Procedures that may be used to evaluate the operational performance of a wide spectrum of
geophysical models are introduced. Primarily using a complementary set of difference …

RFLP analyses of 16S rDNA nested PCR products from 34 phytoplasma strains with 17
restriction enzymes delineated distinct pattern types. Based on similarity coefficients derived …

▪ Abstract During the past decade, research has yielded new knowledge about the plant
and insect host ranges, geographical distribution, and phylogenetic relationships of …

A long-term (1952-1997) climatology was developed using reference vineyard observations
in Bordeaux, France. The procedure partitioned the season into growth intervals from one …

The mitochondrial electron transport enzyme NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I),
which is encoded by both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA, is defective in multiple …

Phytoplasmas, the causal agents of numerous plant diseases, are insect-vector-transmitted,
cell-wall-less bacteria descended from ancestral low-G+C-content Gram-positive bacteria in …

The evolution of the human mitochondrial genome is characterized by the emergence of
ethnically distinct lineages or haplogroups. Nine European, seven Asian (including Native …

We describe and validate a model that retrieves fractional snow-covered area and the grain
size and albedo of that snow from surface reflectance data (product MOD09GA) acquired by …

Phytoplasmas are cell wall-less bacteria that cause numerous plant diseases. As no
phytoplasma has been cultured in cell-free medium, phytoplasmas cannot be differentiated and …

This study describes the impact of weather on human mortality at numerous locations around
the United States. We evaluate forty-eight cities and determine the differential impact of …
