To interact successfully, individuals must not only recognize one another as intentional agents driven primarily by internal mental states, but also possess a system for making reliable and useful inferences about the nature of those beliefs, feelings, goals, and dispositions. The ability to make such mental state inferences (i.e., to mentalize or mindread) is the central accomplishment of huma...

Abstract: The civil construction industry has great prominence in the national economy, however, sector is responsible for generating a large amount of Construction Waste (CW). CW recycling plants present technological solutions that aim to minimize environmental impact caused by inadequate disposal CW, and generated material no longer problem becomes sustainable outlet scarcity natural resourc...

The region of the rubella virus nonstructural open reading frame that contains the papain-like cysteine protease domain and its cleavage site was expressed with a Sindbis virus vector. Cys-1151 has previously been shown to be required for the activity of the protease (L. D. Marr, C.-Y. Wang, and T. K Frey, Virology 198:586-592, 1994). Here we show that His-1272 is also necessary for protease ac...

Fluoroquinolones are antibacterial drugs that inhibit DNA Gyrase and Topoisomerase IV. These essential enzymes facilitate chromosome replication and RNA transcription by regulating chromosome supercoiling. High-level resistance to fluoroquinolones in E. coli requires the accumulation of multiple mutations, including those that alter target genes and genes regulating drug efflux. Previous studie...

Marr (1982) famously proposed that our theories of information-processing devices can be usefully stated at multiple levels: the computational level, the representational-algorithmic level, and the implementational level. Marr described the computational level as an answer to the question “What problem must this device solve?” He argued that the computational level would specify the properties ...
