of the Christian tradition,1 and is stated in its fullest form in the theological doctrine of God's impeccability.2, God is not only free from sin, He is incapable of moral deviation. God not only does not sin, He cannot sin. This is generally held to be part of what is communicated in the claim that God is perfectly good. On the surface, at least, this doctrine appears to be in conflict with t...

PURPOSE This study explores at which level of the guanylate cyclase pathway oxygen modulates retinal pericyte relaxation induced by nitric oxide (NO). METHODS Bovine retinal microvascular pericytes were grown on silicone. On silicone, pericyte contractile tone induces wrinkles. Drug-induced relaxation was quantified as a reduced number of wrinkles after exposure to 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (S...

We discuss the possibilities of high precision measurement of the solar neutrino mixing angle θ⊙ ≡ θ12 in solar and reactor neutrino experiments. The improvements in the determination of sin θ12, which can be achieved with the expected increase of statistics and reduction of systematic errors in the currently operating solar and KamLAND experiments, are summarised. The potential of LowNu ν − e ...

This paper describes SiN, a novel case-based planning algorithm that combines conversational case retrieval with generative planning. SiN is provably correct, and can generate plans given an incomplete domain theory by using cases to extend that domain theory. SiN can also reason with imperfect world-state information by incorporing preferences into the cases. Our empirical validation shows how...

The rate of protein secretion in host cells is inhibited during infection with several different picornaviruses, with consequences likely to have significant effects on viral growth, spread, and pathogenesis. This Sin(+) (secretion inhibition) phenotype has been documented for poliovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, and coxsackievirus B3 and can lead to reduced cell surface expression of majo...

Speech-in-noise (SIN) perception is a complex cognitive skill that affects social, vocational, and educational activities. Poor SIN ability particularly affects young and elderly populations, yet varies considerably even among healthy young adults with normal hearing. Although SIN skills are known to be influenced by top-down processes that can selectively enhance lower-level sound representati...
