A striking feature of Bence-Jones proteinuria is the free passage of large quantities of the protein through a kidney which holds back the normrd serum proteins. Most previous investigators have found the kidney of animals impervious to the Bence-Jones protein, although Boggs and Guthriel found that sometimes rabbits excreted it after intravenous injection. We injected subcutaneously 40 cc. of ...

the presence of decyclase. The biosynthetic demonstration of PCA decylase in a human plasmacytoma producing a Bence Jones protein with a cyclized glutaminyl amino-terminal residue contrasted to the absence of demonstrable decyclase in a murine plasmacytoma, which was also producing a Bence Jones protein with a cyclized glutaminyl amino terminus. These results indicate a lack of correlation betw...

A Bence Jones protein isolated in the early 1960s from a patient (initials KWR) suffering from plasma-cell dyscrasia was crystallized and its structure was analyzed in four different unit cells by X-ray diffraction. The final models of the molecule in all crystal forms were virtually the same, although the elbow angles relating the constant and variable domains of the Bence Jones dimers varied ...

The diffusional isotope effect of a monatomic Lennard-Jones liquid is calculated by molecular-dynamics simulation. Mass differences of 10-40 % were used. At equilibrium density, with decreasing temperature a strong reduction of the isotope effect is found that indicates a marked increase of the collectivity of motion. Changing the density at constant temperature, the same effect is seen that sh...

We study the problem of traffic sign detection in the context of traffic infrastructure inventory. The data acquired during filming the roads in Croatia is presented. Based on recent approaches, and motivated by constraints present in our data, we employ the Viola-Jones object detector for triangular warning signs detection. The detector achieves correct detection rates better than 90%, which i...

The ground states of Lennard-Jones clusters (LJ(n)) for sizes up to n = 147 are estimated as a function of the de Boer quantum delocalization length, Lambda, using the variational Gaussian wavepacket method. Consequently, the n-Lambda phase diagram is constructed showing the ranges of stability of various structural motifs, including the Mackay and anti-Mackay icosahedra, several nonicosahedral...

We present a method for the evaluation of the interaction potential of an equilibrium classical system starting from the (partial) knowledge of its structure factor. The procedure is divided into two phases, both of which are based on the maximum entropy principle of information theory. First we determine the maximum entropy estimate of the radial distribution function constrained by the inform...
