following were miscarriages, and the last an abortion in December last. First attack of epilepsy occurred in the third month of the first pregnancy ; the last, two days before admission. The fits occur during the night; of this the patient does not retain recollection the following morning. The patient was under treatment from 22nd September to 22nd November, during which period 11 observations...

Although an extensive number of publications have been reported on nanoimprint lithography (NIL) techniques, the ability of NIL for three-dimensional (3-D) patterning has not been fully addressed in terms of the mold fabrication and imprint processes. Developing technologies for patterning 3-D and multilevel features are important because they eliminate multiple steps and complex interlevel ali...

or as the ends of a boiv are drawn together." They have a legend that it visits the country every thirty years. The epidemic arrived in Bhamo in June last, having travelled up the Irrawaddy Yalley starting in Rangoon in May and visiting Mandalay during the early part of June. It is interesting to note this following of the important trade route. It is not unlikely that the epidemic originated f...

Semi-dwarfing genes have contributed to enhanced lodging resistance, resulting in increased crop productivity. In the history of grain sorghum breeding, the spontaneous mutation, dw1 found in Memphis in 1905, was the first widely used semi-dwarfing gene. Here, we report the identification and characterization of Dw1. We performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and cloning, and revealed...

A rice introgression line, NIL-SS1, and its recurrent parent, Teqing, were used to investigate the influence of the introgression segment on plant growth. The current research showed NIL-SS1 had an increased flag leaf width, total leaf area, spikelet number per panicle and grain yield, but a decreased photosynthetic rate. The metabolite differences in NIL-SS1 and Teqing at different development...

The influence of anterior pituitary hormones on the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals has been reported. Hypophysectomy (HYPOX) in the rat causes atrophy of the intestinal mucosa, reduction of gastric secretion and intestinal absorption, and increased susceptibility to infections. To our knowledge, there are no studies on the humoral immune response of the gut-associated lymphoid tis...

1. Neutral glycosphingolipids of hamster fibroblast NIL cells have been characterized as follows: glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide (betaGall yields 4Glc yields Cer), a digalactosylceramide (alphaGall yields 4betaGal yields Cer), a trihexosylceramide (alphaGall yields 4betaGall yields 4Glc yields Cer), two kinds of ceramide tetrasaccharides (A: alphaGa1NAcl yields 3betaGalNAcl yields 3alphaGal...

In this paper we identify the “nil-terms” for Waldhausen’s algebraic K-theory of spaces functor as the reduced K-theory of a category of equivariant spaces equipped with a homotopically nilpotent endomorphism.

We study subgroups Γ in Aff(N) = N ⋊ Aut(N) acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on N . Here N is a simply connected, connected real nilpotent Lie group of finite dimension n. This situation is a natural generalization of the so-called affine crystallographic groups. We prove that for all dimensions 1 ≤ n ≤ 5 the generalized Auslander conjecture holds, i.e., that such subgroups are v...
