A Defective Auxiliary in Danish

GlialCAM, a Protein Defective in a Leukodystrophy, Serves as a ClC-2 Cl− Channel Auxiliary Subunit

Ion fluxes mediated by glial cells are required for several physiological processes such as fluid homeostasis or the maintenance of low extracellular potassium during high neuronal activity. In mice, the disruption of the Cl(-) channel ClC-2 causes fluid accumulation leading to myelin vacuolation. A similar vacuolation phenotype is detected in humans affected with megalencephalic leukoencephalo...

Auxiliary Potentials In Chiral Media

In the present paper, the expressions for scalar and vector potentials in lossless isotropic chiral media are analyzed. Propagating eigenvalues of these potentials are then obtained. Furthermore by decomposition of sources and fields in a chiral medium, we introduce the auxiliary right-and left-handed potentials and find the associated fields. These potentials are used to solve the problem of a...

Imperfect and defective outputs in production process

When is a nursing auxiliary not a 'nursing' auxiliary?

Restrictive Practices This proposed action could be termed a restrictive practice. It seems quite extraordinary that a profession may deem it acceptable to restrict people from doing work in their particular profession, while restrictive practices in force on the shop floor in industry are condemned out of hand by those same professional people. By calling a recognized body of practitioners 'pr...

Optimal lot sizing in screening processes with returnable defective items

This paper is an extension of Hsu and Hsu (Int J Ind Eng Comput 3(5):939–948, 2012) aiming to determine the optimal order quantity of product batches that contain defective items with percentage nonconforming following a known probability density function. The orders are subject to 100 % screening process at a rate higher than the demand rate. Shortage is backordered, and defective items...
