Cycloheximide: No ordinary bitter stimulus

No ordinary time.

Alcohol: no ordinary commodity--a summary of the second edition.

This article summarizes the contents of Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity (2nd edn). The first part of the book describes why alcohol is not an ordinary commodity, and reviews epidemiological data that establish alcohol as a major contributor to the global burden of disease, disability and death in high-, middle- and low-income countries. This section also documents how international beer and spir...

Block Jacobi for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations: no ordinary Schwarz methods

For classical discretizations of elliptic partial differential equations, like conforming finite elements or finite differences, block Jacobi methods are equivalent to classical Schwarz methods with minimal overlap, see for example [4]. This is different when the linear system (1) is obtained using DG methods. Our paper is organized as follows: in section 2 we describe several DG methods for li...

Differential covariation in taste responsiveness to bitter stimuli in rats.

Variation exists in the sensitivity of individual rodents and humans to different bitter tastants. An absence of uniform correlation in responsiveness to different bitter substances across individuals within a species suggests heterogeneity in the mechanisms underlying stimulus processing within this taste modality. Here, we examined taste responsiveness of individual rats to three bitter compo...

Cycloheximide production by Streptomyces griseus: control mechanisms of cycloheximide biosynthesis.

Cycloheximide accumulation in a fermentation medium has been shown to be the product of the balance between synthesis and degradation of this antibiotic. Glucose has been shown to prevent cycloheximide degradation. Cycloheximide has been shown to interfere with its own synthesis probably due to feedback inhibition. Approaches for increasing cycloheximide titers in the light of these findings ar...
