We inferred phylogeny among the three major lineages of the Acari ( mites) from the small subunit rRNA gene. Our phylogeny indicates that the Opilioacariformes is the sister-group to the Ixodida+Holothyrida, not the Ixodida+Mesostigmata+Holothyrida, as previously thought. Support for this relationship increased when sites with the highest rates of nucleotide substitution, and thus the greatest potential for saturation with nucleotide substitutions, were removed. Indeed, the increase in support ( and resolution) was despite a 70% reduction in the number of parsimony-informative sites from 408 to 115. This shows that rather than 'noisy' sites having no impact on resolution of deep branches, 'noisy' sites have the potential to obscure phylogenetic relationships. The arrangement, Ixodida+Holothyrida+Opilioacariformes, however, may be an artefact of long-branch attraction since relative-rate tests showed that the Mesostigmata have significantly faster rates of nucleotide substitution than other parasitiform mites. Thus, the fast rates of nucleotide substitution of the Mesostigmata might have caused the Mesostigmata to be attracted to the outgroup in our trees. We tested the hypothesis that the high rate of nucleotide substitution in some mites was related to their short generation times. The Acari species that have high nucleotide substitution rates usually have short generation times; these mites also tend to be more active and thus have higher metabolic rates than other mites. Therefore, more than one factor may affect the rate of nucleotide substitution in these mites.

The paper presents theoretical and experimental investigations into performances of narrowband uniformly and nonuniformly spaced adaptive linear dipole array antennas that are subjected to pointing errors. The analysis focuses on the array's output Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio. The presence of mutual coupling between the array elements is taken into account. It is shown that the array's tolerance to pointing errors can be enhanced by controlling the interelement spacing. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper we consider a Caputo type fractional derivative with respect to another function. Some properties, like the semigroup law, a relationship between the fractional derivative and the fractional integral, Taylor’s Theorem, Fermat’s Theorem, etc., are studied. Also, a numerical method to deal with such operators, consisting in approximating the fractional derivative by a sum that depends on the first-order derivative, is presented. Relying on examples, we show the efficiency and applicability of the method. Finally, an application of the fractional derivative, by considering a Population Growth Model, and showing that we can model more accurately the process using different kernels for the fractional operator is provided.

A MEMS, silicon based device with a cantilever oscillationsand an integrated magnet is presented for magnetic to electrical transduction. The cantilever structure can be configured either as an energy harvester to harvest power from an AC power line or as an AC current sensor. The positioning of the transducer with respect to the AC conductor is critical in both scenarios. For the energy scavenger, correct positioning is required to optimize the harvested power. For the current sensor, it is necessary to optimise the sensitivity of the sensor. This paper considers the effect of the relative position of the transducer with respect to the wire on the resulting electromagnetic forces and torques driving the device. It is shown here that the magnetic torque acting on a cantilever beam with an integrated magnet and in the vicinity of an alternating electromagnetic field is a very significant driver of the cantilever oscillations.

Classical myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are hematopoietic stem cell disorders that manifest with inflammation, promotion of atherosclerosis, hypercoagulability, fibrosis, and clonal evolution. The complex biological background lends itself to multi-omics studies. We have previously shown that reduced platelet fibrinogen receptor (PFR) expression may follow hyperactivation of plasma-dependent mechanisms, such as tissue factor (TF) release, unbalanced thrombin generation, involvement of protease-activated receptors (PARs). Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) helped to restore the expression of PFRs. In this study, we enrolled 53 MPN patients, subjecting them to advanced genetic testing (panel of 30 genes in NGS), global coagulation testing (Rotational Thromboelastometry - ROTEM) and cytofluorometric determination of PFRs. ROTEM parameters appear to differ considerably depending on the type of pathology under investigation, cell count, and selected mutations. Essential thrombocythemia (ET) and CALR mutation appear to correlate with increased efficiency of both classical coagulation pathways, with significantly more contracted clot formation times (CFTs). In contrast, primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and polycythemia vera (PV) show greater imbalances in the hemostatic system. PV, probably due to its peculiar hematological features, shows a lengthening of the CFT and, at the same time, a selective contraction of parameters in INTEM with the increase of platelets and white blood cells. PMF - in contrast - seems to exploit the extrinsic pathway more to increase cell numbers. The presence of DNMT3A mutations is associated with reduced clotting time (CT) in EXTEM, while ASXL1 causes reduced maximal lysis (ML). EZH2 could be responsible for the elongation of CFT in INTEM assay. In addition, increased PFR expression is associated with history of hemorrhage and sustained CT time in FIBTEM under ASA prophylaxis. Our findings corroborate the existing models on the connection between fibrosis, genetic complexity, clonal progression, and hypercoagulability. Global coagulation assays and PFR expression are potentially useful tools for dynamic evaluation of treatments’ outcomes.
