At the turn of twentieth century, social theories developed in both U.S. and Europe suggested that those at top, or most well endowed with good genetics, would stay way, while poor genetics had little hope changing their circumstances. Degeneration theory, as this concept was called when it took root United States from late 1890s, before evolved to formally become eugenics 1910s, beyond. While ...

the relations of abbasid state and bizans empire were more hostile in rashid era. on the other hand, the good understanding of abbasid and westerns was one of the most important reasons of this hostility because they were very frightened of their cooperation and this factor continued until mamun era. great sharlman succeeded his father, pepin, and in this era, his relation with ghostantaniyyeh ...

Far Westerns with digoxigenin-conjugated protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) catalytic subunit identified PP1-binding proteins in extracts from bovine, rat, and human brain. A major 70-kDa PP1-binding protein was purified from bovine brain cortex plasma membranes, using affinity chromatography on the immobilized phosphatase inhibitor, microcystin-LR. Mixed peptide sequencing following cyanogen bromide ...

night, the series opener of HBO’s Deadwood cuts to a close-up of Seth Bullock’s hands: he dips a pen into ink with his left, switches it to his right, and puts it to page. The camera tilts up, revealing the sling on his injured right arm and resting on his face. From behind bars comes the first line of dialogue: ‘‘Is that some sort of a letter, Marshal?’’ asks the imprisoned horse thief. ‘‘Jour...

Ninety-fi ve per cent of characters killed in fi lms and television entertainment shows are men. In action movies, horror movies and westerns, most of these males are dispatched without any mourning, according to American men’s movement academic Warren Farrell. On the other hand, after nearly 40 years of modern feminism, more than 30 per cent of advertising still portrays women as slim, blond b...

The retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor (ROR) alpha has been demonstrated to regulate lipid metabolism. We were interested in the ROR alpha 1 dependent physiological functions in skeletal muscle. This major mass organ accounts for approximately 40% of the total body mass and significant levels of lipid catabolism, glucose disposal and energy expenditure. We utilized the strategy of t...

In this paper, we report the cloning and characterization of the plastid-located glutamine synthetase (GS) of Medicago truncatula Gaertn (MtGS2). A cDNA was isolated encoding a GS2 precursor polypeptide of 428 amino acids composing an N-terminal transit peptide of 49 amino acids. Expression analysis, by Westerns and by northern hybridization, revealed that MtGS2 is expressed in both photosynthe...

Heterogeneity in responses of cells to a stimulus, such as a pathogen or allergen, can potentially play an important role in deciding the fate of the responding cell population and the overall systemic response. Measuring heterogeneous responses requires tools capable of interrogating individual cells. Cell signaling studies commonly do not have single-cell resolution because of the limitations...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The virologic response of Koreans to combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C is similar to westerns; however, dose modification occurs more frequently in Koreans. We evaluated the rates of peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin dose modifications and their effect on the virologic response in Koreans. METHODS Patients with detectable HCV RNA and enrolled from multicenters wer...
