For autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment over 30 loci have been mapped and 19 genes have been identified. DFNB38, a novel locus for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing impairment, was localized in a consanguineous Pakistani kindred to 6q26-q27. The affected family members present with profound prelingual sensorineural hearing impairment and use sign language for communicatio...

We report molecular dynamics calculations on a two-component, cold, 15,625 particle, three-dimensional Lennard-Jones fluid. We calculated spherical harmonic components Q(LM) for the density of particles in the first coordination shell of each particle, as well as their spherical invariants , time-correlation functions, and wavelet density decompositions. The spherical invariants show that ...
