The monoclonal antibody NEMO is directed against a molecule expressed by human cells of the melanocytic lineage. Although obtained by conventional immunization and fusion procedures, NEMO consists solely of kappa light chain. SDS/PAGE analysis indicates that the kappa chains are present as both monomers and dimers. When these two forms were separated by gel filtration, only the monomeric form b...

M odern electronic devices contain hundreds of millions of fieldeffect transistors, which perform a basic function of switching between two states, commonly known as ‘0’ and ‘1’. The idea of replacing the semiconductor circuits that are presently used as switches with single molecules is a major driving force in the field of molecular electronics. To date, various molecular switches have been p...

In analyses of algorithms, a substantial amount of effort has often to be spent on the discussion of special cases. For example, when the analysis considers the cases X < Y and X > Y separately, one might have to be especially careful about what happens when X = Y . On the other hand, experience tells us that when a yet unregarded special case of this kind is discovered, one nearly always finds...

Goodman’s grue-bleen paradox relies on the claim that the predicate “green” is not simpler than the predicate “grue”, and that, for that reason, the choice between them is arbitrary. It is argued that this claim can only be made in a restricted model, in which functions have primitive names but particular values do not. In more natural models, which allow values to have proper names as well, th...
