We analyse continuous recordings from 23 broadband seismic stations near Alberta, the southwestern sector of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Noise correlation tomography based on vertical-component seismograms reveals below-average shear velocities at shallow and middle crustal depths in central Alberta, spanning across Proterozoic accreted terranes and Archean microcontinents. This obse…

The effect of P-limitation and viral infection on prokaryotic production (PP) and respiration was determined during the early winter in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Addition of P enhanced prokaryotic growth and viral production. The concentrations of total dissolved nitrogen increased linearly with decreasing viral abundance, PP and growth efficiency across treatments. Our data suggest …

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…

In the last decade of his life the Duke of Bridgewater (1736–1803), who had amassed enormous wealth from developing canals in the north-west of England, became a major collector of continental Old Master paintings, thereby founding what was to become the greatest private art collection in nineteenth-century London. His most spectacular purchase was the acquisition in 1798 of sixty-four Italia…

This paper estimates the long-run impact of a large income shock based on regional variations in the 1987�89 locust plague in Mali. We take comprehensive population census data to construct birth cohorts of individuals and compare those born and living in the years and villages affected by locust plagues with other cohorts. We find a clear, strong impact on the educational outcomes of …

George Eliot’s novel Adam Bede was first published in 1859. The story has since been adapted for stage and screen. This article considers two nineteenth-century stage adaptations (1862 and 1884 – from manuscripts in the British Library), two silent film versions (1915 and 1918), one stage dramatization (1990), a television film (1991), and a radio adaptation (2001) to cons…

For any Calder´on–Zygmund operator T, any weight w, and α > 1, the operator T is bounded as a map from L1(ML log log L(log log log L)αw) into weak-L1(w). The interest in questions of this type goes back to the beginnings of the weighted theory, with prior results, due to Coifman–Fefferman, P´erez, and Hyt¨onen–P´erez, on the L(log L) scale. Also, for square functions Sf,and…

Market integration has been widely studied in the past to gain a better understanding of how different markets for the same good interact with one another. Traditional cointegration tests have been used to perform these analyses; however, these tests can only reveal the presence of stable or average long-term relationships. To evaluate market dynamics over time, we modify a time-varying smooth …
