An extract of ovine and bovine pineal glands (labeled Precipitate II) has previously been shown to possess lipolytic activity on rabbit adipose tissue. This extract also causes darkening of the frog’s skin in vivo and in vitro. Both lipolytic and melanotropic activities are abolished by trypsin and chymotrypsin. Fractionation of ovine pineal Precipitate II by the sequence, chromatography on die...

Abstracf-Transverse domain boundaries propagating in the longitudinal direction at speeds one to three orders of magnitude faster than normal domain walls are responsible for most of the lower speed reversals in magnetic thin films. Using a 10-ns exposure time Kerr magnetooptic camera, these boundaries have been photographed for a variety of applied $elds in several films with thicknesses ra...

Mt Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain, and an icon for a country famous for its mammalian fauna. The distribution and abundance of small mammals on the mountain are poorly known. Here we document the distribution of shrews and rodents along an elevational gradient on the southeastern versant of Kilimanjaro. Five sites were sampled with elevational center points of 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500 a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Retroperitoneal laparoscopy (RP) may have some intrinsic advantages over transperitoneal laparoscopy (TP) in certain patients undergoing partial nephrectomy. We reviewed our experience with RP and TP partial nephrectomy to identify differences in intraoperative and postoperative parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS The records of 72 patients (45 TP, 27 RP) undergoing laparo...

Radiocarbon dating of charcoal on podzols along a transect reaching 280 kilometers north of the present tree line from Ennadai Lake indicates that former forests were burnt about 3500 years ago and again about 900 years ago. These forests probably were associated with periods of relatively mild climate.
