Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Mississippi • 1041 isolated teeth; Catahoula Formation; SC 2013.28.664 to 28.666, SC 2013.28.667 (6 specimens), SC 2013.28.668 (Fig. 29I–J), SC 2013.28.669, SC 2013.28.670 (3 specimens), SC 2013.28.671 (3 specimens), SC 2013.28.672, SC 2013.28.673 (4 specimens), SC 2013.28.674 (4 specimens), SC 2013.28.675, SC 2013.28.676 (4 specimens), SC 2013.28.903 (Fig. 29C–E), SC 2013.28.904 (Fig. 29F–H), SC 2013.28.907, SC 2013.28.910 (1007 specimens).
Description
In addition to Diplodus sp., at least two other sparid tooth morphotypes occur in the Catahoula Formation. One morphotype, shown in Fig. 29C–H, is represented by low- and high-crowned specimens. Low-crowned specimens have a weakly to moderately convex occlusal surface (compare Fig. 29D to G) and circular to ovate occlusal outline (compare Fig. 29C to F). High-crowned specimens are cylindrical with a very convex occlusal surface and circular occlusal outline. Regardless of crown height, there is a conspicuous basal band that is distinguished by a weak cingulum (Fig. 29G). In basal view, a large pulp cavity is framed by a thick dentine wall with a thick external enameloid covering (Fig. 29E, H).
Another morphotype is like that shown in Fig. 29I–J. These teeth are also of variable height, but all have a very convex labial face and less convex lingual face. In profile view, the crown is medially curved and the labial and lingual faces are asymmetrically divided by blunt carinae that may or may not reach the crown base (Fig. 29I). In basal view, the tooth base has a circular to slightly oval outline, and the central pulp cavity varies in size but is framed by a wall of dentine covered with thick external enameloid (Fig. 29J).
Remarks
Teeth within the jaws of extant Sparidae that we examined can be differentiated into incisiform, lateral, and molariform types. Incisiform teeth are located along the anterior margin of tooth plates, whereas lateral teeth occur along the lateral margins (i.e., Fig. 29I). Molariform teeth occur on the main body of a pharyngeal tooth plate and form most of a triturating surface (i.e., Fig. 29C, F). The lateral teeth identified as Diplodus sp. (see above) are easily separated from those assigned to Sparidae indet. by their thinness and sinuous anterior and posterior margins.

description: We present deep near-infrared Js, H, and Ks band imaging of a field around MS1054-03, a massive cluster at z=0.83. The observations were carried out with ISAAC at the ESO VLT as part of the Faint InfraRed Extragalactic Survey (FIRES). The total integration time amounts to 25.9h in Js, 24.4h in H, and 26.5h in Ks, divided nearly equally between four pointings covering 5.5'x5.3'. The 3-sigma total limiting AB magnitudes for point sources from the shallowest to deepest pointing are Js=26.0-26.2, H=25.5-25.8, and Ks=25.3-25.7. The effective spatial resolution of the coadded images has FWHM=0.48", 0.46", and 0.52" in Js, H, and Ks. We complemented the ISAAC data with deep optical imaging using existing HST WFPC2 mosaics in the F606W and F814W filters and new U, B and V band data from VLT FORS1. We constructed a Ks-band limited multicolour source catalogue to Ks(total,AB)=25 (about 5-sigma for point sources). The catalogue contains 1858 objects, of which 1663 have eight-band photometry. We describe the observations, data reduction, source detection and photometric measurements method. We present the number counts, colour distributions, and photometric redshifts z_ph of the catalogue sources. We find that our counts at the faint end 22=0.078. The MS1054-03 field observations complement our HDF-South data set with nearly five times larger area at about 0.7 brighter magnitudes. [ABRIDGED]

description: Second harmonic generation (SHG) is a fundamental nonlinear optical phenomenon widely used both for experimental probes of materials and for application to optical devices. Even-order nonlinear optical responses including SHG generally require breaking of inversion symmetry, and thus have been utilized to study noncentrosymmetric materials. Here, we study theoretically the SHG in inversion-symmetric Dirac and Weyl semimetals under a DC current which breaks the inversion symmetry by creating a nonequilibrium steady state. Based on analytic and numerical calculations, we find that Dirac and Weyl semimetals exhibit strong SHG upon application of finite current. Our experimental estimation for a Dirac semimetal Cd$_3$As$_2$ and a magnetic Weyl semimetal Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$ suggests that the induced susceptibility $χ^{(2)}$ for practical applied current densities can reach $10^5~\mathrm{pm}\cdot\mathrm{V}^{-1}$ with mid-IR or far-IR light. This value is 10$^2$-10$^4$ times larger than those of typical nonlinear optical materials. We also discuss experimental approaches to observe the current-induced SHG and comment on current-induced SHG in other topological semimetals in connection with recent experiments.

description: Price series for three wool types sold in Sydney are tested for the presence of serial correlation using the von Neuman ratio. The results indicate that it is unusual to find significant serial correlation between prices during a single sale. These results have implications for the use of various statistical techniques in wool marketing research and for buying tactics in the market generally.

description: Among the allowed representations of extended supersymmetry in six dimensions there are exotic chiral multiplets that, instead of a graviton, contain mixed-symmetry spin-2 tensor fields. Notably, an $\mathcal{N}=(4,0)$ multiplet has a four index exotic graviton and it was conjectured that an interacting theory based on this multiplet could arise as a strong coupling limit of M theory compactified on $T^6$. We present an algebraic study of these multiplets and their possible embedding into the framework of exceptional field theory, finding in particular that the six-dimensional momenta do not correspond to a conventional spacetime section. When compactified on a circle, the six-dimensional multiplets give rise to the same degrees of freedom as five-dimensional supergravity theories with the same number of supersymmetries. However, by considering anomalies (computed using the product multiplets construction) and the generation of Chern-Simons couplings, we find reason to doubt that their dynamics will agree with the five-dimensional gravity theories. We propose an alternative picture, similar to F-theory, in which particular fixed-volume $T^3$-fibered spacetimes play a central role, suggesting that only on compactification to three-dimensions will one make contact with the dynamics of supergravity.

description: One country's exports of a particular commodity are usually imperfect substitutes for similar exports from other countries. Consequently, the price elasticity of export demand involves unknown cross elasticities between sub-groups of the commodity. However, there are constraints on the relative magnitudes of all the sub-group elasticities. These make it possible to assess the degree to which the whole commodity elasticity divided by the market share is an over-estimate of the export elasticity.

description: Ancient DNA is a valuable tool for investigating genetic and evolutionary history that can also provide detailed profiles of the lives of ancient individuals. In this study, we develop a generalised computational approach to detect aneuploidies (atypical autosomal and sex chromosome karyotypes) in the ancient genetic record and distinguish such karyotypes from contamination. We confirm that aneuploidies can be detected even in low-coverage genomes ( ~ 0.0001-fold), common in ancient DNA. We apply this method to ancient skeletal remains from Britain to document the first instance of mosaic Turner syndrome (45,X0/46,XX) in the ancient genetic record in an Iron Age individual sequenced to average 9-fold coverage, the earliest known incidence of an individual with a 47,XYY karyotype from the Early Medieval period, as well as individuals with Klinefelter (47,XXY) and Down syndrome (47,XY, + 21). Overall, our approach provides an accessible and automated framework allowing for the detection of individuals with aneuploidies, which extends previous binary approaches. This tool can facilitate the interpretation of burial context and living conditions, as well as elucidate past perceptions of biological sex and people with diverse biological traits.

description: The paper sets out two adjustments for taxation data when income distribution is relevant. The adjustments are used on income series for primary producers and wholesale-retail trading and results compared. Little difference is found between the two income series though the latter, years show the wholesale-retail traders series continuing on an upward trend, while the primary producers series appears to climb at a slower rate or has flattened out. An examination of income led to similar conclusions though these figures seem to imply that in both industries there is a hard core of poverty, individuals who can neither raise their income nor move out of the industry.

description: Analysis of INTEGRAL Core Program and public Open Time observations performed up to April 2005 provides a sample of 62 active galactic nuclei in the 20-100 keV band above a flux limit of ~1.5x10^-11 erg/cm2/s. Most(42) of the sources in the sample are Seyfert galaxies, almost equally divided between type 1 and 2 objects, 6 are blazars and 14 are still unclassified. Excluding the blazars, the average redshift of our sample is 0.021 while the mean luminosity is Log(L) = 43.45. We find that absorption is present in 65% of the objects with 14% of the total sample due to Compton thick active galaxies. In agreement with both Swift/BAT team results and 2-10 keV studies, the fraction of absorbed objects decreases with the 20-100 keV luminosity. All Seyfert 2s in our sample are absorbed as are 33% of Seyfert 1s. The present data highlight the capability of INTEGRAL to probe the extragalactic gamma-ray sky and to find new and/or absorbed active galaxies.

description: The polaron, an electron dressed with HCB excitations, remains light even in the strong coupling limit as its effective mass remains of the order of the free electron mass. This result is in a sharp contrast to the Holstein model where the electron effective mass increases exponentially with the electron-phonon coupling. HCB degrees of freedom mediate the attractive potential between two electrons that form a bound singlet bipolaron state at any non-zero coupling strength. In the low-frequency regime of the electron spectral function we observe a quasi-particle (QP) band that is separated from the continuum of states only in the central part of the Brillouin zone. The quasiparticle weight approaches zero as the QP band enters the continuum where it obtains a finite lifetime. At finite temperature an electron can annihilate thermally excited HCB's. Such thermally activated processes lead to a buildup of the spectral weight below the QP band. While the investigated model bears a resemblance with the Holstein model, we point out many important differences that originate from the binary HCB excitation spectrum, which in turn mimics spin-$1\over 2$ degrees of freedom

Occupational mould exposure and respiratory disease morbidity among BC lumber mill workers
Creators: name: Ronald, Lisa Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Background: Previous studies have found woodworkers to be at an increased risk for nonmalignant respiratory disease (NMRD) compared to control populations, and mould exposure has been suggested as a possible cause of NMRD in woodworkers. The main objectives of this thesis were to develop a predictive model of mould exposure among BC lumber mill workers and to assess the risk of NMRD associated with mould exposure within a cohort of BC lumber mill workers. Methods: In the first study, multivariate linear regression modeling was applied to 223 personal samples of B-(l,3)-glucan (a marker of mould exposure) collected at four BC lumber mills, to produce a predictive model of mould exposure among workers. In the second study, quantitative exposure values derived from the predictive model were assigned retrospectively to a cohort of 11,200 BC lumber mill workers (employed at one of fourteen BC mills between 1979 and 1994 for at least one year) to develop cumulative exposure estimates. Morbidity was assessed using hospital discharge records (April 1, 1985 and July 31, 1997) obtained from the BC linked Health Database. Exposure gradients among hospitalrzation rates for any NMRD (ICD9=460-519), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, ICD9=490- 92, 496) and asthma (ICD9=493) were assessed using Poisson regression, with workers in low exposure categories acting as the reference population. Results: A total of 1097 cases of any NMRD, 256 cases of COPD and 97 cases of asthma were included in analyses. After controlling for age, calendar period and race (and employment in Western Red Cedar mills for asthma analyses), there was evidence of an increase in COPD risk among high and moderate exposed workers at no exposure lagging and lagging up to 5 years. There was some evidence of a link between exposure and asthma, though no clear trends were apparent, and no evidence of a link with any respiratory disease. Conclusion: This study provided evidence of a link between cumulative mould exposure and hospitalrzation due to COPD among woodworkers. Further studies with greater power and better control of possible conflunders are needed to fully assess dose-response relationships between mould exposure and NMRD morbidity among BC woodworkers.

description: Our economic perspective of the pollution problem characterizes that problem as involving a conflict between the consumption of two broad classes of goods--physical (or produced) commodities and the direct consumption of 'clean environment'. After considering the relative merits of market and political decision-making processes used to achieve appropriate social choices between the consumption of physical goods and 'clean environment', we focus on the alternative policy options for pollution control. The main conclusion we reach is that, in general, fiscal instruments (taxes and subsidies) are a more efficient means of controlling pollution than the widespread use of regulations or other legal instruments.

description: Spectra of one-electron and collective excitations in narrow-band ferromagnets with unquenched orbital moments are calculated in various theoretical models. The interaction of spin and orbital excitations with conduction electrons results in the damping of the former which, however, turns out to be rather small; therefore, apart from usual spin waves, well-defined orbitons can exist. Non-quasiparticle states occur in the electron energy spectrum near the Fermi energy due to this interaction. The criteria of stability of the saturated spin and orbital ferromagnetic ordering are considered. Possible effects of orbital ordering in magnetite and in colossal magnetoresistance manganites are discussed.

description: We explore the possibility of extrapolating state of the art lattice QCD calculations of nucleon form factors to the physical regime. We find that the lattice results can be reproduced using the Light Front Cloudy Bag Model by letting its parameters be analytic functions of the quark mass. We then use the model to extend the lattice calculations to large values of Q^{2} of interest to current and planned experiments. These functions are also used to define extrapolations to the physical value of the pion mass, thereby allowing us to study how the predicted zero in G_{E}(Q^{2})/G_{M}(Q^{2}) varies as a function of quark mass.

description: We report low-temperature thermal expansion measurements on the bilayer ruthenate Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ as a function of magnetic field applied perpendicular to the Ruthenium-oxide planes. The field-dependence of the c-axis expansion coefficient indicates the accumulation of entropy close to 8 Tesla, related to an underlying quantum critical point. The latter is masked by two first-order metamagnetic transitions which bound a regime of enhanced entropy. Outside this region the singular thermal expansion behavior is compatible with the predictions of the itinerant theory for a two-dimensional metamagnetic quantum critical end point.

description: We use dust masses ($M_{dust}$) derived from far-infrared data and molecular gas masses ($M_{mol}$) based on CO luminosity, to calibrate proxies based on a combination of the galaxy Balmer decrement, disk inclination and gas metallicity. We use such proxies to estimate $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$ in the local SDSS sample of star-forming galaxies (SFGs). We study the distribution of $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$ along and across the Main Sequence (MS) of SFGs. We find that $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$ increase rapidly along the MS with increasing stellar mass ($M_*$), and more marginally across the MS with increasing SFR (or distance from the relation). The dependence on $M_*$ is sub-linear for both $M_{dust}$ and $M_{mol}$. Thus, the fraction of dust ($f_{dust}$) and molecular gas mass ($f_{mol}$) decreases monotonically towards large $M_*$. The star formation efficiency (SFE, the inverse of the molecular gas depletion time) depends strongly on the distance from the MS and it is constant along the MS. As nearly all galaxies in the sample are central galaxies, we estimate the dependence of $f_{dust}$ and $f_{gas}$ on the host halo mass and find a tight anti-correlation. As the region where the MS is bending is numerically dominated by massive halos, we conclude that the bending of the MS is due to lower availability of molecular gas mass in massive halos rather than a lower efficiency in forming stars.

description: In the framework of the LDA+U approximation we propose the direct way of calculation of crystal-field excitation energy and apply it to La and Y titanates. The method developed can be useful for comparison with the results of spectroscopic measurements because it takes into account fast relaxations of electronic system. For titanates these relaxation processes reduce the value of crystal-field splitting by $\sim30%$ as compared with the difference of LDA one electron energies. However, the crystal-field excitation energy in these systems is still large enough to make an orbital liquid formation rather unlikely and experimentally observed isotropic magnetism remains unexplained.

description: Due to inadequate pharmaceutical wastewater treatment, anticancer contaminants from the pharmaceutical industry frequently end up in the aquatic environment where they endanger aquatic life and humans. As a result, the appropriate treatment of wastewater that contains anticancer agents is crucial for pollution prevention. The purpose of this work is to assess the effectiveness of a Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite as an adsorbent to remove of the chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin (DOX) from aqueous solution. SEM, XRD, BET, FT-IR, Zeta potential, and point of zero charge analysis were used to study the surface and structural characteristics of the Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite. Via the proposed treatment, 804.84 mg/g elimination was successful under the following circumstances: pH = 6; Fe3O4@ZIF-8 dose = 0.02 g/25 mL; DOX concentration = 1.22x10−3 mol; adsorption time = 100 min; and shaking speed = 200 rpm. A investigation of isotherms shown that the Langmuir equation and experimental data suited each other quite well. The adsorption of DOX on Fe3O4@ZIF-8 was endothermic and spontaneous, in accordance with thermodynamic properties. Furthermore, the elimination of DOX was enhanced by the rise in solution temperature. The kinetic analysis revealed that the pseudo-second order was fitted by the model. The suggested adsorption method could recycle Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite six times, with a modest reduction in its ability for adsorption. For all XRD reflection peaks, physical characteristics including strain rates were computed and the dislocation of was 4.7 × 10−6. Investigate the activity of the DOX towards COVID-19, breast and prostate cancer using molecular docking.

description: This report evaluates the world rice industry for the 1998-2010 period by using the World Rice Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, the weather, and technological change. This report evaluates three scenarios: the base scenario, the partial trade liberalization scenario in Japan and South Korea, and the full trade liberalization scenario. The partial trade liberalization scenario includes a partial liberalization of rice imports in Japan and South Korea from the year completing the minimum market access commitments under the UR agreement to 2010. The full trade liberalization scenario includes a full liberalization of rice imports in Japan and South Korea from the year completing the minimum market access commitments under the UR agreement to 2010 in Japan and 2014 in South Korea. Both trade liberalization scenarios result in higher world rice price for both japonica and indica rice and lower domestic rice price and production in both Japan and South Korea.

description: One of the major trade policy problems identified by U.S. interests, including grower groups, traders, and policymakers, is that of pricing transparency. This has been a gnawing issue generally related to the pricing practices of competitor exporting countries with state trading enterprises (STEs). The transparency problem generally refers to the inability to observe rivals' terms of trade (including price, quality, credit, etc.) and is normally associated with commercial exporters competing against STE rivals. The perception being the less transparent competitors (STEs) would have a strategic advantage. A game theory model of bidding competition was developed to simulate the effects of information asymmetry amongst rivals. A Bayes-Nash equilibrium was used to derive equilibrium solutions. Several stylized examples were used to illustrate aspects of competition and to analyze effects on bidding strategies. Results indicate that: 1) anything that reduces uncertainties among rivals would reduce equilibrium bids and prices; 2) bidding situations in which there is less transparency have the effect of increasing bids and prices to buyers, and payoffs to sellers; and 3) increases in the number of rivals have the effect of reducing bids and mitigating the informational advantages of STEs. In all cases, less transparent sellers have an advantage in bidding competition relative to more transparent sellers. That advantage in our stylized case was in the area of 1-2$/mt. However, that advantage is mitigated with an increase in the number of transparent rivals and in the case where more transparent players have acted as agents for an STE and have more information about costs of an STE. Further, cessation of exports under U.S. EEP programs should have decreased the transparency of U.S. firms, increasing their competitiveness in the international grain trade.

description: The objective of this study is to analyze major issues the U.S. sugar industry is facing or will face in the near future and the impacts of alternative trade liberalization policies in the United States and the European Union (EU) on the U.S. sugar industry. Special attention is given to regional competitiveness in sugar production in the United States. A global sugar policy simulation model was used for this study. This study indicates that most sugar producing regions may be able to survive at current costs and asset values if both the United States and the EU liberalize their sugar trade, while sugar subsidies remain in other countries. However, if only the United States eliminates its sugar programs, all U.S. sugar producing regions would be threatened.

description: The proximity effect opens ways to transfer properties from one material into another and is especially important in two-dimensional materials. In van der Waals heterostructures, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) can be used to enhance the spin-orbit coupling of graphene leading to the prediction of gate controllable spin-to-charge conversion (SCC). Here, we report for the first time and quantify the SHE in graphene proximitized with WSe$_2$ up to room temperature. Unlike in other graphene/TMD devices, the sole SCC mechanism is the spin Hall effect and no Rashba-Edelstein effect is observed. Importantly, we are able to control the SCC by applying a gate voltage. The SCC shows a high efficiency, measured with an unprecedented SCC length larger than 20 nm. These results show the capability of two-dimensional materials to advance towards the implementation of novel spin-based devices and future applications.

Everyday Religion among Turkish Speaking Migrants in the Northwest of England

description: Abstract Drawing on interviews and participant observation, this thesis explores everyday Islamic practices of Turkish-speaking (TS) migrants in the Northwest of England. One Northwest city was chosen as the main geographical hub, while participants from other towns and cities in the region were also recruited. The study examines how religious practices are negotiated and reconfigured in the lives of TS migrants, and the ways that these religious practices become a conduit for maintaining a social and cultural connection with the homeland. More precisely, I explore how TS migrants’ interpretations of Islam are embedded in different aspects of their everyday lives. Although scholars envision the theory of everyday religion in slightly different ways, this thesis clarifies that looking for religion in social spaces through the binary between official and unofficial religion is not applicable in Islam. Therefore, this thesis offers an intervention into everyday religion theory from the perspective of a non-Christian tradition by filling a gap regarding how and where Islam is mobilised, invoked, or practised in a specific context. The overall conclusion demonstrates that TS migrants dynamically and proactively develop what religion (Islam) means to them within material (Islamic remittances, food, sahur, iftar) and immaterial aspects (naming practices) of their lives. I argue that religion is not only about the obligatory (fasting, zekat), but it is also about mundane, banal aspects of life, such as naming practices or food consumption during Ramadan. There are continuums between the text and the context, between the highly ritualised (obligatory) and the ordinary (banal) everyday religious practices. Therefore, the migrant position of the research participants (context) affects how they choose to practice Islam, which Islamic calendar to follow, where and how to discharge the obligation of almsgiving and other Islamic donations (sadaka, kurban), and what to name their children. The impact of context on everyday religion is explored through three different topics within this TS Muslim community. The original fieldwork and theoretical framing contribute to studies on everyday religion, Muslims in Britain, and TS migrants. This thesis concludes that Islam in everyday life through Ramadan, Islamic charitable giving, and naming practices challenges current theoretical understandings of everyday religion. Key words: Everyday Religion, Turkish-speaking migrants, Muslims in Britain.

description: Particle number fluctuations are studied in relativistic Bose and Fermi gases. The calculations are done within both the grand canonical and canonical ensemble. The fluctuations in the canonical ensemble are found to be different from those in the grand canonical one. Effects of quantum statistics increase in the grand canonical ensemble for large chemical potential. This is, however, not the case in the canonical ensemble. In the limit of large charge density a strongest difference between the grand canonical and canonical ensemble results is observed.

description: The objective of this study was to estimate some economic values of Mud Lake, a managed, lacustrine wetland on the Minnesota-South Dakota border. Several outputs of Mud Lake were identified and an economic value was estimated for each. Flood control was valued at approximately $440 per acre, based on dollar damages prevented; water supply, using public utility revenues, was valued at $94 per acre; fish/wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics were valued at about $21 per acre using the Contingent Valuation Method; and corrective expenditures were used to evaluate water quality at a negative per acre value of $180. When capitalized at 6 percent, the estimated total annual value of these four outputs is $6,250 per acre. These values can assist managers and policy makers in making decisions regarding the opportunity costs of Mud Lake management options or of wetland alterations or preservation. These snapshot values of Mud Lake "at the margin" are estimated under the assumption that all other wetlands and water resources in the region are unchanged.

description: Due to inadequate pharmaceutical wastewater treatment, anticancer contaminants from the pharmaceutical industry frequently end up in the aquatic environment where they endanger aquatic life and humans. As a result, the appropriate treatment of wastewater that contains anticancer agents is crucial for pollution prevention. The purpose of this work is to assess the effectiveness of a Fe3O4@ZIF-8 nanocomposite as an adsorbent to remove of the chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin (DOX) from aqueous solution.

description: The influence of intraphase diffusion on the oxidation of toluene over manganese-based oxide, MnFeOx, under isothermal conditions was investigated. The one-dimensional (1D) heterogeneous model was developed to explain the experimental results. The model can be applied under certain operating conditions, i.e. conditions with negligible resistance to external mass transfer. The article describes the numerical solution of the equations of the proposed model. The relevance of the 1D heterogeneous model compared to the 1D pseudohomogeneous model was also emphasized. Validation of the proposed models was carried out by comparing with experimentally measured results. Both models were found to describe the experimental system studied quite well, with the 1D heterogeneous model providing better insight into the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and the rate of intraphase diffusion.
