INTRODUCTION When bound to proteins and membranes, fluorescence probes can provide valuable information about the environment of the binding site (Edelman & McClure, 1968; Brand & Gohlke, 1972). Recently much interest has been shown in aromatic hydrocarbons as fluorescence probes. Because they are non-polar molecules, they should not interact as strongly with charged groups as the amino-napthal...

Analyses of multispectral satellite data indicate accelerated glacier decline around the globe since the 1980s. By using digitized glacier outlines inferred from the 1973 inventory and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data from 1985 to 1999, we obtained area changes of about 930 Alpine glaciers. The 18% area reduction as observed for the period 1985 to 1999 (−1.3% a�1) corresponds to a se...

Since the early 60's, consequent to the change in the immigration laws of the United States (USA), the number of physicians entering the United States has steadily increased. In fact, from 1957 to 1965 the number of foreign medical graduates (FMG) coming to USA fluctuated at around 2,000 a year. The rise in their number began in 1966. More than 7,000 immigrant visas went to physicians in 1972 a...
