We propose definitions in terminology to enhance ongoing collaborations between biologists and modellers on plankton ecology. Organism “functional type” should refer to commonality in ecology not biogeochemistry; the latter is largely an emergent property of the former, while alignment with ecology is also consistent with usage in terrestrial science. Adaptation should be confined, as in ge…

Algae have significant potential as a renewable biofuels feedstock, but their promise is unproven at a scale that actually competes with the existing use of fossil fuels. The success of global algal biofuels initiatives will depend upon our ability to produce algal crops in a reliable, cost-effective and sustainable manner. Although the science of aquatic ecology per se has unfortunately been g…

We interpreted the TRIDENT satellite derived gravity field to provide detailed insights into the spatial distribution of the crustal density structures in the area of the Yellow Sea. We used 3-D forward density modelling for the interpretation that incorporated constraints from existing geological and geophysical information. A gravity stripping method is used to separate out the gravity effect…

A method is outlined by means of which it is possible to estimate high-resolution vertical displacements due to an earthquake even in the case where high-resolution topography is lacking before the earthquake. This result can be achieved by combining a highly accurate, post-event digital elevation model (DEM), for example lidar, with archived satellite imagery. The method is illustrated by calc…

In the central Andes, the Nazca plate displays large along strike variations in dip with a near horizontal subduction angle between 28 and 32◦S referred to the Pampean flat slab segment. The upper plate above the Pampean flat slab has high rates of crustal seismicity and active basement cored uplifts. The SIEMBRA experiment, a 43-broad-band-seismic-station array was deployed to better ch…

In presence of large wavelength-scale shear-velocity variations in the Earth, acoustic waveform inversion may not be sufficient even when inverting long-offset data to retrieve the long-to-intermediate wavelengths of the compressional velocity. An acoustic modelling does not always correctly represent the compressional/primary waves when tuning effects and energy conversion between compression…

We prove congruences for the number of partition pairs (π1, π2) such that π1 is non-empty, s(π1) ≤ s(π2) and l(π2) < 2s(π1), where s(π) is the smallest part and l(π) is the largest part of a partition. The proofs use Bailey’s Lemma and a generalized Lambert series identity of Chan. We also discuss how a partition pair crank gives combinatori…

Let G be a finite primitive permutation group and let κ(G) be the number of conjugacy classes of derangements in G. By a classical theorem of Jordan, κ(G)  1. In this paper, we classify the groups G with κ(G) = 1, and we use this to obtain new results on the structure of finite groups with an irreducible complex character that vanishes on a unique conjugacy class. We also obtain…

It is well known that many genes implicated in the development and progression of breast cancer undergo aberrant alternative splicing events to produce proteins with pro-cancer properties.These changes in alternative splicingcan arise frommutations or single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the DNA sequences of cancer-related genes, which can strongly affect the activity of splicing fac…
