This paper explores turning points in the historical relationship between gender and technoscience, most notably the gender parity of the 2009 Nobel Prizes; the public debate on the under-representation of women in science that raged world-wide but especially in the US during 2005-2006; and the construction of a public memory for a leading woman technoscientist in the mid-1990s. The paper situa...

Results HRs for overall mortality changed markedly over time, most notably for persons in same-sex marriage. In 2000–2011, opposite-sex married persons (reference, HR1⁄4 1) had consistently lower mortality than persons in other marital status categories in women (HRs 1.37–1.89) and men (HRs 1.37–1.66). Mortality was particularly high for same-sex married women (HR1⁄4 1.89), notably from suicide...

This article studies under which conditions interest rate rules “à la Taylor (1993)” lead to price determinacy. We scrutinize notably two famous results, which are standard in the traditional “Ricardian” model with a single dynasty of consumers: (1) a pure interest rate peg leads to nominal price indeterminacy; (2) a strong reaction (usually more than one for one) of nominal interest rates to i...

We develop necessary conditions of broad applicability for optimal control problems in which the state and control are subject to mixed constraints. We unify, subsume and significantly extend most of the results on this subject, notably in the three special cases that comprise the bulk of the literature: calculus of variations, differential-algebraic systems, and mixed constraints specified by ...

Influenza viruses replicate their single-stranded RNA genomes in the nucleus of infected cells and these replicated genomes (vRNPs) are then exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane before budding. To achieve this export, influenza viruses hijack the host cell export machinery. However, the complete mechanisms underlying this hijacking remain not fully understood. We have ...

New topics, most notably the World Wide Web, have put considerable pressure on the Computer Science curriculum. Computing Curricula 2001 represents a consensus that topics in the core must be reduced to accommodate new topics as they emerge. Unfortunately, digital logic has been reduced to 1/3 its original coverage. We argue that more core coverage should be given to digital logic, and that it ...

s | 11 Center for Therapeutic Innovation and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Miami, Miami FL 33136, USA. [email protected] Abstract This lecture will primarily be concerned with long noncoding natural antisense RNAs which regulate gene expression through several distinct mechanisms including modulation of chromatin regulator protein complexes. Notably, in...

When fresh whole leaves of six different species of forage legumes were suspended in an artificial rumen medium and inoculated with rumen bacteria, bacterial adhesion and proliferation were noted at the stomata, and penetration of the stomate by these bacteria was documented by electron microscopy. The invading bacteria adhered to surfaces within the intercellular space of the leaf and produced...

AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate) is a natural metabolic intermediate of purine biosynthesis that is present in all organisms. In yeast, AICAR plays important regulatory roles under physiological conditions, notably through its direct interactions with transcription factors. In humans, AICAR accumulates in several metabolic diseases, but its contribu...

HAK/KUP/KT K(+) transporters have been widely associated with K(+) transport across membranes in bacteria, fungi, and plants. Indeed some members of the plant HAK/KUP/KT family contribute to root K(+) uptake, notably at low external concentrations. Besides such role in acquisition, several studies carried out in Arabidopsis have shown that other members are also involved in developmental proces...
