GTP hydrolysis, for the translocation of the mRNA chain and the tRNA molecules. Analysis of the three-dimensional structures of unbound ribosomal subunits from eubacteria (Figure 1A; Schluenzen et al., 2000; Wimberly et al., 2000; Harms et al., 2001) and archaea (Ban et al., 2000) as well as of the entire ribosome (Yusupov et al., 2001) clearly showed that the centers of the major ribosomal act...

The Sanak-Baranof plutonic belt (SBPB) includes a series of biotite tonalite, granodiorite, and granite neartrench plutons that intrude the Campanian to Eocene flysch of the Chugach-Prince William terrane (CPW) for 2100 km along the southern Alaskan margin (Hudson et al., 1979; Hill et al., 1981; Bradley et al., 2003; Haeussler et al., 2003). SBPB intrusions have been interpreted to be the resu...

Research suggests that exposure to tobacco marketing increases smoking by adolescents (Wellman et al., 2006; DiFranza et al., 2006; Paynter & Edwards, 2009; Lovato et al., 2003) and exposing young people to food marketing increases their food intake and the likelihood of obesity (Hastings et al., 2003; Harris et al., 2009; Nestle, 2006). It has been debated whether there is also a causal relati...

Instrumented spinal fusion surgery is increasingly performed in the treatment of degenerative disorders, Spondylolisthesis, deformity, trauma and tumors affecting the spine (Davis, 1994; Katz, 1995). In-vitro and In-vivo studies using the free hand or fluoroscopically assisted techniques documented breaching of the pedicle in 3-55% (Amiot et al., 2000; Belmont et al., 2001; Belmont et al., 2002...

This appendix outlines some of the more prevalent techniques for controlling and for detecting common method bias. These include (1) Harman’s single factor test (Podsakoff et al. 2003), (2) partial correlation technique (Podsakoff et al. 2003), (3) multitrait–multimethod (MMTM) (Shadish et al. 2002), (4) the correlation marker technique, (5) confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) marker technique (...

Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including polychlorinated dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs), by microorganisms has received much attention in connection with natural attenuation and bioremediation of xenobiotic pollution (Hiraishi, 2003; Wittich, 1998). Large numbers of aromaticand PAHdegrading bacteria from polluted environments have been isolated and characterized. The so-calle...

Smoking is associated with ill health for a woman and her baby during pregnancy and throughout the remainder of the lives of both parties (McDermott, et al, 2002; Lux et al, 2000; Sondergaard et al, 2001). Continued smoking during pregnancy is compellingly linked with a woman’s socioeconomic status and level of education (Colman and Joyce, 2003; Lindqvist and Ãberg, 2001; Lu et al, 2001; Paters...

Faith et al. (2003) strongly criticize our paper (Posadas et al. 2001). Their criticisms are based on what they consider our “ill definitions” and “erroneous applications” of the words complementarity, endemism, and biodiversity. The objectives of our reply to Faith et al. are to demonstrate that their criticisms do not satisfy epistemological and methodological tenets and to compare some aspec...
