Sister Mary, the gold standard for the Nun Study, was a remarkable woman who had high cognitive test scores before her death at 101 years of age. What is more remarkable is that she maintained this high status despite having abundant neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, the classic lesions of Alzheimer's disease. Findings from Sister Mary and all 678 participants in the Nun Study may pro...

A. Caramazza, A. Costa, M. Miozzo, and Y. Bi (2001) reported a series of experiments showing that naming latencies for homophones are determined by specific-word frequency (e.g., frequency of nun) and not homophone frequency (frequency of nun + none). J. D. Jescheniak, A. S. Meyer, and W. J. M. Levelt (2003) have challenged these studies on a variety of grounds. Here we argue that these critici...

Coliphage HK022 excludes phage λ by subverting the λ antitermination system and arresting transcription on the λ chromosome. The 12 kDa HK022 Nun protein binds to λ nascent transcript through its N-terminal Arginine Rich Motif (ARM), blocking access by λ N and arresting transcription via a C-terminal interaction with RNA polymerase. In a purified in vitro system, we recently demonstrated that N...

Das KTBL liefert Daten für die Planung landwirtschaftlicher Produktion – in der Vergangenheit in Büchern und Tabellenwerken, seit einigen Jahren aber auch in Webanwendungen. Nun wurden Dienste implementiert, die Daten nach den Prinzipien und technischen Methoden des Semantic Web und Linked Open Data bereitstellen. Das nun aufgesetzte Produktivsystem ersetzt den im Rahmen der letzten GIL-Jahrest...
