A multiparty computation protocol is said to be adaptively secure if it retains its security in the presence of an adversary who can adaptively corrupt participants as the protocol proceeds. This is in contrast to a static corruption model where the adversary is forced to choose which participants to corrupt before the protocol begins. A central tool for constructing adaptively secure protocols...

Fd. PsaD and PsaE facilitate Fd docking, and PsaE may be The PsaD subunit of photosystem I (PSI) i s a peripheral protein involved in cyclic electron flow "nd PSI (Chimis, 1996). that provides a docking site for ferredoxin and interacts with the PsaD is a crucial component on the reducing side of PSI. PsaB, PsaC, and PsaL subunits of PSI. We used site-directed muThe insertional inactivation of ...

This volume is the seventh in a series entitled "Biological Macromolecules" and the third of a subseries on subunits in biological systems. There are four articles in this volume: one by Nemethy on protein folding and allostery, a lengthy review of antibody structure and function by Cathou and Dorrington, a chapter by Sund, Markam, and Koberstein on glutamate dehydrogenase and a concluding arti...

I clusters ([Fe-S] clusters) represent one of nature’s simplest, functionally versatile, and perhaps most ancient prosthetic groups (1). Among the familiar types of [Fe-S] clusters are [2Fe2S] and [4Fe-4S] clusters, which usually are attached to their protein partners by four cysteine thiol ligands (Fig. 1). Proteins that contain one or more [Fe-S] clusters are commonly called [Fe-S] proteins, ...

I propose a comparison-induced distortion theory account of body-size judgments wherein verbal body-size comparisons (e.g., "Kimberly is thinner than Jane," Choplin & Hummel, 2002, 2005) bias judgments of body-sizes. Two experiments tested predictions of this account. Unpredicted by previous models, Experiment 1 demonstrated that verbal comparisons affect body-size judgments even though the dis...

CMldmyuOnas rihardii cells, growning photoautotropbical under air, excreted to the culture medium much higher amounts of N02 and NH4 I under ble than under red fight. Under shmilar conditions, but with N02as the only nitrogen source, the cells consumed NO2 and excreted NH4, at shilar rates under blue and red light. In the presence of N03and air with 2% CO2 (v/v), no excretion of NOand NH1+ occu...

A Cladophora growth model (CGM) is calibrated and validated here to simulate attached and sloughed Cladophora biomass in daily time-steps in an urbanized location of Lake Ontario, using two years of collected input data and independent measurements of Cladophora biomass. The CGM is used to hindcast Cladophora growth using multiplicative factors of seasonal minimal tissue phosphorus concentratio...

background: very few studies have utilized specific criteria to assess mental disorders in brain tumor patients. this study aimed to diagnose mental disorders in this population using dsm-iv (depression, sleep, and mood) criteria. methods: from march 2007 to july 2009, the surgically treated patients with intracranial neoplasm were included in the study. these patients were examined in an ambul...

EDITOR—The history of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a good illustration of the delineation of dominantly inherited family cancer syndromes. The identification of this syndrome is the result of the combination of two kinds of evidence, firstly, a number of reports on particular familial aggregations 2 and, secondly, systematic family studies of childhood sarcomas. Among these studies, the decisi...
