Horizontal gene transfer ( HGT) or lateral gene transfer ( LGT) [ 1][ 2][ 3] is the movement of genetic material between organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring ( reproduction ). [ 4] HGT is an important factor in the evolution of many organisms. [ 5][ 6] HGT is influencing scientific understanding ...
Horizontal gene transfer ( HGT) refers to the transfer of genes between distant branches on the tree of life. In evolution, it can scramble the information needed to reconstruct the phylogeny of organisms, how they are related to one another. HGT can also help scientists to reconstruct and date the tree of life, as a gene transfer can be used ...
The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event ( GOBE ), was an evolutionary radiation of animal life throughout [1] the Ordovician period, 40 million years after the Cambrian explosion, [2] whereby the distinctive Cambrian fauna fizzled out to be replaced with a Paleozoic fauna rich in suspension feeder and pelagic animals.
A cantilever in a traditionally timber framed building is called a jetty or forebay. In the southern United States, a historic barn type is the cantilever barn of log construction . Temporary cantilevers are often used in construction. The partially constructed structure creates a cantilever, but the completed structure does not act as a ...
DFFITS. In statistics, DFFIT and DFFITS ("difference in fit (s)") are diagnostics meant to show how influential a point is in a linear regression, first proposed in 1980. [ 1] DFFIT is the change in the predicted value for a point, obtained when that point is left out of the regression: where and are the prediction for point i with and without ...

Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl (/ ˈ h ʊ s ɜːr l / HUUSS-url, [14] [15] [16] US also / ˈ h ʊ s ər əl / HUUSS-ər-əl, [17] German: [ˈɛtmʊnt ˈhʊsɐl]; [18] 8 April 1859 – 27 April 1938 [19]) was an Austrian-German philosopher and mathematician who established the school of phenomenology.
In mammals, the vulva ( pl.: vulvas or vulvae) consists of the external female genitalia. For humans, it includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, urinary meatus, vaginal introitus, hymen, and openings of the vestibular glands. The vulva includes the entrance to the vagina, which leads to the uterus, and provides ...
