WHILE the rat has been used in recent years with great success in nutritional studies, the results obtained have proved to be misleading in the investigation of pellagra. Goldberger and his co-workers discovered that rats ceased to thrive, became ill and developed a symmetrical dermatitis when deprived of the heatstable portion of the B vitamin complex contained in yeast and concluded that this...

Bovine chorioptic mange, caused by Chorioptes texan us (Hirst, 1 924) is reported. Eighty three (80,5 %) out of 103 Israeli Friesian herds, surveyed in the years 1983-1987, were found infested. Most of the animais infested were cows while prevalence in female calves and heifers was much lower (81,9 %, 12% and 6% of the infested herds respectively). In most cases the lesions were limited to the ...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the sleep patterns of children with intrauterine growth retardation, known to be at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, and seek a possible correlation with behavior, concentration, and attention problems. The sleep patterns of 26 children with intrauterine growth retardation aged 4 to 7 years were compared with those of 47 control children using...

In higher plants, most of the chlorophyll a is formed via the divinyl and monovinyl chlorophyll monocarboxylic biosynthetic routes. These two routes are strongly interconnected prior to protochlorophyllide formation in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Morex), a dark monovinyl-light divinyl plant species, but not in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv Beit Alpha MR), a dark divinyl-light divinyl plant ...

Coat proteins of *100-kD (adaptins) are components of the adaptor complexes which link clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles. The c~-adaptins, which are found exclusively in endocytic coated vesicles, separate into two bands on SDS gels, designated A and C (Robinson, M. S., 1987. J. Cell Biol. 104:887-895). Two distinct cDNAs (sequences 1 and 2) encoding the two oL-adaptins were cloned from ...

A sample of 10,851 pupils (5,493 males and 5,358 females) attending year-nine classes (13to 14-year-olds) and a sample of 9,494 pupils (4,787 males and 4,707 females) attending yearten classes (14to 15-year-olds) in non-denominational state-maintained secondary schools in England and Wales completed questions concerned with conventional Christian belief and unconventional paranormal belief, alo...

We are concerned with the syntactic annotation of unrestricted text. We combine a rule-based analysis with subsequent exploitation of empirical data. The rule~based surface syntactic analyser leaves some amount of ambiguity in the output that is resolved using empirical patterns. We have implemented a system for generating and applying corpus-based patterns. Somc patterns describe the main cons...

Boswellia resin is a major anti-inflammatory agent in herbal medical tradition, as well as a common food supplement. Its anti-inflammatory activity has been attributed to boswellic acid and its derivatives. Here, we re-examined the antiinflammatory effect of the resin, using inhibitor of nuclear factorB (I B ) degradation in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -stimulated HeLa cells for a bioassay-guid...
