-We present new precise U-Th ages of well-preserved coral specimens collected from the island of Barbados, West Indies, and the atoll of Mururoa, French Polynesia. Our new data confirm the ages attributed to oxygen isotope stage 7 in the framework of the Milankovitch theory (BERGER, 1978; MARTINSON et al., 1987). By using thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), it is also possible to quant...

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 234, 23 pages, 14 figures, 3 tables, 1976.—The genus Alabes, monotypic representative of the Cheilobranchidae, shares a large number of specializations with the members of the Gobi...

Bacillus subtilis tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) is a homodimeric enzyme. A model for its ability to recognize tRNA(Trp) in B. subtilis was proposed by using computer modelling. This was based on the the fact that there is high homology among bacterial TrpRSs [Chen, Jiang, Jin and Wang (2001) Acta Biochim. Biophys. Sinica 33, 687-690], in which the enzyme dimer binds to two tRNA(Trp) mole...

We reviewed 234 benign solitary schwannomas treated between 1984 and 2004. The mean age of the patients was 45.2 years (11 to 82). There were 170 tumours (73%) in the upper limb, of which 94 (40%) arose from the brachial plexus or other nerves within the posterior triangle of the neck. Six (2.6%) were located within muscle or bone. Four patients (1.7%) presented with tetraparesis due to an intr...

The genus Micromonospora Ørskov 1923 belongs to the family Micromonosporaceae (Stackebrandt et al., 1997) and currently encompasses 18 validly described species (the type strain NTCT 4582 of Micromonospora gallica is not available any longer, Kawamoto, 1989), including the recently described species M. eburnea, M. aurantinigra, M. endolithica and M. mirobrigensis (Hirsch et al., 2004; Thawai et...

Morphological pattern of 234 consecutive cases of various types of leukemias is presented. Acute leukemias (62.8%) were commoner than chronic (37.2%). Amongst acute leukemias, myeloid leukemias (AML) were more frequent as compared to lymphoblastic (ALL). AML:ALL ratio was 2.57:1 in adults and 1:3 in children. Amongst AML cases, M4 was the commonest, followed by M2, M1, M3 and M4 and M6 and M7 r...

We report Cl((2)P(3/2)) and Cl*((2)P(1/2)) fragment images following ClN(3) photolysis in the 234-280 nm region measured by velocity map imaging. Kinetic energy distributions change shape with photolysis wavelength from bimodal at 234 and 240 nm to single peak at 266 and 280 nm. Where two peaks exist, their ratio is significantly different for Cl and Cl* fragments. The single peak of 266 and 28...

plant, the rhizomes of which have been used for the treatment of enteritis and bacillary dysentery in China and Korea. Several flavonol glycosides, lignans, monoterpenes, tannins, and triterpenenes have been isolated as chemical constituents of this plant. A previous bioactivity-guided investigation for the aerial parts of this plant demonstrated that flavonol glycosides possess hepatoprotectiv...
