INTRODUCTION There are many beauty salons in New Jersey located in areas not served by sanitary sewers. Salons in these areas discharge their liquid wastes into septic systems and/or other types of subsurface disposal systems. Prior to 1992, little information existed regarding the potential risk associated with the wastewater these salons generate. In 1992, New Jersey Department of Environment...

UNLABELLED BEAUTY (BLAST Enhanced Alignment Utility) is an enhanced version of the BLAST database search tool that facilitates identification of the functions of matched sequences. Three recent improvements to the BEAUTY program described here make the enhanced output (1) available for DNA queries, (2) available for searches of any protein database, and (3) more up-to-date, with periodic update...

Although it has been argued that aesthetic merit is a trivial and morally objectionable basis for action, beauty is an important value and a legitimate basis for differential treatment, especially in the case of animals...

Production of charmed and beauty mesons and baryons in hadron–nucleon collisions at not very high energy is considered in the framework of the Quark–Gluon String Model. We take into account the possible corrections to the model which disappear at asymptotically high energies but could be important at comparatively low energies, essentially in the case of heavy flavour production. The case of nu...
