The WFCC-MIRCEN World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM) was set up more than 30 years ago as a data center of the World Federation for Culture Collections (WFCC). It published the World Directory of Collections of Cultures of Microorganisms when it was established and now provides a portal site for microbial resource centers and their customers by fully utilizing Internet technology. This p...

Microtubule nucleation within cells is catalyzed by γ-tubulin ring complexes localized at specific microtubule-organizing centers. In this issue, Muroyama et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201601099) reveal heterogeneity in the composition and function of these complexes, with wide implications for how cells organize their microtubule arrays.

We address three questions of Donald Monk. Two of them, [M2, Problems 50, 54], are related to attainment problems in equivalent definitions of hereditary density hd and hereditary Lindelöf degree hL. The third problem is [M2, Problem 14] and it is about subalgebra– Depth–relation. ∗ The second author thanks KBN (Polish Committee of Scientific Research) for partial support through grant 2 P03 A ...

BACKGROUND The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) is a federally funded multi-center research network. To promote high quality research within the network, it is important to establish evaluation tools to measure performance of the research sites. PURPOSE To describe the collaborative development of a site performance measure tool "report card" in an academic pediatric...

This paper explores determinants of participation, intensity and the magnitude of the rural nonfarm economy (RNFE) in Tajikistan. Conducting analysis at the district level, in addition to traditional individual and household levels, helps to test the impact of institutional determinants of the RNFE invariant at the micro level. We have found that rural residents in Tajikistan are mostly pushed ...

The development of projections from the retinas to the cortex is mathematically analyzed according to the previously proposed thermodynamic formulation of the self-organization of neural networks. Three types of submodality included in the visual afferent pathways are assumed in two models: model (A), in which the ocularity and retinotopy are considered separately, and model (B), in which on-ce...

This is a paper supporting the demonstration of the LX-Center at ACL-IJCNLP-09. LX-Center is a web center of online linguistic services aimed at both demonstrating a range of language technology tools and at fostering the education, research and development in natural language science and technology.

In (1), it is shown that believe can, but know cannot, license the entailment from x Vs the rumor that p to x Vs that p (Vendler 1972, Ginzburg 1995). As I will argue in detail below, in the standard assumption that know has a proposition-taking denotation, an additional stipulation will be needed to block whatever the mechanism that licenses the entailment of believe in the case of know. In th...
