Cosmetics is as old as the history of human being. It has been present in human life since the times of the most ancient civilizations. Perfumery is one of the oldest branches of cosmetics. Valerian perfumes found from the Pharaohs’ pyramids, had maintained their aroma.

The advent of the polyrnerase chain reaction (PCR) is transforming many aspects of molecular biology. An example of this is the field of ‘molecular archaeology’ the retrieval of DNA sequences from ancient tissues which owes its very existence to this technique [ 11. The ability of the PCR to amplify a few intact DNA molecules that are extracted from old tissues has for the first time ‘made it p...

The work presented here uses a simple stochastic model as a cognitive psychometric tool for analyzing response time data in the Go/No-Go Discrimination task with motivationally distinct conditions. The parameters of the model inform us of underlying cognitive mechanisms because they have an established psychological meaning and allow us to quantify a subjects ability and response caution. Using...

Almost 40 years ago, the first pathogenic human retrovirus was discovered and shown to cause a T-cell leukemia in humans (Poiesz et al., 1980a, 1981). Thus, a new paradigm was established showing that a virus can directly cause cancer in humans. At that time, the only other suspected case was the connection between the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Burkitt’s Lymphoma and later nasopharyngeal car...
