D uring development, cells need to communicate with each other to establish properly organised and functional tissues. Cells communicate with each other in various ways, such as by secreting and receiving diffusible molecules (morphogens, hormones, and neurotransmitters) or by establishing intercellular connections (gap junctions and cell protrusions) to allow a direct exchange of instructive f...

The characterization of damping is important in making accurate predictions of both the true response and the frequency response of any device or structure dominated by energy dissipation. The process of modeling damping matrices and experimental verification of those is challenging because damping can not be determined via static tests as can mass and stiffness. Furthermore, damping is more di...

The work of virtual teams is increasingly important to today’s organizations, work that is accomplished predominantly via computer-mediated communication. The authors investigate the moderating role of experience with instant messaging on the team interpersonal processes (cohesion and openness) to team effectiveness relationship in virtual teams. Data were obtained from 365 virtual team members...

The X family DNA polymerase from African swine fever virus (Pol X) has recently been characterized as the smallest known nucleotidyl transferase and has been suggested to play a role in DNA repair analogous to that of its mammalian sequence homologue, DNA polymerase â (Pol â).1 In this study an indepth kinetic analysis of Pol X, including catalytic efficiency and fidelity measurements for all p...

1. I N T R O D U C T I O N There has been a great deal of interest of late in the automatic induction of natural language grammar. Given the difficulty inherent in manually building a robust parser, along with the availability of large amounts of training material, automatic grammar induction seems like a path worth pursuing. A number of systems have been built which can be trained automaticall...

The design of team training programs and other team interventions could benefit from an understanding of team cognition. The research presented in this article evaluates methods for eliciting and assessing team knowledge during acquisition of a complex task. Knowledge measures are evaluated in terms of their ability to predict team performance and also in terms of how they reflect skill acquisi...
