Irradiating Ourselves

Background: Efficient incorporation of the cellular cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G (APO3G) into HIV-1 virions is necessary for its antiviral activity. Even though cellular RNAs are known to be nonspecifically incorporated into virus particles, we have previously found that encapsidation of APO3G into HIV-1 virions is specifically enhanced by viral genomic RNA. Intracellularly, APO3G was found to f...

A Map of Ourselves

When setting out through unknown territory, it is always wise to take a map. This is also true for explorations in biology, even when we ourselves are the subject. In this Select, we highlight intrepid mapmakers whose efforts to chart new realms of human biology will aid the discovery of new cellular mechanisms and therapies for disease. The human brain is arguably the most distinctive feature ...

Analysis of a Problem Using Various Visions

 In this paper an applied problem, where the response of interest is the number of success in a specific experiment, is considered and by various visions is studied. The effects of outlier values of response on results of a regression analysis are so important to be studied. For this reason, using diagnostic methods, outlier response values are recognized. It is shown that use of arc-sine ...

The Book of Visions 2000 – Visions of the Wireless World

Mobile communication systems and the Internet are key technologies for the development of the information society, in which access to applications and services of high quality is provided in a seamless manner so that the user is not aware of the nature of the underlying network technologies. Wireless systems beyond 3G will contribute to the implementation of such a user-friendly communication p...
