Dressing down criminals, deviants and other undesirabless

Dressing Up and Dressing Down: Clothing and Class Identity in the Novelas ejemplares

Promiscuity punishes sexual deviants.

Sex is good for us, but it is a compromise. For the benefit of being able to produce genetically variable offspring, we must pay the cost of passing on only half our genes to each of them. Whilst evolutionary biologists still puzzle over the precise details of why the benefits of sex so frequently seem to outweigh the costs (Neiman, Lively, & Meirmans, ), one major challenge to sexual reproduct...

Superior absorption and retention properties of foam-film silver dressing versus other commercially available silver dressing

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the physicochemical and structural properties of Medifoam®Silver and to compare with other commercially available silver-containing polyurethane (PU) foam dressing in vitro. METHODS Surface and cross-section of four polyurethane foam dressings were assessed with field-emission scanning electron microscope. Thickness, density, tensile strength...

Centromeric Chromatin: Histone deviants

Highly variant histones are targeted to specialized chromatin domains, such as the centromere where they have an essential role in the segregation of sister chromatids at mitosis.

Histone variants: deviants?

Histones are a major component of chromatin, the protein-DNA complex fundamental to genome packaging, function, and regulation. A fraction of histones are nonallelic variants that have specific expression, localization, and species-distribution patterns. Here we discuss recent progress in understanding how histone variants lead to changes in chromatin structure and dynamics to carry out specifi...
