Abstract This paper presents a taxonomy of indexicalities attached to Linguistic Landscapes in the city of Manchester, UK, which utilise Vietnamese writing and imagery. The taxonomy contrasts the employment of Vietnamese as a foreign language by a British restaurant chain, as a heritage language by second-generation Vietnamese businesses, and as a ...

Miniaturization of 2 × 4 90-Degree Hybrid Optical Couplers
In this work we study the limits of miniaturization of a 90-degree hybrid coupler working in the L, C and S bands, with respect to a number of performance parameters aimed at its application for balanced detection. We investigate the main effects responsible for the degradation of the performance of the devices during miniaturization, and establish the

On unrooted and root-uncertain variants of several well-known phylogenetic network problems [PDF]
The hybridization number problem requires us to embed a set of binary rooted phylogenetic trees into a binary rooted phylogenetic network such that the number of nodes with indegree two is minimized.

Hybridity, possibility: Degrees of marketization in tradeable permit systems [PDF]
Tradeable permit systems for allocating rights to impact the environment have become an important part of the regulatory toolkit over the last 35 years. Informed by elegant neoclassical economic thought, these regulatory markets promise lowest-cost environmental benefit by delegating decision-making to market participants.

Genetic diversity analysis and DNA fingerprinting of tomato breeding lines using ssr markers
There is a need to expand the information on genetic relationships between tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) lines to improve hybridization breeding. The genetic diversity and relationships among 24 tomato lines were evaluated by simple sequence repeat ...

Intra- and Interspecies Analyses of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Gene Family Reveal Independent Evolution in Primates and Rodents [PDF]
Various rodent and primate DNAs exhibit a stronger intra- than interspecies cross-hybridization with probes derived from the N-terminal domain exons of human and rat carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-like genes.
