101 THIS TWO-PART FEATURE BEGAN with a discussion of why unconventional left-turn alternatives hold promise for the relief of congested urban and suburban arterials. Part One, which was printed in the September 1998 issue of ITE Journal on pages 26–29, also described three unconventional alternatives—the median U-turn, the bowtie and the superstreet. This part discusses four more alternatives.

High-resolution mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is a powerful method for the identification of soluble protein complexes and large-scale affinity purification screens can decode entire protein interaction networks. In contrast, protein complexes residing on chromatin have been much more challenging, because they are difficult to purify and often of very low abundance. However, this is c...

Background: Postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis is an important factor in determining the time needed to recover from prolonged exercise. Objective: This study investigated whether an increase in carbohydrate intake, ingestion of a mixture of protein hydrolysate and amino acids in combination with carbohydrate, or both results in higher postexercise muscle glycogen synthesis rates than does ...

in the present study, variation among different bacterial strains was observed in the plaques of tobacco chewers (tc) as compared to those from normal persons (non tobacco chewers) (ntc). bacterial strain j1 (dominant in the plaques of ntc) did not initiate the process of adhesion (biofilm formation) until it appeared to have reached a required population density necessary for the production of...

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), along with other forms of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, is an increasingly common clinico-pathological syndrome. It is frequently associated with obesity, especially visceral fat, and type 2 diabetes, and is intimately related to markers of the insulin resistance syndrome. Both the prevalence and the severity of liver steatosis are related to body mass i...
