The Pink Elephant Revisited

Pink noise of ionic conductance through single artificial nanopores revisited.

We report voltage-clamp measurements through single conical nanopore obtained by chemical etching of a single ion track in polyimide film. Special attention is paid to the pink noise of the ionic current (i.e., 1/f noise) measured with different filling liquids. The relative pink-noise amplitude is almost independent of concentration and pH for KCl solutions, but varies strongly using ionic liq...

Stalking the perfect measure of implicit self-esteem: the blind men and the elephant revisited?

Recent interest in the implicit self-esteem construct has led to the creation and use of several new assessment tools whose psychometric properties have not been fully explored. In this article, the authors investigated the reliability and validity of seven implicit self-esteem measures. The different implicit measures did not correlate with each other, and they correlated only weakly with meas...

In the pink

" In 2009 we are predicting the Darwin effect will encourage more visitors to Ecuador and could see the Galapagos islands join Macchu Picchu at the top of the continent's 'must-visit' list, " says tour operator The Adventure Company. The company reflects the views of many in the tourist industry that believes the Galapagos Islands are likely to attract increased numbers of visitors this year, w...

Beating the Pink

Introduction: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an HIV associated skin lesion. Kaposi sarcoma is rare in HIV negative patients and is associated with HHV-8 infection. Clinically it presents as a pink nodular mass, single or multiple which can mimic pyogenic granuloma and bacillary angiomatosis. The etiology associated with HHV-8. Treatment options modalities can vary between from electrocuatery to surgica...
