I highlight a few general themes about blazars and their variability discussed in this workshop and then raise some outstanding open questions that will, hopefully, be answered in a future workshop. Figure 1: Time evolution of Levinson based on his comment about blazars that "the more I know about these objects, the less I understand them". The solid line decreasing with time shows the time evo...

Newly determined crystal structures suggest that the membrane-binding C2 domains of blood coagulation cofactors Va and VIIIa bind anionic phospholipids through protruding solvent-exposed hydrophobic residues, aided by a crown of positively charged residues and by specific hydrogen-bonding side chains.

We examine outstanding issues in the analysis and interpretation of the halo Li plateau. We show that the majority of very Li-poor halo Li-plateau stars (5 out of 8) have high projected rotation velocities vsini between 4.7 and 10.4 km s. Such stars have very different evolutionary histories to Li-normal plateau stars, and hence cannot be included in studies of Li depletion by normal halo dwarf...

On April 30, 2010, Jack Kenney retired from the ASM Journals Department after 25 years of service, for the last 13 of which he was the production editor for the Journal of Bacteriology. Over the years, Jack helped countless authors, reviewers, and editors to expedite the publication of JB papers. Because of his knowledge and sincere desire to help the microbiological community navigate the publ...

S (in alphabetic order by speaker surname) Speaker: Boris Adamczewski (Institu Camille Jordan & CNRS) Title: Combinatorics on words and Diophantine approximation Abstract: A very fruitful interplay between combinatorics on words and Diophantine approximation comes up with the use of numeration systems. Finite and infinite words occur naturally in Number Theory when one considers the expansion o...

PURPOSE The study examines various combinations of levels of social isolation in private life and peripheral work position as predictors of disability pension (DP). A second aim was to test the potential interaction effects (above additivity) of social isolation and peripheral work position on the future risk of DP, and to provide results for men and women by age. METHOD The study was based o...

We estimate the magnitude of social interaction effects in disability pension participation among older workers in Norway. The problem of omitted variable bias is addressed using neighbors’ exposure to plant downsizing events as an instrument for the disability entry rate among one’s previously employed neighbors. Our IV estimates suggest that a one percentage point increase in the participatio...

This paper introduces a whole-word approach to phonological analysis and then demonstrates the use of the approach by conducting an analysis and outlining treatment recommendations for a child with a phonological disability. Rationale for using a whole-word approach and also for defining phonological typologies are presented using the view that children are word oriented and use different patte...
