As a postdoc studying chromosomal structure with David Agard and John Sedat in the late 1980s, Andrew Belmont had observed intriguing ultrastructural details in interphase nuclei. “We’d see large-scale fi bers about 100 nanometers thick, and then there’d be a 10to 30-nanometer-thick fi ber looping out, which we thought might represent an active gene,” says Belmont. “However, we couldn’t rule ou...

Face recognition is performed under conditions of ongoing ecological change in our daily lives. In order to recognize someone in such circumstances, it is necessary to ignore contingent perceptual modifications such as clothing, makeup, facial expression, and environmental context. In contemporary research on episodic memory, a distinction is commonly made between familiarity and recollection. ...

Surveys are an efficient and convenient means of collecting data on individuals’ environmental concern and environmental behavior, two domains between which a tenuous relationship is often observed. One aspect of tenuousness is addressed by identifying distinct subdimensions of self-reported private environmental behaviors. Survey methods more often than not fail to account for the social conte...

IN this issue of the Journal, I have included a summary of a workshop held in November 2007 on the topic of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) (1). This syndrome was first described over 120 years ago by Hutchinson (2), and although the phenotype does include some aging-like changes, biogerontologists have questioned whether it is a viable model for studying accelerated aging (3). The ...

The Silk Road connected the East and West for almost 2,000 years from B.C. 300 to 1700s. It provided a network of trade routes as well mechanism reciprocal exchange knowledge that stimulated diffused great innovations such printing, textiles, gun powder. However, with shifting center gravity economic activity over recent centuries, thriving declined largely faded away. And one consequence, flow...

January/February 2015 Volume 49 Number 1 115 that significantly reduce the survival rate of the fish and ultimately compromise the outcome of the tagging study (Bridger & Booth, 2003; Lindholm et al., 2005). Barotrauma—pressurerelated stress caused by the overexpansion and possible rupture of the swim bladder—is the most detrimental effect to fishes retrieved from relatively deeper depths (Parr...

Nursing science and practice focus on health promotion, disease prevention, supporting across the trajectory of acute chronic conditions, including palliative end-of-life care. We include individuals, families, communities lifespan who are diverse in many ways often suffer from inequities associated with multi-level social environmental factors, racism. The National Institute Research others ha...

From 2003 to 2006, samples of intestinal content and spleens from 10-day-old to 6-week-old fattening turkeys showing clinical signs of enteritis were analyzed by specific PCR and RT-PCRs for detection of haemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV), avian reovirus (ARV), turkey astrovirus-2 (TastV-2), and turkey coronavirus (TCV). A total of 23 flocks from 6 farms were included in the study. Specific seq...

Gifted underachievement, an issue that affects 15‐40% of the gifted population, occurs when a gifted child does not perform to the level of his or her accelerated abilities. This phenomenon develops through a blend of personal and environmental influences, including individual, family, and school factors. Furthermore, underachievement can occur when gifted students are not assessed or identifi...

New means for activating covalent bonds in organic compounds are crucial further advancing application fields from pharmaceuticals to plastics syntheses. The manufacturing of almost every daily product can be impacted by the development such bond activations. However, traditional catalysts these transformations faced with challenges as catalyst stability, recyclability, or energy demand. Due th...
