We present a novel graph drawing algorithm which uses a spectral decomposition of the distance matrix to approximate the graph theoretical distances. The algorithm preserves symmetry and node densities, i.e., the drawings are aesthetically pleasing. The runtime for typical 20, 000 node graphs ranges from 100 to 150 seconds.

We retrospectively studied seven children (six girls, one boy) aged from 7.5 to 25 months who presented to our institution after taking large doses of vitamin D (900 000-4 000 000 U) prescribed by medical practitioners for wrong indications like failure to thrive, etc. The clinical manifestations were constipation, decreased appetite, lethargy, polyuria, dehydration and failure to thrive. All p...

Our objective was to identify any changes that occur in the composition of the porcine zona pellucida during development of the 2- to 4-cell embryo from the oocyte. Oocytes, unfertilized eggs and single and 2- to 4-cell embryos have been recovered surgically and their zonae pellucidae 125I-labelled and analysed individually by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE...

Motivation: A plethora of sequenced and genotyped disease cohorts is available to the biomedical research community, spread across many portals and represented in various formats. Results: We have gathered several large studies, including GERA and GRU, and computed populationand disease-specific genetic variant frequencies. In total, our portal provides fast access to genetic variants observed ...

The proteins that are synthesized during differentiation and development in the cotyledons of Lupinus angustifolius L. were characterized both in situ and after purification. The proteins present in situ were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and subjected to 'Western'-blot analysis to identify immunologically related polypeptides. The major storage protein...

Diffusional permeability (P) to inulin (P(in)), albumin (P(alb)), and dextrans [70 (P(dx 70)), 150 (P(dx 150)), 550 (P(dx 550)), and 2, 000 (P(dx 2,000))] was determined in specimens of parietal pericardium of rabbits, which may be obtained with less damage than pleura. P(in), P(alb), P(dx 70), P(dx 150), P(dx 550), and P(dx 2, 000) were 0.51 +/- 0.06 (SE), 0.18 +/- 0.03, 0.097 +/- 0.021, 0. 04...

beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase I2 was purified from human liver by a combination of concanavalin A chromatography, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, gel filtration and affinity chromatography on 2-acetamido-N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. Its specific activity was 130 mumol/min per mg of protein compared with values of 150 and 320 mumol/m...
