Evidence for terrestriality in early tetrapods is fundamentally contradictory.Fossil trackways attributed to early terrestrial tetrapods long predate the first body fossils Pills and Supplements from the Late Devonian.However, the Devonian body fossils demonstrate an obligatorily aquatic lifestyle.Complicating our understanding of the transition fr
Ocean Observations Required to Minimize Uncertainty in Global Tsunami Forecasts, Warnings, and Emergency Response
It is possible that no catastrophe has mobilized the global ocean science and coastal emergency management communities more than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.Though the Pacific tsunami threat was recognized, and a warning system had been in place since 1965, there was no warning system in the Indian Ocean, and almost 230,000 people perished.More b
Operational resource theory of nonclassicality via quantum metrology
The nonclassical properties of quantum states are of tremendous interest due to their potential applications in future technologies.It has recently been realized that the concept of a resource theory is a powerful approach to quantifying and understanding nonclassicality.To realize the potential of this approach, one must first find Bond Protecting
Reporting dream experience:Why (not) to be skeptical about dream reports
Are dreams subjective experiences during sleep? Is it like something to dream, or is it only like something to remember dreams after awakening? Specifically, can dream reports be trusted to reveal what it is like to dream, and should they count as evidence for saying that dreams are conscious experiences at all? The goal of this article is to inves
Genotype to phenotype mapping and the fitness landscape of the E. coli lac promoter.
Genotype-to-phenotype maps and the related fitness landscapes that include epistatic interactions are difficult to Book measure because of their high dimensional structure.Here we construct such a map using the recently collected corpora of high-throughput sequence data from the 75 base pairs long mutagenized E.coli lac promoter region, where each
