Categorization of species as native or nonnative using DNA sequence signatures without a complete reference library. [PDF]
New genetic diagnostic approaches have greatly aided efforts to document global biodiversity and improve biosecurity. This is especially true for organismal groups in which species diversity has been underestimated historically due to difficulties ...

Theory of microphase separation in multiple segment-type statistical multiblock copolymers with arbitrary block molecular weight distributions [PDF]
A Landau free energy is derived for the weak segregation regime (WSR) of melts belonging to a very general class of statistical multiblock copolymers, referred to as “multiple segment-type statistical multiblock copolymers.” Copolymer chains in this ...
