Hair morphology is highly differentiated between populations and among people of European ancestry. Whereas hair morphology in East Asian populations has been studied extensively, relatively little is known about the genetics of this trait in Europeans. We performed a genome-wide association scan for hair morphology (straight, wavy, curly) in three Australian samples of European descent. All th...

We extend to the non-connective case a lemma of Bökstedt about the equivalence of the telescope with a more complicated homotopy colimit of symmetric spectra used in the construction of THH.

Tom Goodwillie conjectured that one could define a Hochschild homology theory for rings where the tensors are replaced by ‘tensors’ over the sphere spectrum, and get an invariant which would agree with the stable K-theory of the ring. This theory, now known as topological Hochschild homology and denoted by THH, was defined by Marcel Bökstedt [B], and in [D], Bjørn Dundas proved that it agrees, ...

Tetrahexahedral Pt nanocrystals (THH Pt NCs), bound by high index facets, belong to an emerging class of nanomaterials that promise to bridge the gap between model and practical electrocatalysts. The atomically stepped surfaces of THH Pt NCs are extremely active for the electrooxidation of small organic molecules but they also readily accommodate the dissociative chemisorption of such species, ...

Monolayer and bilayer TiO2 hollow hemisphere/sphere (THH/THS) films consisting of highly ordered hexagonal-patterned THHs/THSs with thin shells of ~10 nm and different diameters of ~170 and ~470 nm have been prepared by templating of two-dimensional polystyrene sphere (PS) assembly films coupled with TiO2 sputtering/wet coating approaches. Owing to their precisely adjustable structural paramete...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate longitudinally examination and visiting patterns in the Finnish Public Dental Service (PDS) and to relate these to patients' treatment needs and international recommendations on examination intervals. METHODS Data on patients and their dental visits in the period 2001-2013 were collected from five municipal PDS-units serving a total population of 320...

The cornified cell envelope (CE) is a specialized structure involved in barrier function in stratified squamous epithelia, and is assembled by transglutaminase cross-linking of several proteins. Murine forestomach epithelium undergoes particularly rigorous mechanical trauma, and these CEs contain the highest known content of small proline-rich proteins (SPRs). Sequencing analyses of these CEs r...
