Signal recognition particle (SRP), an 11S ribonucleoprotein (Walter and Blobel (1982) Nature 299, 691-698), is required for translocation of secretory proteins across microsomal membranes (Walter and Blobel (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 7112-7116) and for asymmetric integration into microsomal membranes of a transmembrane protein (Anderson et al., (1982) J. Cell Biol. 93, 501-506). We d...

A shifted cyclic reduction algorithm has been proposed by He, Meini, and Rhee [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 23 (2001), pp. 673–691] for finding the stochastic matrix G associated with discrete-time quasi-birth-death (QBD) processes. We point out that the algorithm has quadratic convergence even for null recurrent QBDs. We also note that the approximations (to the matrix G) obtained by their algo...

2014 The use of magnetic fields in neutron scattering experimentation is reviewed briefly. Two general areas of application can be distinguished. In one the field acts to change the properties of the scattering sample ; in the second the field acts on the neutron itself. Several examples are discussed. Precautions necessary for high precision polarized beam measurements are reviewed. Revue Phys...

BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant non-autoimmune hyperthyroidism (ADNAH) is a rare genetic disorder of the endocrine system. Molecular genetic studies in ADNAH have revealed heterozygous germline mutations in the TSHR. To data, mutations leading to an increase in the constitutive activation of the TSHR have been described in the transmembrane segments, exoloops and cytoplasmic loop of TSHR. These m...
