The immunochemical demonstration that the Bence Jones protein from the urine of an individual patient with multiple myeloma was antigenically identical to a portion of the homologous serum myeloma protein (1), and the establishment of the chemical and structural similarities between Benee Jones proteins and light polypeptide chains (2, 3) which are common to immunoglobulins of all known classes...

An increasing proportion of the Earth's surface is illuminated at night. In aquatic ecosystems, artificial light at night (ALAN) may influence microbial communities living in the sediments. These communities are highly diverse and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. We combined field and laboratory experiments using sediments from an agricultural drainage system to examine how AL...

30epartment of Biophysical Chemistry, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4 9747 AG, Groningen, The Netherlands A principal component analysis has been applied on equilibrium simulations of a p-heptapeptide that shows reversibIe folding in a methanol solution. The analysis shows that the configurational space contains only three dense sub-states. These states of relatively low tree energy corre...

We live in an increasingly connected world. Many people have high speed, always-on Internet access at their homes, and Google is a verb in nearly every language on the planet. Our access to multiple streams of information in digital formats has the potential to keep us in touch with world events and far-away loved ones. We have access to this information on multiple devices, such as wired deskt...

In 1890 the pathologist William Russell reported spherical forms in histopathologic sections from cancer which he interpreted as "the parasite of cancer." These forms were subsequently discredited as microbial forms but have became known to every pathologist as "Russell bodies." Identified in a wide variety of disease states, these forms are now widely considered to be immunoglobulins. This pap...

A polynomial knot is a smooth embedding κ : R → Rn whose components are polynomials. The case n = 3 is of particular interest. It is both an object of real algebraic geometry as well as being an open ended topological knot. This paper contains basic results for these knots as well as many examples.

Title of Dissertation: DEMOCRACY AND STATE REPRESSION: WHAT WE DON’T KNOW, CAN KILL US David Alan Armstrong II, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Professor Christian Davenport Department of Government and Politics There is an overwhelming amount of empirical evidence that democracy makes states more pacific toward their citizens. This robust finding has left scholars working ...

We consider a Riemannian manifold, (M, g), of dimension n with boundary ∂M . We analyze the inverse problem, originally formulated by Dix [4], of reconstructing g from boundary measurements associated with the single scattering of seismic waves on this manifold. The measurements determine the shape operator on the boundary. We develop an explicit reconstruction procedure involving the solution ...

Özet. Yazılım geliştiren birçok firma, içerdikleri özelliklerin değiştirilmesiyle birbirinden ayrılan fakat temelde birbirine çok benzeyen yazılım aileleri üretmektedir. Bu yazılım ailelerinin Yazılım Ürün Hattı yaklaşımıyla geliştirilmesi başta maliyet, kalite ve markete çıkış süresi olmak üzere pek çok alanda önemli avantajlar getirmektedir. Merkezinde sistematik yeniden kullanımın yer aldığı...
