Taking A Peek Inside The Turtle’s Shell

This paper considers two issues. Firstly it examines the efficacy of a mechanical trading model freely available from the ‘Turtletrader’ web page on the Internet. The results are tested against the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) Weak-Form as proposed by Fama (1970). The findings show that EMH Weak-Form fails to describe the profits generated by the model when examining CBOT Corn and T-Bond f...

The Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 Exoproteome: Taking a Peek outside the Box

The interest in examining the subset of proteins present in the extracellular milieu, the exoproteome, has been growing due to novel insights highlighting their role on extracellular matrix organization and biofilm formation, but also on homeostasis and development. The cyanobacterial exoproteome is poorly studied, and the role of cyanobacterial exoproteins on cell wall biogenesis, morphology a...

Does PEEK/HA Enhance Bone Formation Compared With PEEK in a Sheep Cervical Fusion Model?

BACKGROUND Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has a wide range of clinical applications but does not directly bond to bone. Bulk incorporation of osteoconductive materials including hydroxyapatite (HA) into the PEEK matrix is a potential solution to address the formation of a fibrous tissue layer between PEEK and bone and has not been tested. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Using in vivo ovine animal models, we ...

A quantitative metabolomics peek into planarian regeneration.

The fresh water planarian species Schmidtea mediterranea is an emerging stem cell model because of its capability to regenerate a whole animal from a small piece of tissue. It is one of the best model systems to address the basic mechanisms essential for regeneration. Here, we are interested in studying the roles of various amines, thiols and nucleotides in planarian regeneration, stem cell fun...
