The purpose of this study is to test the Brenner hypothesis using a Bayesian vector autoregressive approach, to compute impulse response function and to conclude if evidence of the hypothesis exist in Canadian data.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that dimers and longer carbon strings are more stable than individual atoms on Fe(111) surfaces. It is therefore necessary to consider the formation of these species on the metal surfaces and their effect on the mechanism of single-walled nanotube (SWNT) growth. The good agreement between the trends (energies and structures) obtained using DFT a...

on thyroxine-binding proteins (UTBP), T4 bound to thyroxine-binding proteins (PBI or TBPT4) andfree thyroxine (FT4). thyroid status. This is shown in diagrammatic fashion in fig 1 which illustrates the changes that occur in thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism and in those situations where there are alterations in thyroxine-binding protein capacity, such as the increase in thyroxine-binding globul...

More sequences have been putatively characterized by database searches than by any other single technology. For good reason: programs like BLAST are fast and reliable. However, sequence comparison procedures should be treated as experiments analogous to standard laboratory procedures.T...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether an erythematous eruption in the vicinity of or distant from a melanoma lesion might be related to the vascular endothelial growth factor, the platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor, or both. METHODS Biopsy specimens from 13 patients with primary melanoma, 6 of whom had erythematous eruptions and 7 who did not, were studied by immunohistochemistry for the e...

Computed tomography obtained as part of a urinary tract assessment in a 68-year-old woman incidentally detected a solid adnexal mass. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed a unilateral, 4-cm, white to tan-yellow colored, focally calcified, left ovarian mass. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of bland fibroblasts, abundant collagen, and areas of calcification with a minor component comp...

This intervention draws from and contributes to feminist and queer responses to Brenner and Schmid’s planetary urbanization thesis. I argue there is a lot to value in their call for alternative and politicized urban studies research pathways, especially their critique of urban age discourse, a body of work that defines cities as static sites of ‘innovation’, ‘creativity’ and ‘sustainability’. H...

Stoffregen & Bardy’s target article is based on the assumption that our senses’ ultimate purpose is to provide us with perfect information about the outside world. We argue that it is often more important that information be available quickly than that it be perfect. Consequently our nervous system processes different aspects of information about our surrounding as separately as possible. The s...
