The program DIBER (an acronym for DNA and FIBER) requires only native diffraction data to predict whether a crystal contains protein, B-form DNA or both. In standalone mode, the classification is based on the cube root of the reciprocal unit-cell volume and the largest local average of diffraction intensities at 3.4 A resolution. In combined mode, the Phaser rotation-function score (for the 3.4...

Recent demonstrations of statistical learning in infants have reinvigorated the innateness versus learning debate in language acquisition. This article addresses these issues from both computational and developmental perspectives. First, I argue that statistical learning using transitional probabilities cannot reliably segment words when scaled to a realistic setting (e.g. child-directed Englis...

Dopexamine is a dopamine analog that has been used for hemodynamic optimization in a number of clinical settings. This animal investigation showed anti-inflammatory effects of dopexamine in a rat endotoxin model without effects on global or regional flow, but it is not time to dispense with hemodynamics altogether just yet. Rather, an integrative approach to the effects of catecholamines, consi...

S ex differences in the prevalence and progression of numerous cardiovascular diseases are well documented, with males typically exhibiting greater severity and progression of disease compared with age-matched females. In contrast, females are more likely to develop autoimmune disease compared with age-matched males, both clinically and experimentally. Nevertheless, there is growing evidence th...

In recent years, the study of memory has been the subject of discussions among those researchers who try to identify the mechanisms and contents of memory and those who concentrate in discovering their functions. These two approaches differ not only in the theoretical explanations that they offer to some phenomena, but also in which phenomena they consider worth pursuing and how and where these...
