[1] A recent prospective on the Yellowstone Caldera discounts its explosive potential based on inferences from tomographic studies which suggests a high degree of crystallization of the underlying magma body. In this study, we show that many of the first teleseismic P-wave arrivals observed at seismic stations on the edge of the caldera did not travel through the magma body but have taken longe...

LOWNE (1890) described an organ, which he called the "prosternal organ", from the extreme anterior part of the thorax of the blowfly. This seems to be the first mention in the literature of the peculiar concentrations of hair sensilla which are to be found near the joint surfaces in many parts of the insect body, and whose function presents an interesting problem. Lowne's figure of the prostern...

the trouble to visualise a muscle they have just dissected by its surface-markings on their own bodies. Mr. Rawlings has found that the " dryness" of thesubject is mitigated if the importance of the surface-markings of the different structures is realised; all the most important have been fully and accurately described in this book. The numerous illustrations are a special feature of the work; ...

material after preparation. Crowns were ceTnented onto the teeth using zinc cement, Fuji I, Vitrerner, or C&B Metabond, The samples were thermal-cycled fer 10,OOO cycles, They were then immersed in erythrosine solution, sectioned, and observed under a microscope. Microieakage analyses were performed using a O'4 point system. The data were sLatistica!ly analyzed. There were significant differenc...

It is shown how the Beneath-and-Beyond algorithm can be used to yield another proof of the equivalence of Vand H-representations of convex polytopes. In this sense this paper serves as the sketch of an introduction to polytope theory with a focus on algorithmic aspects. Moreover, computational results are presented to compare Beneath-and-Beyond to other convex hull implementations.

Some 40% of knee-joint synovial fluids from arthritic patients show the presence of bleomycin-detectable iron. This is released from a protein component of the fluid to bleomycin at acidic pH values. Patients whose fluids release iron have lower contents of transferrin, lactoferrin and caeruloplasmin than do patients whose fluids do not release iron to bleomycin. These proteins are important ex...

order into a subject that has not been much dis cussed in the past.1 The amount of relevant work is considerable, and it is spread over most of cell biology. In consequence, it is quite certain that I shall have failed to notice many important papers, particularly in those subjects with which I am unfamiliar. I should be glad to hear of these omis sions. I must also apologize to the numerous au...

This paper describes an attempt to generate seemingly meaningful cryptic crossword clues without trying to analyse meaning but relying solely on word occurrence statistics. It is a continuation of a project in which I developed an application toolkit for cryptic crossword clue compilers. The software described here assembles simple cryptic clues using the resources developed in the earlier proj...

BACKGROUND Amino acid adenylation domains (A domains) are critical enzymes that dictate the identity of the amino acid building blocks to be incorporated during nonribosomal peptide (NRP) biosynthesis. NRPs represent a large group of valuable natural products that are widely applied in medicine, agriculture, and biochemical research. Salinispora arenicola CNS-205 is a representative strain of t...
