We report the identification of a novel mutation at a highly conserved residue within the N-terminal region of spermine synthase (SMS) in a second family with Snyder-Robinson X-linked mental retardation syndrome (OMIM 309583). This missense mutation, p.G56S, greatly reduces SMS activity and leads to severe epilepsy and cognitive impairment. Our findings contribute to a better delineation and ex...

Black holes in certain modified gravity theories that contain a scalar field coupled to curvature invariants are known possess (monopole) hair while non-black-hole spacetimes (like neutron stars) do not. Therefore, as star collapses black hole, must grow until it settles the stationary hole solution with hair. In this paper, we study process detail and show growth of is tied appearance event ho...

2010 marked the 50th anniversary of the use of selectivity triangles to characterize chromatographic phases. Such plots ultimately identify and quantify the blend of intermolecular interactions that occur between solutes and solvents/phases. The first chromatographic triangle was proposed by Brown and applied to GC stationary phases. Snyder then developed the influential solvent selectivity tri...
