These studies were undertaken in order to determine the clinical value of the sodium benzoate test of renal function as proposed by Kingsbury and Swanson (27). Hippuric acid has claimed the attention of physiologic chemists and pathologists for many years (40). The basis of this interest lies in the generally accepted fact of its formation in the body by the conjugation of benzoic acid, or its ...

Seizing the White Space: an interview with Mark W. Johnson

What makes opportunities like these so difficult to grasp is that, so often, they require companies to move far beyond their core into uncharted territory – into their white space. That’s a scary place, one where many companies’ experience is (as one CEO put it) “unblemished by success.” But if the danger is all too obvious, its causes are not. The white space is hard to navigate not because it...

Evolutionary Adaptation to Temperature. Vi. Phenotypic Acclimation and Its Evolution in Escherichia C O W Albert

Abslracl.-Acclimation refers to reversible, nongenetic changes in phenotype that are induced by specific environniental conditions. Acclimation is generally assumed to improve function in the environment that induces it (the beneficial acclimation hypothesis). In this study, we experimentally tested this assumption by measuring relative fitness of the bacterium Escherichia coli acclimated to di...

Thermodynamics and Electrodynamics of Unusual Narrow - gap Semiconductors Albert Migliori , Timothy W . Darling

This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) that has led to a fully funded DOE program to continue this work. The project was directed toward exploring the Ettingshausen effect. which is the direct extension of the familiar Peltier-effect refrigerator (the process used in popular coolers that ...
