The carboxy-terminal28 amino acids of the Saccharomyces cermisiae transcriptional activator protein GAL4 execute two functions-transcriptional activation and interaction with the negative regulatory protein, GALSO. Here we demonstrate that these two functions are separable by single amino acid changes within this region. We determined the sequences of four GAL4"-mutations, and characterized the...

First reported monthly and quarterly time series data on nine macroeconomic variables from 1960-1993 are given. Features of this so called "unrevised" or " ̄rst reported data" are discussed, and the data is compared with standard "fully revised" data using Granger causality tests. We reiterate that for the purposes of real-time forecating as well as comparing professional forecasts with traditio...

In this study, we introduce and examine the Egalitarian property for some power indices on the class of simple games. This property means that after intersecting a game with a symmetric or anonymous game the difference between the values of two comparable players does not increase. We prove that the Shapley–Shubik index, the absolute Banzhaf index, and the Johnston score satisfy this property. ...
