Inhibitory effects of cernitin pollen extract (CN-009), consisting of T-60 (a water-soluble extract) and GBX (an acetone-soluble extract) at a ratio of 20:1, were investigated in rat urethral smooth muscle and diaphragm. In the urethral smooth muscle, CN-009 (3.0 x 10(-4) approximately 3.0 x 10(-3) g/ml), T-60 and GBX (corresponding to CN-009) concentration-dependently inhibited the noradrenali...

KIR3DL1 is a polymorphic inhibitory receptor that modulates NK cell activity through interacting with HLA-A and HLA-B alleles that carry the Bw4 epitope. Amino acid polymorphisms throughout KIR3DL1 impact receptor surface expression and affinity for HLA. KIR3DL1/S1 encodes inhibitory and activating alleles, but despite high homology with KIR3DL1, the activating receptor KIR3DS1 does not bind th...

This speech addressed itself to the variety of achievement motivations that can be critically different for men and women. The author, impressed by the different wars people cognitively define and experience a successful accomplishment, developed a taxonomy of psychological 'cues which people might use in defining their success. Six varieties of achievement motivation were reviewed: (1) autonom...

The COIN (Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms) workshop series began in 2005 with a single satellite workshop at AAMAS in Utrecht [1]. Since then two meetings have been organized each year, with one typically attached to AAMAS and the other to another major conference in a different continent from AAMAS [2], [3], [4]. This year, exceptionally, a third event is being held in supp...
