~ N THIS S SI~I S S of Traditions of Spiritual Guidance, which has been running in The Way since 1984, most of the articles have been historical, focusing attention on the contribution which a particular individual, group, movement or school has made to the development of the art of spiritual guidance. This present article, however, is slightly different. All forms of Christian ministry have a ...

As more complex meta-analytical techniques such as network and multivariate meta-analyses become increasingly common, further pressures are placed on reviewers to extract data in a systematic and consistent manner. Failing to do this appropriately wastes time, resources and jeopardises accuracy. This guide (data extraction for complex meta-analysis (DECiMAL)) suggests a number of points to cons...

A hospital-based magnetic guidance system (MGS) was installed to assist a physician in navigating catheters and guide wires during interventional cardiac and neurosurgical procedures. The objective of this study is to examine the performance of this magnetic field-guided navigation system. Our results show that the system's radiological imaging components produce images with quality similar to ...

It is quite common that guides are introduced to suppress the information spreading in modern society for different purposes. In this paper, an agent-based model is established to quantitatively analyze the impacts of suppressing guides on information spreading. We find that the spreading threshold depends on the attractiveness of the information and the topology of the social network with no s...

Expansions of simple DNA repeats account for more than two dozen hereditary disorders in humans (for recent reviews see Lenzmeier and Freudenreich, Jin and Warren, Parniewski and Staczek, Ranum and Day, Brown and Brown, Cummings and Zoghbi, Bowater and Wells, and Siyanova and Mirkin). Table 1 describes those diseases and their important genetic features. Although originally discovered expansion...

Mitochondrial RNAs in trypanosomes are post-transcriptionally altered by uridine insertion and deletion. The information for these RNA editing processes, which are essential for the production of functional messengers, is provided by small guide RNAs. This article discusses how features of partially edited RNAs, gRNAs and chimeric RNAs, in which a gRNA is covalently linked to an editing site of...

We report the discovery of the new gravitational lens system HE 0230−2130, a QSO at redshift z = 2.162 consisting of at least five distinct components. Three of these are clearly lensed images of the QSO, one is most likely the lensing galaxy, while for the fifth component the identity is unclear: It could be a fourth QSO image (if so, then highly reddened), or another intervening galaxy, or a ...
