If it is methylated it must be Tectonic.

The molecular mechanisms by which organisms defend themselves against predators and the molecular weapons the predators use to attack their victims have coevolved over eons of time. Microbial pathogens share the common feature of being covered in a surface coat comprised of carbohydrates (glycans) linked to lipids and proteins or as free polysaccharides. In vertebrates, such defense mechanisms ...

Murphy's law—if anything can go wrong, it will

The quality of bacteriophage electron microscopy appears to be on a downward course since the 1980s. This coincides with the introduction of digital electron microscopes and a general lowering of standards, possibly due to the disappearance of several world-class electron microscopists The most important problem seems to be poor contrast. Positive staining is frequently not recognized as an und...

Database Replication: If You Must be Lazy, be Consistent

Due to severe performance penalties associated with synchronous replication, there is a significant interest in asynchronous replica management protocols. Lazy protocols currently in use either do not guarantee consistency and serializability as needed by transactional semantics or they impose restrictions on placement of data and which data object can be updated. In this paper we consider an a...
