The ability to discriminate between pairs of photographs according to the portrayed model’s visual attention status was examined in four olive baboons. Two baboons successfully managed to solve the problem, even when attention was demonstrated by eye direction alone. A third showed an ability to discriminate head direction but not eye direction. In order to investigate further their ability to ...

Extracting γ from Bs(d) → J/ψ KS and Bd(s) → D + − d(s) Dd(s)

A completely general parametrization of the time-dependent decay rates of the modes B s → J/ψ K S and B d → J/ψ K S is given, which are related to each other through the U-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. Owing to the interference of current–current and penguin processes, the B s → J/ψ K S observables probe the angle γ of the unitarity triangle. Using the U-spin symmetry, the overa...

RAG2's non-core domain contributes to the ordered regulation of V(D)J recombination

Variable (diversity) joining [V(D)J] recombination of immune gene loci proceeds in an ordered manner with D to J portions recombining first and then an upstream V joins that recombinant. We present evidence that the non-core domain of recombination activating gene (RAG) protein 2 is involved in the regulation of recombinatorial order. In mice lacking the non-core domain of RAG2 the ordered rear...
