The cell envelope ofMycobacterium smegmatis: cytochemistry and architectural implications

Cytology and cytochemistry of the leukemia cell.

In contrast to the modern science of molecular biology, cytology and cytochemistry of human blood cells have a long history. Some of the principal mechanisms of protein biosynthesis were already discovered with cytological methods in the 19th century. In 1899, a young French anatomist, GANIER (8), demonstrated in his thesis the relationship between specific morphologicd changes in the cytoplasm...

Cell Envelope Structure and Functions in Gram-negative Bacteria

Pushing the Envelope: Antitrust Implications of the Envelope Theorem

The cell surface of Trypanosoma cruzi: cytochemistry and freeze-fracture.

The ultrastructure of epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, obtained from acellular cultures, and bloodstream trypomastigotes, isolated from infected mice, were studied by thin-sectioning and freeze-fracturing techniques. Epimastigotes showed a thin (5 nm) surface coat when stained with ruthenium red, while the surface coat of trypomastigotes was more prominent (15 nm thick). Both P and E faces o...

Determining the Envelope of Emergent Agent Behaviour via Architectural Transformation

In this paper we propose a methodology to help analyse tendencies in MAS to complement those of simple inspection, Monte Carlo and syntactic proof. We suggest an architecture that allows an exhaustive model-based search of possible system trajectories in significant fragments of a MAS using forward inference. The idea is to identify tendencies, especially emergent tendencies, by automating the ...
