Why is computer interaction using a 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) tool such a hard task while an untrained child can easily build 3D buildings out of a Lego set? We believe that the reason lies in the current Human Computer interface (HCI). TUIs (Tangible User Interfaces) offer natural means of interaction with computers and have already been shown to simplify existing computerized application...

It is well established that the rate at which liver tumors occur in rats fed p-dimethylaminoazobenzene can be altered greatly by dietary means. This subject has been reviewed through 1944 (15) and extended in more recent work (3~ 16, 17). The dietary inhibitors and accelerators that have been reported include members of the vitamin B complex, certain lipids, some sulfur-containing amino acids, ...

Two cDNAs encoding an abundant chicken muscle extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated laminin-binding protein (LBP) have been isolated and sequenced. The predicted primary amino acid sequence includes a probable signal peptide and a site for N-linked glycosylation, but lacks a hydrophobic segment long enough to span the membrane. The COOH terminus consists of an unusual repeat of 33 consecutive a...

[1] Large storms make it difficult to extract the long-term trend of erosion or accretion from shoreline position data. Here we make storms part of the shoreline change model by means of a storm function. The data determine storm amplitudes and the rate at which the shoreline recovers from storms. Historical shoreline data are temporally sparse, and inclusion of all storms in one model over-fit...

Anato~llical and physiological data from lower primates, and psychophysical data from hun~ans, is used to construct a quantitative model of the local and global map structure (functional architecture) of human striate cortex. A series of successful estimates deriving from this model are reviewed. including a prediction for the width of human ocular dominance columns, which has recently been ver...

Flour and bread 43 the urinary excretions. It may also be argued that when fortified white bread is used in the diet there may be insufficient vitamin E. I n spite of the paper by Moore, Sharman & Ward (1957), there is no evidence for this belief. In baking, 50% of the vitamin E in the flour is destroyed and cereals do not contribute much vitamin E to the diet (see Frazer, Hickman, Sammons & Sh...

By using the 1.6 million single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data set from Perlegen Sciences [Hinds, D. A., Stuve, L. L., Nilsen, G. B., Halperin, E., Eskin, E., Ballinger, D. G., Frazer, K. A. & Cox, D. R. (2005) Science 307, 1072-1079], a probabilistic search for the landscape exhibited by positive Darwinian selection was conducted. By sorting each high-frequency allele by homozygos...
