbours ...

In North America, reed (Phragmites australis) is typically considered to be a weed although it provides important ecosystem services. Small, sparse, patchy or mixed reedbeds are more suitable as habitat for many species than extensive dense reedbeds, whose habitat funct...

Social tagging has become a common practice across a variety of platforms on the Web. In this panel, we propose to start with one title, Casino Royale, a James Bond novel by Ian Fleming, and the other cultural products that emanated from it (e.g., two movies, one song, ...

Background While the expert-based occupational exposure assessment approach has been considered the reference method for retrospective population-based studies, its implementation in large study samples has become prohibitive. To facilitate its application and improve u...

Abstract Two simple equations are used for calculating the shapes of the axes of updrafts in convective storms, based on consideration of changes of horizontal momentum in rising air. Momentum change parameters are obtained empirically by a comparison with observations ...

Abstract Rapid declines threaten the persistence of many marine fish. Data from more than 230 populations reveal a median reduction of 83% in breeding population size from known historic levels. Few populations recover rapidly; most exhibit little or no change in abunda...

<jats:p>We investigate the dynamics of trader behaviors using an agent-based genetic programming system to simulate double-auction markets. The objective of this study is two-fold. First, we seek to evaluate how, if any, the difference in trader rationality/intelligence...
