The term ‘regulatory state’ entered the vocabulary of students of European Politics over twelve years ago with the publication, in West European Politics, of Giandomenico Majone’s seminal ‘The rise of the regulatory state in Europe’ (Majone 1994). Underlying Majone’s argument was the diagnosis of two key trends, one being an overall shift towards the use of legal authority or regulation over th...

Numerous reviews and publications have summarized the approaches already in use and being developed to minimize mycotoxin contamination of maize (Agricultural Research Service, 1997a and 1997b; CAST, 1989; Robens, 1990; Jackson, DeVries and Bullerman, 1996; Sinha and Bhatnagar, 1998; Scott, 1998). Many of the strategies used for other commodities can generally also be applied to maize (McMullen...

though privileges ascribed to various facets of language learning strategy training have long been espoused with regard to varied language skills and components, the role some individual variables such as emotional intelligence might play in this respect seems to have received very scant attention. the researchers in the current study embarked on a probe into the impact of metacognitive strateg...

The tumor suppressor gene PTEN is one of the most frequently mutated genes involved in the development of human cancer (Cantley and Neel, 1999; Li et al., 1997a; Steck et al., 1997). PTEN mutations are found in a wide variety of tumors such as glioblastomas, endometrial carcinomas, advanced prostate cancers and melanoma cells (Cairns et al., 1997; Guldberg et al., 1997; Li et al., 1997a; Liu et...

RNA secondary structure, thereby allowing access to specific sequences by other RNA binding domains (Ghi-Summary et al., 2000b), the splicing factor SF1/BBP (Berglund et al., 1998), and hnRNPs K and E1/E2 (Ostareck et al., Loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) function causes the fragile X mental retardation syn-1997; Thisted et al., 2001), the RNA specificity with which FMRP bind...

Lifestyle is directly related to the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a risk dramatically elevated by obesity and inactivity. Sedentary lifestyle, inadequate eating habits, aging, educational backgrounds and the increased life expectancy observed in Brazil suggested to be the main culprits for the increased prevalence of DM2 seen in this country. Therefore, many epidemiologists have...

In a paper published in the 10:4 issue of JOCN, Heinze et al. 1998) studied a directed attention task using hierarchically organized letter Navon stimuli. On the basis of negative PET and ERP findings, they argue that``early sensory inputs are not modulated to gate global vs. local visual information differentially into the two hemispheres .'' Rather, based on positive ERP findings (an N2 effec...
