INTRODUCTION The population of elderly individuals continues to increase and is expected to double by 2050 (1). Medical and technological improvements and developments, which extend the longevity of those with significant ailments and the push for shorter hospital stays, will result in the provision of more nursing and medical care at home. A recent report by the Alzheimer’s Association indicat...

Mapping Invisibles - Acquiring GIS for Urban Planner Workshop

The paper presents the assumptions of the course syllabus: GIS basics: parametric description of the urban space realised at the Architecture for the Society of Knowledge Master of Science degree program at the Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology. The research conducted by students covered mapping of different aspects of urban phenomena and their relation with physical city...

The frequency of x-ray induced recessive visible mutations in the rat.

DELETERIOUS mutations which act postnatally are considered to be more serious in man than (are prenatal lethals. The former class frequently represents a human tragedy, while lethals which act in the early embryonic stages may pass completely unnoticed. Recessive visible mutations in experimental mammals are roughly equivalent to recessive genetic diseases in man, and in some cases probably rep...

Cytogenetic Analysis of the Action of Carcinogens and Tumor Inhibitors in Drosophila Melanogaster. Lethal Mutations by Related Nitrogen Mustards Vii. Differential Induction of Visible To

T H E analysis of the mutagenic properties of various alkylating compounds on the testis of adult Drosophila, has revealed some differences in their mode of action (FAHMY and FAHMY 1956). The over-all mutagenic potency was shown to depend not only on the chemical reactivity of the alkylating groups, but also on the molecular configuration of the nonalkylating (or prosthetic) moiety of the molec...
