Chromatop~ores from photoreaction centerless strain F24 of R h o d o ~ ~ i r i ~ u m rubru~ were subjected to different doses of y radiation. Target theory was applied to the induced decay of the B880 holochrome pigments as analyzed by absorption spectroscopy of the membranes and of organic solvent extracts. Destruction of bacteriochlorophyll is associated with a target size of 7 kDa. This indi...

Despite widespread recognition and application of the relationship marketing principle, little empirical work has been done in terms of adopting the relational metaphor at the consumer-brand level. A notable exception is a study by Fournier (1998) in the context of consumer goods. To our knowledge, however, no research has been conducted based on relationship marketing at the consumer-brand lev...

Mycobacterium mungi, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex pathogen, has emerged in banded mongoose in northern Botswana and Northwest Zimbabwe. The pathogen is transmitted through infected secretions used in olfactory communication behavior (K. A. Alexander, C. E. Sanderson, M. H. Larsen, S. Robbe-Austerman, M. C. Williams, and M. V. Palmer, mBio 7(3):e00281-16, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/...

A tree T is arbitrarily vertex decomposable if for any sequence τ of positive integers adding up to the order of T there is a sequence of vertexdisjoint subtrees of T whose orders are given by τ ; from a result by Barth and Fournier it follows that ∆(T ) ≤ 4. A necessary and a sufficient condition for being an arbitrarily vertex decomposable star-like tree have been exhibited. The conditions se...
