An unbiased assessment of the role of imprinted genes in an intergenerational model of developmental programming. by Elizabeth J Radford, Elvira Isganaitis, Josep Jimenez-Chillaron, Joshua Schroeder, Michael Molla, Simon Andrews, Nathalie Didier, Marika Charalambous, Kirsten McEwen, Giovanna Marazzi, David Sassoon, Mary-Elizabeth Patti, Anne C Ferguson-Smith

“…We demonstrate that, despite the functional mono-allelicism of imprinted genes and their unique mechanisms of epigenetic dosage control, imprinted genes as a class are neither more susceptible nor protected from expression perturbation induced by maternal undernutrition in either the F1 or the F2 generation compared to other genes. …”

The Sensitivity of Characteristics of Large Scale Baroclinic Unstable Waves in Southern Hemisphere to the Underlying Climate by Sergei Soldatenko, Chris Tingwell

“…Two types of waves are considered: synoptic scale waves and planetary scale (ultralong) waves based on an Eady-type model and model with vertically averaged primitive equations. Sensitivity functions are obtained that estimate the impact of variations in σ0 and Λ on the growth rate and other characteristics of unstable waves and demonstrate that waves belonging to the short-wave part of the spectrum of unstable waves are more sensitive to changes in the static stability parameter than waves belonging to the long-wave part of the spectrum. …”

Le Parménide de Platon : une cosmologie sans kosmos ? by Gabrièle Wersinger Taylor

“…It is so because it fails to reconcile the contraries in a selective and musical “sumplokè” capable of building a kosmos involving a mathematical model (logistikè) that could establish a medium between the opposites. Parmenides’ model functions as a repellent for this kosmological model, the inspiration of which is Pythagorean (whether it is Plato’s fiction or not is not a question we shall enter here) because, among all, it lacks of harmony and music by privileging diakrisis and the goddess Necessity, associated to parturitions incapable of generating a kosmos.…”

ASCERTAINMENT OF ELECTRIC-SUPPLY SCHEMES RELIABILITY FOR THE ATOMIC POWER PLANT AUXILIARIES by A. L. Starzhinskij

“…The initiating events for reactors include complete blackout, i.e. the loss of outside power supply (normal and reserve); emergency switching one of the working turbogenerators; momentary dumping the normal rating to the level of auxiliaries with seating the cutout valve of one turbo-generator. The combination of any initiating event with the repairing mode in case of one of the system elements failure should not lead to blackout occurrence of more than one system of the reliable power supply. …”
