Canul-Chay et al. [1] have conducted the segregation experiment of binary granular mixtures in a bed and subjected the bed to vibration. They report that the reverse Brazil-Nut phenomenon (RBNP) was never observed in their experiments and thus conclude that such does not exist. However, we have clearly demonstrated in [2] by Molecular Dynamics simulations that the reverse Brazil-Nut problem not...

Pharmacologic levels of supplemental Zn are well established as growth promoters for newly weaned pigs. Feed-grade zinc oxide (ZnO) manufactured by the Waelz process dominates the feed-grade Zn market for pigs, and this source of ZnO also has been most heavily researched as a growth promotant for nursery pigs (Hahn and Baker, 1993; Hill et al., 1999; Mahan et al., 2000; Mavromichalis et al., 20...

In Response to Fakruddin et al. dicted to result in substitutions of amino acids at the and Apostolou et al. corresponding positions in the protein sequence. In each of these cases, individual tumor DNA samples possessed the same sequence as that of the corresponding cell line. We agree with many of the above findings, including To determine if the divergent sequences represented the frequency ...

Nightlight Christian Adoptions [3] et al. v. Thompson et al. was a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on 8 March 2001. The suit was filed because Nightlight Christian Adoptions [3], a frozen embryo [4] adoption agency, felt that the Guidelines for Research Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells [5] published by the National Institutes for Health were unla...

In the last issue, I presented a piece that called into question some of the techniques reported in two papers in high-profile journals that purported to provide statistical evidence for the linguistic status of some ancient symbol systems (Sproat 2010a). Not surprisingly the authors of those two papers took issue with a number of my claims, and have requested the opportunity to respond. The tw...

Thomson [4], et al. v. Thompson, et al. was a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on 8 May 2001 as Civil Action Number 01-CV-0973. This lawsuit was filed in hopes of gaining injunctive relief against a moratorium on the federal funding of stem cell research. The plaintiffs in the case were seven prominent scientists who performed embryonic stem cell re...

Approximately 20-30% of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma will be found, after staging, to have stage I or II disease (Anderson et al., 1982; Simon et al., 1979). Here, I consider the present state of our knowledge of the appropriate management of those with low or intermediate grade disease and the relevance of recent observations. Much of the literature combines extranodal with nodal lymph...

In reply to the study by Gonzalez-Conjero et al, we found their results on 218 Spanish White patients very interesting. As suggested in their article, there does indeed appear to be an ethnic bias and possible founder affect with regard to the W303X mutation in thrombosis patients. The frequency of both the Factor V Leiden mutation and the prothrombin 20210A variant also varies within White pop...
