Pbx1 is a TALE (three amino acid loop extension) class homeodomain protein originally identified as the product of an oncogene in a subset of childhood leukemias (Nourse et al., 1990; Kamps et al., 1990). Subsequent studies have shown that Pbx1 is a homolog of Drosophila extradenticle (EXD) and a component of various protein complexes implicated in developmental gene expression (reviewed by Man...

Introduction An important recent trend in education has been towards the integration of different technologies, such as digital games (Chen, Chen & Liu, 2010; Chiang, Lin, Cheng & Liu, 2011; Lee & Chen, 2009; Lin & Liu, 2009; Liu & Lin, 2009) and educational robots (Chang, Lee, Chao, Wang & Chen, 2010a; Chang, Lee, Wang & Chen, 2010b; Wei, Hung, Lee & Chen, 2011), and the learning and teaching ...

The new species is a member of an apparently monophyletic group within the genus that includes R. flexile, R. walga, R. himanturi, R. burgeri, R. euzeti, R. hawaiiensis, R. urobatidium, R. paratrygoni, R. ditesticulum, R. tetralobatum, R. margaritense, R. biorchidum, and R. spinicephalum. All of these species have bothridia with medial longitudinal septa, a constriction at mid-bothridium, and, ...

which are more prevalent in low-income communities (5–7). The reasons underlying the suboptimal intake of fruits and vegetables in the United States are likely to be varied and complex and require much further investigation. I agree that food price influences food choice and that energy cost is inversely related to energy density. However, it does not necessarily follow that energy cost is the ...

Recently, Kumari et al. pointed out that Chang et al.’s scheme “Untraceable dynamic-identity-based remote user authentication scheme with verifiable password update” not only has several drawbacks, but also does not provide any session key agreement. Hence, they proposed an improved remote user authentication Scheme with key agreement on Chang et al.’s Scheme. After cryptanalysis, they confirm ...

pierre-gerlier forest and his colleagues make a strong argument for the need to expand policy capacity among healthcare actors. in this commentary, i develop an additional argument in support of forest et al view. forest et al rightly point to the need to have embedded policy experts to successfully translate healthcare reform policy into healthcare change. translation of externally generated i...
