In this note we show how the anomalies of both pure and matter coupled N = 1, 2 supersymmetric gauge theories describing the low energy dynamics of fractional branes on orbifolds can be derived from supergravity.

Homologous recombination occurring among misaligned repeated sequences is a significant source of the molecular rearrangements resulting in human genetic disease. Studies of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease locus on chromosome 17 have implicated the involvement of an ancient DNA transposon of the mariner family (Hsmar2) in the initiation of double-strand break events leading to homologous recomb...

The persuasive game, Travelling Rose, aims to enhance walking activities of elderly residents living in neighbourhoods characterized by a low socioeconomic status. The game consists of a wooden pass-on box containing user-reports and instructions on how to find a companion, how to generate a surprise together, how to give this surprise a fellow neighbourhood member, and how to pass on the Trave...

Preface It was January 2007 when Dolf Trieschnigg, my supervisor for the course Information Retrieval , first told me about the availability of graduation projects at TNO Information and Communication Technology. This was a bull's eye since I just started to orientate myself on a subject to investigate. I was also looking for a company where I could perform my research since I wanted to get fam...

We describe a new application of a bright-field microscopic procedure for rapid enzyme cytochemical detection of repeated DNA sequences in metaphase preparations and frozen tissue sections. Various chromosome-specific oligonucleotide primers were used in up to three sequential primed in situ (PRINS) labeling reactions together with Taq DNA polymerase and biotin, digoxigenin and/or fluorescein i...
