For centuries, Alfred the Great was judged to have translated several Latin texts into Old English. Many scholars, however, have expressed doubt whether Alfred could have done all of this work. With the availability of the Old English Corpus in electronic form, it is feasible to subject the texts to statistical stylometric analysis. We approach the problem from a Bayesian perspective where key ...

Since the x dependence of the axial-anomaly effect in inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering is fixed, the transformation from the MS scheme to different factorization schemes are not arbitrary. If the quark spin distribution is demanded to be anomaly-free so that it does not evolve with Q and hard gluons contribute to the first moment of g1(x), then all the moments of coefficient and sp...

In the extended antifield formalism, a quantum BRST differential for anomalous gauge theories is constructed. Local BRST cohomological classes are characterized, besides the form degree and the ghost number, by the length of their descents and of their lifts, and this both in the standard and the extended antifield formalism. It is shown that during the BRST invariant renormalization of a local...

The amino acid tryptophan is unique because it contains the indole nucleus and because it is metabolized in man through several different biochemical pathways to a number of specific products. It is the precursor of serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. In addition, after cleavage of the indole ring, it may be metabolized by way of the kynurenine pathway to 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and ult...

It has been my distinct honor to co-edit this special issue of the Journal of Surgical Oncology about gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) with Dr. Alfred E. Chang. This issue is dedicated to him in recognition of longstanding contributions to surgical oncology and tumor immunology. Dr. Chang is the Hugh Cabot Professor of Surgery and Chief of the Division of Surgical Oncology at the Universi...

Alfred propõe sua como uma estratégia rompimento com as relações coloniais poder que incidem capacidade Indígenas viverem e se desenvolverem acordo os seus próprios sistemas pe...

An iconic, visionary giant in medical science, Alfred G. Knudson, Jr., M.D., Ph.D. died July 10, 2016, one month short of his 94 birthday. Often referred to as the ‘‘Mendel of cancer genetics’’—Al was widely known for his groundbreaking ‘‘two-hit’’ hypothesis of cancer development and his prediction of recessiveacting tumor suppressor genes. His revolutionary two-hit hypothesis envisaged that c...
