Response to Comment on “Rapid Evolution of Egg Size in Captive
"... Heath et al. (1) reported extremely rapid evolution of egg size in a farmed popula-tion of chinook salmon and provided data showing egg size decline in two river pop-ulations that received aggressive supple-mentation. Beacham (2) provides addition-al data from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, ..."

INVENTIVE CUBIC SYMMETRIC ENCRYP- TION SYSTEM FOR MULTIMEDIA
"... Cryptography is a security technique that must be applied in both communication sides to pro-tect the data during its transmission through the network from all kinds of attack. On the sender side, the original data will be changed into different symbols or shapes by using a known key; this is called ..."

for the moment because of their big size. However, some of the current algo-rithms are not really appropriate for use with these kinds of information. In this paper, a novel symmetric block cipher cryptography algorithm has been illustrated and discussed. The system uses an 8x8x8 cube, and each cell contains a
Population size, concentration and civil war: a geographically disaggregated analysis

, 2009
"... The paper surveys a set of hypotheses forwarded in the conflict liter-ature regarding the relationship between the size and location of popula-tion groups. The hypotheses are tested on a new dataset called ACLED that disaggregates internal conflicts into individual events. The analysis covers 14 cou ..."

Low Power Error Control for Wireless Links
- Proceedings of the 3rd Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (MobiCom'97
, 1997
"... Abstract- Energy efficiency, which directly affects battery life and portability, is perhaps the single most important design metric in hand-held computing devices capable of mobile networking over wireless radio links. By virtue of their being relatively thin clients, a high fraction of the power c ..."

Efficient gathering of correlated data in sensor networks
- In ACM Trans. on Sensor Networks
, 2008
"... In this paper, we design techniques that exploit data cor-relations in sensor data to minimize communication costs (and hence, energy costs) incurred during data gathering in a sensor network. Our proposed approach is to select a small subset of sensor nodes that may be sufficient to re-construct da ..."

We develop a set of energy-efficient distributed algorithms and competitive centralized heuristics to select a connected
On being the right (cell) size

BACKGROUND: How do the different cell types in our bodies maintain their distinctive and characteristic sizes?Althoughmuch is known about the signaling networks that stimulate or suppress cell growth, such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, this cen-tral question remains:Howdo a co ..."

common set of pathways precisely specify the appropriate size for any given cell type and physiological condi-tion? The precisionwithwhich size is controlled is demonstrated by the uniformity in cell size typically seen in tissues. Most epithelial tis-sues, for example, display a striking regularity
S11 FEASIBILITY OF CONDUCTING COMPLEX PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS IN LONDON PRIMARY SCHOOLS: THE SIZE & LUNG FUNCTION IN CHILDREN (SLIC) STUDY
"... Despite recognised ethnic differences in lung function, most reference ranges are based on White subjects. Ethnic minorities comprise 40 % of the London population, which impacts on healthcare provision. Even when available, selection of appropri-ate equations is complicated by the increase in admix ..."

As part of the Wellcome Trust SLIC study (www.ucl.ac.uk/slic) to determine the extent to which body shape, size and composition contributes to ethnic differences in lung function, we examined the feasibility of conducting complex physiological
income Size Distribution

Among the arguments that do refer explicitly to income size dis-tribution, some refer only to a single year, others to the lifetime incomes of a cohort; some refer to individuals and some to families; some to single types of incomes and some to all types combined; some

Unconditional transfers to local governments in Spain are distributed mainly according to weighted population, with weights rising with population size to account for the higher expenditure responsibilities and needs of bigger municipalities. The authors evaluate the appropriateness of these weights ..."

The results identify important scale economies
