The Comparative Study on Molecular Phylogenetics and Development of Microsatellite Primers From Durian Chloroplast Genomes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Based on the chloroplast genomes, the phylogenetic relationship of durian cultivars was visualized. Furthermore, 13 SSR primer pairs were designed and could be applied for genetic diversity and genotyping studies. ABSTRACT Durian, or Durio zibethinus, is an exotic fruit with high economic value in Southeast Asia.

Advancing Tests of Relativistic Gravity via Laser Ranging to Phobos [PDF]

, 2010
Phobos Laser Ranging (PLR) is a concept for a space mission designed to advance tests of relativistic gravity in the solar system. PLR's primary objective is to measure the curvature of space around the Sun, represented by the Eddington parameter $\gamma$

Two-particle angular correlations in p+p and Cu+Cu collisions at PHOBOS [PDF]

, 2006
We present results on two-particle angular correlations in p+p and Cu+Cu collisions over a broad range of ($\eta$,$\phi$). The PHOBOS detector has a uniquely large angular coverage for inclusive charged particles.
