Steric interactions between bound ligand molecules and the valine E11 methyl groups of human hemoglobin and sperm whale myoglobin have been examined directly by high resolution NMR techniques. The methyl proton resonances of this amino acid are shifted markedly upfield and away from the bulk of the protein resonances by the shielding effect of circulating pi electrons in the porphyrin ring. We ...

This paper addresses Marx’s theory of crisis in order to analyze the Great Recession Spain, a peripheral economy within Eurozone. It demonstrates that underlying problem “housing bubble” is an incapacity generate surplus value, which turn explains certain particularities related capital composition, productivity, wages, and finance. The article further carries out critique both orthodox heterod...

The development of the enteric nervous system was examined in fetal mice. Synthesis of [3H] acetylcholine ([3H]ACh) from [3H]choline and acetylcholinesterase histochemistry were used as phenotypic markers for cholinergic neurons, while the radioautographic detection of the specific uptake of [3H]serotonin (5-[3H]HT) and immunocytochemical staining with antiserum to 5-HT marked serotonergic neur...

This paper responds to Ravagnani’s critique of my “macro-monetary” interpretation of Marx’s theory. The first section briefly reviews the key points of my interpretation, with special emphasis on the determination of the initial inputs of constant capital and variable capital. The second section replies to Ravagnani’s criticism that my interpretation is subject to a severe “analytical limitatio...

This note critically evaluates the ‘macro-monetary’ interpretation of Marx’s theory presented by Moseley (2000) in opposition to the traditional view rooted in the early work of Bortkiewicz. The first part argues that the textual evidence from Capital sharply contrasts with the basic premise of Moseley’s interpretation, i.e. the claim that the inputs of constant capital and variable capital ent...

We developed a technique to measure regional two-dimensional deformations in the myocardium. Three piezoelectric crystals were implanted in a triangular array in the left ventricular anterior midwall in six anesthetized dogs. Each crystal was used in a dual function, to both transmit and receive ultrasonic signals from the other two crystals. In this manner, the three segment lengths of the cry...
