Wilcox (1970), in reviewing the problems of treating gonorrhoea in South-East Asia, noted that relatively large doses of penicillin had been used in the region for the last 10 years, but that nevertheless failure rates of 30 per cent. and higher had often been reported. When treating gonorrhoea acquired in the Philippines and Hong Kong, Holmes, Johnson, and Floyd (1967a) found that treatment wi...

Algae and plants are the dominant primary producers on our planet and define an evolutionarily diverse group of taxa (Graham and Wilcox 2000). Despite their importance, dating algal origin is frustrated by a limited fossil record (Knoll 1992). Recent molecular phylogenetic trees place algae near the base of the eukaryotic tree of life (e.g., Baldauf et al. 2000, 2003; Nozaki et al. 2003). This ...

An enzyme similar to that described by Smith and Wilcox (15) for Haemophilus influenzae which attacks foreign deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) but not its own has been isolated and purified from H. parainfluenzae. The enzyme degrades foreign DNA to limited sizes and can destroy the transforming activity of H. influenzae and Bacillus subtilis DNA. The enzyme can also destroy the biological activity o...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed phosphorus is stored primarily as phytic acid, a form in which it is unavailable to monogastric mammals and birds. Because of the nutritional and environmental problems caused by phytic acid, development of cultivars with low phytic acid (lpa) mutations has become an important objective in many soybean breeding programs. Information about the inheritance of...

The contribution of the strange-quark current to the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon is studied using lattice QCD. The strange current matrix elements from our lattice calculation are analyzed in two different ways, the differential method used in an earlier work by Wilcox and a cumulative method which sums over all current insertion times. The preliminary results of our simulation ...

Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD), the first issue of which was published in January 2004, is the product of Dr Lynne Wilcox’s vision to create a journal that intersects research programs, practice, and policy. With the support of Dr James Marks, then the director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Dr Wilcox created a peer-reviewed publication dedicated t...
