Cutaneous lupus vulgaris: Bringing the wolf out of the darkness

Lupus vulgaris is the commonest form of cutaneous tuberculosis accounting for about 75% of the cases. Clinical dermatologists need to be aware of the myriad clinical presentations of this condition as it can be misdiagnosed especially when the index of suspicion is low. It is important to make a diagnosis and promptly treat as it can be disfiguring and destructive. Introduction Tuberculosis (TB...

Moving Up or Moving Out :

This research note presents a theory of congressional retirement and tests it with data from the 102d Congress. The results bridge the gap between the 1970s macro retirement studies and the more recent micro-centered approaches by highlighting the importance of career ceilings. Defined as the interaction between formal position and years of service, the career ceilings variable can be interpret...

Out of darkness: long non-coding RNAs come of age

It has been known for a number of years that only about 2% of this RNA encodes proteins. However, numerous studies employing both tiling arrays and high-throughput sequencing found that the genome is pervasively transcribed, with most DNA copied, at least at some point in time, into RNA. Indeed, Birney et al. (2007) estimated that 93% of the human genome is transcribed. Because of a dearth of f...

Moving the Default Memory Manager Out of the Mach Kernel

1. Abstract We have implemented a default memory manager for the Mach 3.0 kernel that resides entirely in user space. The default memory manager uses a small set of kernel privileges to lock itself into memory, preventing deadlocks against other Mach system services. An extension to the Mach boot sequence loads both the kernel and user program images at system startup time. The resulting system...
