In this, paper we present a probabilistic approach to analysis and prediction of protein structure. We argue that this approach provides a flexible and convenient mechanism to perform general scientific data analysis in molecular biology. We apply our approach to an important problem in molecular biology-predicting the secondary structure of proteins-and obtain experimental results comparable t...

The pulmonary status of 178 asymptomatic asthmatic children with normal time-volume spirograms was further evaluated using flow-volume loops, body plethysmographic studies, and blood gas tensions in arterialized capillary blood. Residual volume (RV) was abnormal in 26 percent, total lung capacity (TLC) in 33 percent, RV/TLC % in 41 percent, and arterial oxygen pressure in 23 percent of them. Al...

We reviewed 56 cases of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients 65 years of age and older. The clinical features, laboratory manifestations, and bacterial etiology of IE in our patients were similar to those in younger patients. Ninety-three percent were febrile, 86% had heart murmurs, and 36% had peripheral stigmas. Streptococci were predominant in community-acquired cases and staphylococci in...

n-propylsalicylidene based on silica as ion exchanger (ie) was used for the separation by complexation of mn2+, co2+, ni2+, cu2+, hg2+, cr3+, fe3+, and uo22+ from their parent solutions. ie and its metal complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and infrared spectra, in addition to thermal analysis in atmospheric pressure. the mode of chelation and the proposed geometric str...
