being on the right paththe 1st issue of the iranian journal of radiation research (ijrr) was published two years ago (june 2003). this journal was initiated to bring together the various disciplines of radiation oncology, radiation biology, medical physics, nuclear medicine and other related subjects to intensify the dialogue between basic and clinical researchers especially those working in ir...

The neo-Kantian apriorism of Mises and the Aristotelian apriorism of Rothbard hold that economic science can be entirely built on what Rothbard (1957) called the axiom of action. This axiom is a true a priori. This means that the starting point of economic science does not have to be tested. It is enough to use deductive reasoning to produce discursive knowledge. This position escapes positivis...

Some viruses of Archaea use an unusual egress mechanism that involves the formation of virus-associated pyramids (VAPs) on the host cell surface. At the end of the infection cycle, these structures open outward and create apertures through which mature virions escape from the cell. Here we describe in detail the structure and composition of VAPs formed by the Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped vi...

The ability of HeLa DNA polymerase alpha to utilize gapped PM2 DNAs for synthesis in a model base excision DNA repair scheme was examined. Partially depurinated PM2 DNA was incised on the 5' side of apurinic sites with HeLa apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease II, then the baseless sugar was removed and gaps of defined mean lengths were introduced at these sites by exonucleolytic digestion with H...

Haptocorrin (HC) is a circulating corrinoid binding protein with unclear function. In contrast to transcobalamin, the other transport protein in blood, HC is heavily glycosylated and binds a variety of cobalamin (Cbl) analogues. HC is present not only in blood but also in various secretions like milk, tears and saliva. No recombinant form of HC has been described so far. We report the expressio...

Abstract It is a common impression shared by many international lawyers today that the brief ‘turn to democracy’ occurred in some segments of legal scholarship early mid-1990s was, on whole, little more than detour overly excitable imagination – not exactly complete error judgement or an outright frivolity, but certainly lapse conceptual clarity and professional rigour. Whatever changes may hav...

My discussion will focus on what is arguable the main claim of Being No One: That no such things as selves exist in the world and that nobody ever was or had a self. In discussing to what extent Metzinger can be said to argue convincingly for this claim, I will also comment on his methodological use of pathology and briefly make some remarks vis-à-vis his understanding and criticism of phenomen...
