“The first time was not so painful they claim!” This is an example of comments expressed by university students who were compelled to use Habbo Hotel in their studies. In this article we analyse the usefulness of an internet game called Habbo Hotel as a collaborative platform when the students carry out their studies on digital media. Today, digital media has evolved to concern several dimensio...

INO80-C and SWR-C are conserved members of a subfamily of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling enzymes that function in transcription and genome-maintenance pathways. A crucial role for these enzymes is to control chromosomal distribution of the H2A.Z histone variant. Here we use electron microscopy (EM) and two-dimensional class averaging to demonstrate that these remodelling enzymes have simil...

We consider a dynamic asset pricing model with one asset, in which one informed trader trades against liquidity traders and competitive market makers. Informed trader has private information about the fundamental value of the asset as well as the exogenous demand shock on the market. We characterize the unique linear Markov equilibrium of the model. With just the private information about funda...

We describe and contrast three different measures of an institution’s credit risk. “Insolvency risk” is the conditional probability of default due to deterioration of asset quality if there is no run by short term creditors. “Total credit risk” is the unconditional probability of default, either because of a (short term) creditor run or (long run) asset insolvency. “Illiquidity risk”is the diff...

In diverse cell types, ankyrin tethers a variety of ion transport and cell adhesion molecules to the spectrin-based membrane skeleton. In the whole kidney, epithelial ankyrin (Ank3) is the predominantly expressed ankyrin and is expressed as distinct spliceoforms. Antibodies against a portion of the Ank3 regulatory domain detected four major spliceoforms at 215, 200, 170, and 120 kDa. Immunoblot...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the diagnostic performance of ultrasonographic measurement of the cervical length and vaginal fetal fibronectin determination in the prediction of preterm delivery in patients with preterm uterine contractions and intact membranes. STUDY DESIGN Ultrasound examination of the cervical length and fetal fibronectin determination in vaginal secret...
