Self-signaling models predict less selfish behavior in a probabilistic giving setting as individuals are expected to invest pro-social identity. However, there is also substantial evidence that people tend exploit situational excuses for choices (for instance, uncertainty) and behave more selfishly. We contrast these two motivations (identity management self-deception) experimentally order test...

The effect of the charge of circulating immune complexes on glomerular localization was studied in a model of passive serum sickness. Preformed immune complexes of heterogeneous or restricted charge, prepared in vitro from isoelectrically focused or chemically modified proteins, were injected intravenously into mice. The distribution of immune complexes in the kidney was compared by immunofluor...

The 5'-terminal methylated cap (m7G(5')ppp(5')Gm) in reovirus messenger RNA comprises part of the ribosomes binding site, since attachment of 40 S wheat germ ribosomal subunits to reovirus small (s), medium (m), and large (l) RNA classes conferred almost complete protection of the cap against RNase digestion. After joining of the 60 S ribosomal subunits, however, the cap continued to be protect...

E SR has been used in the study of iron(I)-nitrosyl complexes w ith organic ligands in solution. Four types of complexes have been identified on basis of the ESR param eters, namely Fe (NO) L 5, Fe (NO) L 2, Fe (NO)2L 2, and Fe (NO)2L. In the iron-nitrosyl complexes with the organic ligands used, the groups more often involved in the coordination are: —C —N H 2; —C —N H ; — C = 0 ; and —C = S (...

the meaning of the yard as residential open space has changed in the contemporary iranian architecture, where its dignity has transformed to the public space in the sub-neighborhood. in the new urbanism according to the land limitation and economic problem, home’s space has decrease and share building has increased. this article has been conducted to investigate the possible landscape architect...

A series of 18-membered macrocyclic complexes of metal Ni(II) of the type [M(H2Cy )] have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of spectral, magnetic and conductivity studies. The macrocyclic ligands H 4 Cy1-4 (Fig. 1) are tetrabasic having four imido hydrogen but behave in a dibasic manner. Out of eight nitrogens, four imido and four imino, ligands utilize four imido nitrogens for sq...

The atypical cadherins Fat and Dachsous (Ds) have been found to underlie planar cell polarity (PCP) in many tissues. Theoretical models suggest that polarity can arise from localized feedbacks on Fat-Ds complexes at the cell boundary. However, there is currently no direct evidence for the existence or mechanism of such feedbacks. To directly test the localized feedback model, we developed a syn...
