TL;DR: Both species are vulnerable to leaf damage by invertebrates and fungi and exhibit clear leaf area thresholds for progression across life stages, both suggesting a delicate carbon balance for these mixotrophic orchids.
Abstract: Terrestrial orchids are especially susceptible to population declines, and hence are the focus of plant conservation efforts worldwide, but the life history and demography of heterotrophic orchids is not well understood. Our objective was to quantify life stage transition rates for a species pair of rare round-leaved orchids (Platanthera spp.) in a northern hardwood forest. Marked individuals were measured over 5 years, and metrics included: leaf area, damage by herbivores and pathogens, flowering, and seed production. Germination trials were also conducted. Vital rates were very similar for the two species, which were about equally abundant despite large differences in seed production. Mortality was twice as high for juvenile as for adult stages, and juvenile abundance was markedly lower than for adults. Both species are vulnerable to leaf damage by invertebrates and fungi and exhibit clear leaf area thresholds for progression across life stages, both suggesting a delicate carbon balance for these mixotr...

01 Aug 2006TL;DR: This paper presents a heuristic for finding close to optimal solutions to the local alignment problem of two DNA sequences, and more precisely to the gene prediction problem on the Connex Array circuit, a new hierarchical parallel in-memory device.
Abstract: This paper presents a heuristic for finding close to optimal solutions to the local alignment problem of two DNA sequences, and more precisely to the gene prediction problem on the Connex Array circuit, a new hierarchical parallel in-memory device. Though not optimal, the solutions generated by our algorithm compare well with those generated by other algorithms in the public domain. When aligning a probe of N symbols to a target of M symbols, the algorithm has a theoretical time complexity of O(N log(N)), with a small constant of proportionality, and requires no preprocessing of the data. However, experimental results exhibit quasi-linear time complexity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the evidence for problems with merit-based promotions, as well as various explanations that have been advanced for why these problems occur, and propose a new model, based on contemporary management theory and evidence, which addresses the question of why promotions fail.
Abstract: The challenge of developing and maintaining an effective organisation is intimately linked with HR activities that include selecting and motivating employees. Many organisations engage in an internal selection process designed to fill upper level positions with employees who have proven their worth at a lower level in the organisation. However, some observers have questioned whether this approach actually results in optimal individual and organisational performance. Using the Peter Principle as a starting point, this article examines the evidence for problems with merit-based promotions, as well as various explanations that have been advanced for why these problems occur. This article then proposes a new model, based on contemporary management theory and evidence, which addresses the question of why promotions fail.

TL;DR: This paper found that children who were made aware of the possibility that speakers themselves (rather than simply their words) might refer to more than one referent, were significantly better able to detect referential ambiguity than were children who assumed that speakers attempted to describe a single referent.
Abstract: Two studies were conducted to examine the effect of children's social cognitions on their ability to monitor their comprehension in the referential communication paradigm. Specifically, it was hypo thesized that children's beliefs about the intentions and cooperative- ness of speakers prevent them from accurately evaluating messages. In Experiment 1, it was found that children who were made aware of the possibility that speakers themselves (rather than simply their words) might refer to more than one referent, were significantly better able to detect referential ambiguity than were children who, as in traditional referential communication studies, assumed that speakers attempted to describe a single referent. In Experiment 2, it was found that children faced with potentially uncooperative or dishonest speakers, carefully examined the words of referential directions and therefore detected more problems with those directions than children faced with honest, if potentially incompetent speakers. The results a...
