This paper investigates the location and accessibility disadvantages of manufactured housing using Geographical Information Systems. It is found that, on an aggregated basis, manufactured housing has been placed further away from positive public-community facilities and, hence, services than other types of housing. It has also been placed further away from major employment centers. Moreover, a ...

Mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) account for a substantial percentage of familial breast and ovarian cancers. Although BRCA1 is thought to function within the nucleus, it has also been located in the cytoplasm. In addition, BRCA1 accumulates in the nucleus of cells treated with leptomycin B, an inhibitor of chromosome region maintenance 1-mediated nuclear export, ind...

The antibacterial protein Colicin V (ColV) is secreted from gram-negative bacteria by a signal sequence-independent pathway. The proteins that mediate the export of ColV share sequence similarities with components from other signal sequence-independent export systems such as those for alpha-hemolysin (Hly) and Erwinia protease (Prt). We report here that the intact HlyBD export system can export...

Manufactured sand differs from natural sea and river dredged sand in its physical and mineralogical properties. These can be both beneficial and detrimental to the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. This paper presents the results of a laboratory study in which manufactured sand produced in an industry sized crushing plant was characterised with respect to its physical and mineralogical...
