New antitumor substances, designated BE-12406A and BE-12406B, were isolated from the culture broth of a streptomycete, strain BA 12406. The active principles were extracted from mycelium by methanol and successively purified by silica gel column chromatography and preparative TLC. BE-12406A and BE-12406B inhibited the growth of vincristine-resistant or doxorubicin-resistant P388 murine leukemia...

The Party of Right, through its various activities, defined Croatian political history from the Party's beginnings in the 1860s to the end of the first World War; after 1918, a newly emergent geopolitical arena brought about by the demise of Austria-Hungary, the collapse of the Habsburg dynasty, and the predominance of Stjepan Radić's peasant ideology on the Croatian political scene relegated S...

According to The Bell Curve (New York: Free Press, 1994), Black Americans are genetically inferior to Whites. That's not the only point in Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's book. They also argue that there is something called "general intelligence" which is measured by IQ tests, socially important, and 60 percent "heritable" within Whites. (I'll explain heritability below.) But my target ...

We study various modifications to the minimal models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking. We argue that, under reasonable assumptions, the structure of the messenger sector is rather restricted. We investigate the effects of possible mixing between messenger and ordinary squark and slepton fields and, in particular, violation of universality. We show that acceptable values for the μ and B ...

From a cultural history and game theoretical perspective my work focuses on the relationship between the fantasy subculture, fantasy role-playing games and the daily life of their participants in the Netherlands. Main research themes are the construction of game/play space and identities. Within this context I elaborate in this paper on the usefulness of the term magic circle (Johan Huizinga). ...

Engineering I loved it, but it did not love me back. Is it because I am a woman or because I am Black? These are traits, by which I am defined. Labeled, placed in a box, I have been confined. My intellect, my own abilities, I am beginning to doubt. To gain back self-worth, I must get out. Others too, sad to say, will face this same dilemma, before graduation day. Is this degree worth it? Am I t...

It is not every day that a scholar stoops to defend legislatures. Oh sure, lots of political theorists rush to the defense of democracy in the abstract, but they often have little to say about actual democratic practice. By contrast, empirical political scientists (and “positive political theorists”) have lavished attention on the institutions of democratic governance such as legislatures (part...
