Our recent finding that dilution limits dissolved organic carbon (DOC) utilization in the deep ocean has been criticized based on the common misconception that lability equates to rapid and complete utilization.

The complete nucleotide sequence of an isolate of grapevine satellite virus (GV-Sat) was determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and compared with the single available complete sequence. The NGS data unexpectedly provided evidence for the existence of multimeric forms of GV-Sat, which were experimentally confirmed, allowing the redefinition of GV-Sat genomic ends.

A redefinition of librarianship is necessary to respond to the ever-changing environment. Librarians must view their profession more broadly, because they are part of a network of relationships. To meet these challenges, health information professionals must commit to spending the time necessary to engage in both professional and personal growth.

It focuses on two interrelated and contradictory facets of national redefinition – namely, the incorporation of Portuguese transnational migrants into the nation and Portugal’s transformation into a receptor of immigrants f...

The 5th International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (Boston, USA, 3-7 November 1993) recommended the adoption of 48 new CD clusters and subclusters and the redefinition of 14 previously established clusters. The additions and changes made to the existing CD nomenclature are summarized in a Table.
