Constructs of prophecy in the former and latter prophets and other texts
Esta colecciĂłn de ensayos, producto de las reuniones del Grupo Textos ProfĂ©ticos y sus Contextos Antiguos, de la SBL, examina como se construyĂł la profecĂa en literatura bĂblica como los profetas anteriores, los profetas posteriores, CrĂłnicas, y Daniel, e incluso en el CorĂĄn. Al reconocer que estos textos no describen simplemente los fenĂłmenos profĂ©ticos, sino que mĂĄs bien representan a los profetas de acuerdo a varias categorĂas convencionales o sus propios puntos de vista individuales, los ensayos analizan la manera en la que la profecĂa y los profetas son retratados en estos escritos, con el fin de entender mejor como fueron estructurados por sus respectivos autores.This collection of essays, arising from the meetings of the SBLâs Prophetic Texts and Their Ancient Contexts Group, examines how prophecy has been constructed in biblical literature such as the Former Prophets, the Latter Prophets, Chronicles, and Daniel, and even in the Qurâan. Recognizing that these texts do not simply describe the prophetic phenomena but rather depict prophets according to various conventional categories or their own individual points of view, the essays analyze the way prophecy or prophets are portrayed in these writings to better understand how they were structured by their respective authors
Data from: Genetic mapping of two components of reproductive isolation between two sibling species of moths, Ostrinia nubilalis and O. scapulalis
We report the quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of reproductive isolation traits between Ostrinia nubilalis (the European corn borer) and its sibling species O. scapulalis (the Adzuki bean borer), focusing on two traits: mating isolation (mi) and pheromone production (Pher). Four genetic maps were generated from two backcross families, with two maps (one chromosomal map and one linkage map) per backcross. We located 165â323 AFLP markers on these four maps, resulting in the identification of 27â31 linkage groups, depending on the map considered. No-choice mating experiments with the offspring of each backcross led to the detection of at least two QTLs for mi in different linkage groups. QTLs underlying Pher were located in a third linkage group. The Z heterochromosome was identified by a specific marker (Tpi) and did not carry any of these QTLs. Finally, we considered the global divergence between the two sibling species, distortions of segregation throughout the genome, and the location and effect of mi and Pher QTLs in light of the known candidate genes for reproductive isolation within the genus Ostrinia and, more broadly, in phytophagous insects
Transverse momentum spectra of charged particles in protonâproton collisions at âs=900 GeV with ALICE at the LHC
The inclusive charged particle transverse momentum distribution is measured in protonâproton collisions at s=900 GeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector. The measurement is performed in the central pseudorapidity region (|η|<0.8) over the transverse momentum range 0.15<pT<10 GeV/c. The correlation between transverse momentum and particle multiplicity is also studied. Results are presented for inelastic (INEL) and non-single-diffractive (NSD) events. The average transverse momentum for |η|<0.8 is ăpTăINEL=0.483±0.001 (stat.)±0.007 (syst.) GeV/c and ăpTăNSD=0.489±0.001 (stat.)±0.007 (syst.) GeV/c, respectively. The data exhibit a slightly larger ăpTă than measurements in wider pseudorapidity intervals. The results are compared to simulations with the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET
