ABSTRACT Free-living bacteria have evolved multiple times to become host-restricted endosymbionts.The transition from a free-living to a host-restricted lifestyle comes with a number of different genomic changes, including a massive loss of genes.In host-restricted endosymbionts, gene inactivation and genome reduction are facilitated by mobile gene

Open-ended questions have routinely been included in large-scale survey and panel studies, yet there is some perplexity about how to actually incorporate the answers to such questions into orly happy camper quantitative social science research.Tools developed recently in the domain of natural language processing offer a wide range of options for th
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are passive controllable arrays of small reflectors that direct electromagnetic energy towards or away from the target nodes, thereby allowing better management of signals and interference in a wireless network.The RIS has the potential for significantly improving the performance of wireless lost vape quest
