And finally, to make the book amusing and enjoyable seems to me a bet on a losing horse. Even worse when the horse is made fr...

Sphingolipid imbalance can take out an eye

Sphingolipid imbalance can take out an eye Y onamine et al. report that the relative amounts of two sphingolipids control the breakdown of light-sensing proteins and determine whether eye cells survive. Sphingolipids aren’t just building blocks of membranes. Some of the molecules, such as sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) and dihydrosphingosine 1 phosphate (DHS1P), take part in signaling pathways t...

Do psyhiatric out-patients take their drugs?

It is common clinical experience that there are patients who do not take the drugs prescribed for them. Less is known of the frequency with which this occurs, but a number of studies have indicated that the failure rate may be surprisingly high-up to 50% (Benstead and Theobald, 1952 ; Haler, 1952; Mohler et al., 1955 ; Simpson, 1956 ; Dixon et at., 1957; Luntz and Austin, 1960).

un 2 00 9 How Much Work Does It Take To Straighten a Plane Graph Out ?

We prove that if one wants to make a plane graph drawing straightline then in the worst case one has to move almost all vertices. The second vesion of this e-print includes literally the first version. In addition, Appendix A gives an explicit bound on the number of fixed vertices and Appendix B gives an overview of related work. The final version appears as [KPRSV09]. We use the standard conce...
