Two new pulsating hot subdwarf stars from the Edinburgh-Cape survey
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
We report the discovery of very rapid pulsations in two hot subdwarf stars from the Edinburgh-
Cape blue object survey. The short periods, small amplitudes and multiperiodicity establish
these stars as members of the ...
Database for exploration of functional context of genes implicated in ovarian cancer
(Oxford Journals, 2009)
Ovarian cancer (OC) is becoming the most common gynecological cancer in developed countries and the most lethal gynecological malignancy. It is also
the fifth leading cause of all cancer-related deaths in women. The ...
Carybdea branchi, sp. nov., a new box jellyfish (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) from South Africa.
(Magnolia Press, 2009)
A common and conspicuous member of the medusan fauna of South Africa has been the subject of repeated taxonomic confusion. After having been mistakenly identified by earlier workers as either Carybdea alata or Tamoya ...
Real-time gesture recognition using eigenvectors
(2009)
This paper discusses an implementation for gesture
recognition using eigenvectors under controlled conditions. This
application of eigenvector recognition is trained on a set of
defined hand images. Training images are ...
DDEC: Dragon databaseof genes implicated in esophageal cancer
(BioMed Central, 2009)
Esophageal cancer ranks eighth in order of cancer occurrence. Its lethality primarily stems from inability to detect the disease during the early organ-confined stage and the lack of effective therapies for advanced-stage ...
Three species of Mastophora (Rhodophyta: Corallinales, Corallinaceae) in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean: M. rosea (C. Agardh) Setchell, M. pacifica (Heydrich) Foslie, and M. multistrata sp. nov
(International Phycological Society, 2009)
Three species of Mastophora (Corallinaceae, Corallinales, Rhodophyta) were found in extensive studies of non-geniculate coralline algae in various areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific, including French Polynesia, Fiji, Ryukyu ...
A revision of the genus Strongylodesma Lévi (Porifera: Demospongiae: Latrunculiidae) with descriptions of four new species
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)
The sponge genus Strongylodesma is reviewed and redefined, and now accommodates eight closely related species. The type species of Strongylodesma Le´vi is redescribed and an additional two new species are described from ...
Fitting power-law distributions to data with measurement errors
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
If X, which follows a power-law distribution, is observed subject to Gaussian measurement
error e, thenX+e is distributed as the convolution of the power-lawand Gaussian distributions.
Maximum-likelihood estimation of ...
Statistical tests for changes in the amplitude, frequency or phase of a sinusoidal variation
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
The problem considered is that of testing for small changes over time in the properties of
a sinusoidal signal contaminated by noise. Two test statistics are proposed. The first is a
frequency domain statistic based on ...
Correcting CCD photometry of stars for seeing effects
(Oxford Univeristy Press, 2009)
Systematic variability in stellarmagnitudes, as derived from profile fitting to CCD images,may
in some instances be due to variable seeing. It is suggested that this happens in cases where the
stars are unresolved pairs, ...
