Substantial evidence supports the familial aggregation of exceptional longevity. The existence of rare families demonstrating clustering for this phenotype suggests that a genetic etiology may be an important component. Previous attempts at localizing loci predisposing for exceptional longevity have been limited to association studies of candidate gene polymorphisms. In this study, a genome-wid...

Exceptional domains are domains on which there exists a positive harmonic function, zero on the boundary and such that the normal derivative on the boundary is constant. Recent results classify (under some mild additional assumptions) exceptional domains as belonging to either a certain one-parameter family of simply periodic domains or one of its scaling limits. We introduce quasi-exceptional ...

SUMMARY In this issue of Cancer Discovery, AI-Ahmadie and colleagues identify a somatic mutation in the RAD50 gene as a likely contributing factor to an unusual curative response to systemic combination therapy employing the DNA-damaging agent irinotecan and a checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor in a patient with recurrent, metastatic small-cell cancer. This study highlights the importance of in-dept...

ôbjective: having a good quality of life has always been desirable for humans and the concept of a good life and the ways of achieving it have been focused over the years. personal wellbeing is the mental component of quality of life. thus, the current study was conducted to estimate psychometric characteristics of “personal well-being index-adult” (pwï-â) in mothers of mentally retarded studen...

In this note we analyse the Exceptional Component of the space of integrable forms of degree two, introduced by Cerveau-Lins Neto, in terms of the geometry of Veronese curves and classical invariant theory.

Translation surfaces arise in complex analysis, the classification of surface diffeomorphisms and the study of polygonal billiards. In recent years there have been some notable advances in understanding their properties. In particular Calta and McMullen have made significant advances in understanding translation structures in genus 2. This paper is motivated by our desire to reformulate and ext...

Preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to isolate individual components of an alkaline-soluble-water-soluble fraction of the cell wall of Blastomyces dermatitidis yeast phase. One component isolated demonstrated exceptional specificity and reactivity when tested on guinea pigs infected with B. dermatitidis. This component displayed no cross-reactivity when tested on animals inf...

Magnetic topological materials, which combine magnetism and topology, are expected to host emerging states exotic quantum phenomena. In this study, with the aid of greatly enhanced coercive fields in high-quality nanoflakes magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2, we investigate anomalous electronic transport properties that difficult reveal bulk Co3Sn2S2 or other materials. When magnetization is anti...

For physicists: We show that the quiver gauge theory derived from a Calabi-Yau cone via an exceptional collection of line bundles on the base has the original cone as a component of its classical moduli space. For mathematicians: We use data from the derived category of sheaves on a Fano surface to construct a quiver, and show that its moduli space of representations has a component which is is...
