The four volumes embodied all of Hobsbawm's best qualities – the sweep combined with the telling anecdote and statistical grasp, the attention to the nuance and significance of events and words, and above all, perhaps, the unrivalled powers of synthesis (nowhere better displayed than in a classic summary of mid-19th century capitalism on the very first page of the second volume).
Generally, positive values of Tajima's D are interpreted to indicate balancing selection and/or decreasing population size, values near zero indicate neutrality, and negative values indicate an excess of rare alleles resulting from a selective sweep combined with recent population expansion or purifying selection [ 8, 21].
Selective sweeps combined with hybridization between different species can also cause homogenization of species after a hybridization event, when the parasites spread and drag along the associated mitochondrial haplotype.
The numerical results associated to the multi-points boundary value problems are obtained based on the Forward-Backward Sweep Method combined with progressive-regressive Runge-Kutta fourth-order schemes.
It also capped a three-game sweep that, combined with Houston's trade-deadline acquisitions of pitcher Scott Kazmir, who was dominant Thursday night, and center fielder Carlos Gomez, could shift the balance of power in the American League West, a division the Astros now lead by two games over the Angels.

It sounds epic in sweep, especially when combined with the laden, potent themes, the intertwining of politics and sexuality, the cauterizing of emotional wounds and grievances, and the repetition of places and personalities.
Various theoretical works predict that, within a genome, there should be a positive correlation between the rate of recombination and genetic diversity at neutral loci under different regimes such as common selective sweeps, genetic hitchhiking combined with low mutation rates and/or background selection [ 9, 10].
Unlike any of the dozen substantial works he had put out there already, it is a compact and nearly footnote-free first-person essay on the whole sweep of United States history, combined with a memoir.
The use of oxygen scavengers combined with sweep gas and vacuum pump schemes further increased the system efficiency.
