The derivation of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos by Hardy and Melrose [Phys.Rev.D 54, 6491 (1996)] is based on a flawed analysis of the ponderomotive force concept. Their conclusions also contain an erroneous physical assumption related to the neutrino emission in supernovae. A correct analysis shows the importance of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos in type II supernovae expl...

In a recent paper, Manning et al. (Popul Res Policy Rev 23:135–139, 2004) examine the stability of marital and cohabiting unions from the perspective of children and find that children born to cohabiting parents are more likely to experience a parental separation than children born to married parents. They find, further, that subsequent marriage among cohabiting parents is associated with incre...

Infection of stationary chick embryo fibroblasts by reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is sensitive to cytosine arabinoside, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Furthermore, the majority of the nucleic acid sequences contained in the REV genome can be detected in infected cells in the form of DNA by RNA-DNA hybridization techniques. A small portion (ca. 5%) of the REV-specific sequences can be detect...

Primary bovine muscle cell culture studies were conducted to determine whether implanting heifers had a direct effect on in vitro protein synthesis and degradation and to determine the effect of implanting heifers on longissimus muscle palatability. Feedlot heifers (n = 96) were administered one of six implant regimens to characterize their effect on in vitro amino acid uptake and protein degra...

lν decays, the slope of Isgur-Wise function and |V bc | value in potential quark model Abstract The modification of the naive potential model of the heavy meson is considered on the basis of the single-time prescription for the quark-meson form factor and the covariant choice of the quatk relative momentum. The application of the model to the description of the semileptonic decays of the beauty...

We simplify the formalism of Polder and Van Hove [Phys.Rev.B 4, 3303(1971)], which was developed to calculate the heat transfer between macroscopic and nanoscale bodies of arbitrary shape, disper-sive and adsorptive dielectric properties. In the non-retarded limit, at small distances between the bodies, the problem is reduced to the solution of an electrostatic problem. We apply the formalism t...

Purified preparations of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) appear to lack the endogenous RNase-sensitive DNA polymerase activity present in most, if not all, avian RNA tumor viruses. Although no endogenous RNA-directed DNA polymerase could be detected in REV, we have been able to demonstrate the presence of a virion-associated DNA polymerase by employing exogenous synthetic homopolymers as temp...

It is now evident that many nuclear hormone receptors can modulate target gene expression. REV-ERBα, one of the nuclear hormone receptors with the capacity to alter clock function, is critically involved in lipid metabolism, adipogenesis, and the inflammatory response. Recent studies suggest that REV-ERBα plays a key role in the mediation between clockwork and inflammation. The purpose of the c...
