convened in Washington in September 1961 for a three day meeting, and this volume is the result of their deliberations. If, as did most of us, you missed the meeting but would like to know what transpired, this book provides the answers. Published, ".. . in part as an experiment. .. ," the book is a verbatim transcript of the proceedings , jests and all. The participants discussed, mostly throu...

The normal healthy fetus receives a constant influx of glucose from the mother. This constant influx provides for basal fetal metabolism. The normal fetoplacental glucose utilization rate is 5 to 6 mg/kg/min. After 27 weeks gestation, this glucose influx also provides for convertion into glycogen, which is deposited mainly in the liver. The fetal glucose levels are maintained by transport of ma...

RNA viruses rely on the host-donated factors for replication and transcription of their genomic RNAs. In some RNA viruses, the virus-encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) forms a complex with host-donated translational factors. The formation of a complex between the virus-encoded RdRps and the host-donated translational factors is required for RNA replication and transcription of viral ge...

hypnotic Suggestion, Autohypnosis and Autosuggestion " Theories of Hypnosis " A System of Brief Hypnoanalysis " and " Research in Hypnotism There is also a tolerably complete bibliography. It may be a matter of surprise to many analytical psychotherapists at the present day, who have assimilated the teachings of Freud and other leading exponents of deep mental analysis, that there could still b...

The term, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), initially proposed by Noonan and Nadas,8 describes a diminutive left ventricle with underdevelopment of mitral and aortic valves. A patent foramen ovale or an atrial septal defect is usually present. The ventricular septum is usually intact. A large patent ductus arteriosus supplies blood to the systemic circulation. Coarctation of the aorta is ...

Visualizing electronic orbitals. The image of an atom is really the image of the averaged likelihood that the electrons will be at various places. Physicists at Arizona State University have now imaged the cloud of bonding electrons in copper oxide and shown that they look just the drawings used for decades in quantum physics textbooks. Using a combination of x-ray diffraction and electron diff...

Based on the charge independence hypothesis the properties of V particles are theoretically investigated. It is found that the curious behaviours of these unstable particles are most simply interpreted in terms of the 1}-charge conservation law which directly results from the C. I. hypothesis and suitable isotopic spin assignments to these particles. The topics which are discussed in this paper...

There is a large gap between Zhang’s theoretical bound for the length n of a binary extremal self-dual doublyeven code and what we can construct. The largest n is 136. In order to find examples for larger n a non-trivial automorphism group might be helpful. In the list of known examples extended quadratic residue codes and quadratic double circulant codes have large automorphism groups. But in ...
