Each Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome contains a single centromere composed of three conserved DNA elements, CDE I, II, and III. The histone H3 variant, Cse4p, is an essential component of the S. cerevisiae centromere and is thought to replace H3 in specialized nucleosomes at the yeast centromere. To investigate the genetic interactions between Cse4p and centromere DNA, we measured the chrom...

We aim at constructing a common platform for compact model development based on the Verilog-A language for collaboration among different research groups. The project aims in particular at a framework for efficient development of multi-gate MOSFET models for circuit simulation. We have developed several prototypes of multi-gate MOSFET models based on different concepts till now. Phenomena expect...

Clyde B. Schechter, MA, MD, FACPM, and Elizabeth A. Walker, DNSc, RN, CDE Improved health outcomes for individuals with diabetes depend on integrating self-management into daily life. A wide variety of educational, behavioral, and affective interventions are available that individually produce modest improvements in patient adherence to treatment recommendations in diabetes and related chronic ...

The lack of reproducibility in many areas of experimental science has a number of causes, including a lack of transparency and precision in the description of experimental approaches. This has far-reaching consequences, including wasted resources and slowing of progress. Additionally, the large number of laboratories around the world publishing articles on a given topic make it difficult, if no...

Until recently it has been assumed that the autoantibodies found in acquired haemolytic anaemia are non-specific; that is to say they react with all types of human red cells and are unrelated to any known blood group antibodies. However, Weiner, Battey, Cleghorn, Marson, and Meynell (1953) have described a patient in whom the auto-antibody had the specificity anti-e, the patient's red cells hav...

Dust-related dose-response decrements in lung function among coal miners have been reported in several studies, with varying magnitudes across populations. Few studies have compared differences between current and former coal miners. No studies on dose response relationships with lung function have been conducted in South African coal mines, one of the top three producers of coal internationall...

In a previous article in KT Update (Dijkers, 2014), the development of meta-analysis (MA) was sketched from (1) meta-analysis of individual study findings (e.g., means and standard deviations, correlations) reported in the literature, to (2) meta-analysis of individual subject data harvested from the published literature, to (3) merging of datasets from multiple studies that share subject popul...

LAWLER, M.W, B.S., and RUTH SANGER, B.Sc.* T HIS paper reports the results of testing 1073 samples of blood, from English people, with the Rh antibodies anti-C, anti-C”, anti-c, anti-D, anti-E and anti-c. To these are added another 92.7, tested with anti-C, anti-c, anti-D and antiE, the results of which have...
