Transition from Legal Education to Practice: Extra-Curricular Competitions offer the Missing Link

From OOA to C++: The Missing Link

In 1912, one Charles Dawson discovered a skull fragment that was accepted as evidence of the long-sought missing link between apes and humans. In 1953, Piltdown Man as the fossil was known, was shown to be a forgery, a combination of a 600-year-old human skull and a modern orangutan. Sadly, this tale is redolent of today's methods for making the transition from object-oriented analysis to code:...

The Permeability Transition in Plant Mitochondria: The Missing Link

The synthesis of ATP in mitochondria is dependent on a low permeability of the inner membrane. Nevertheless, mitochondria can undergo an increased permeability to solutes, named permeability transition (PT) that is mediated by a permeability transition pore (PTP). PTP opening requires matrix Ca(2+) and leads to mitochondrial swelling and release of intramembrane space proteins (e.g., cytochrome...
