Learning Constrained Corner Node Trajectories of a Tether Net System for Space Debris Capture [PDF]
The earth's orbit is becoming increasingly crowded with debris that poses significant safety risks to the operation of existing and new spacecraft and satellites. The active tether-net system, which consists of a flexible net with maneuverable corner nodes launched from a small autonomous spacecraft, is a promising solution for capturing and disposing ...

Interfertile oaks in an island environment: I. High nuclear genetic differentiation and high degree of chloroplast DNA sharing between Q. alnifolia and Q. coccifera in Cyprus. A multipopulation study [PDF]
The evergreen Quercus alnifolia and Q. coccifera form the only interfertile pair of oak species growing in Cyprus. Hybridization between the two species has already been observed and studied morphologically. However, little evidence exists about the extent of genetic introgression.

Microsatellite Instability as a Biomarker for PD-1 Blockade
Initial results by Le and colleagues, which were published in the June 25, 2015 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, report significant responses of cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI) to anti–PD-1 inhibitors in patients who failed ...

Molecular genetic markers and rubber breeding in Thailand : 1- Genetic mapping of the family RRIM600 x PB217by use of microsatellite markers [PDF]
Rubber breeding has long been based on conventional breeding and quantitative genetics based on phenotypic observations. Since recently, molecular genetic markers have brought new possibilities for characterizing genotypes, with view to identify ...

Cross-amplification and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers from Acacia (Senegalia) mellifera and Acacia brevispica to Acacia senegal (L.) Willd. [PDF]
Seven polymorphic microsatellite markers isolated from Acacia brevispica and Acacia mellifera were successfully cross-amplified in Acacia senegal. The loci were surveyed for polymorphism using 30 samples.

Strategies for microsatellite isolation: a review
In the last few years microsatellites have become one of the most popular molecular markers used with applications in many different fields. High polymorphism and the relative ease of scoring represent the two major features that make microsatellites of ...
