How do human observers estimate the location, form, and color of objects? Accurate estimation is challenging because the light arriving at the eyes depends not only on object properties, but also on the spectra and spatial layout of the light sources (Nassau, 1983; Foley et al., 1990). How well the visual system separates illuminant and object properties to achieve a stable representation has t...

Since the discovery of p53 in 1979 (Lane et al., 1979; DeLeo et al., 1979; Linzer et al., 1979); it has surfaced as a most important tumor suppressor protein central to regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA repair, senescence, and angiogenesis (Vousden et al., 2002; Fridman et al., 2003; Teodor et al., 2007). The prominent role of p53 is reflected in nearly 50% cases of malignancies wherein ...

OBJECTIVES To describe the morphological features of atherosclerosis in the aortas of autopsied patients (ranging from young adults to the elderly), thus providing new tools for a more sensitive morphological evaluation. METHOD We collected 141 aorta samples. We assessed the macroscopic degree of atherosclerosis, thickness of the intima and media, lipid and collagen depositions in the intima,...

General interpolating expressions, valid for nearand arbitrary overcritical sizes of clusters, are proposed for the nucleation fluxes and distributions. Results are expressed in terms of the deterministic growth rates, and are characterized by a non-Gaussian dependence on the size of nuclei. In a sense, the proposed approximations combine the positive aspects of the parabolic model by Trinkaus ...

One of the most critical problems that hospitality firms face in selecting employees is that the use of cognitive ability tests and other valid predictors of job performance lead to subgroup differences between majority and minority group members. The recent Ricci v. DeStefano U.S. Supreme Court case provides new implications for the adverse diversity-validity dilemma. This paper seeks to bridg...

The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki is currently one of the most destructive pests in the USA. It is estimated to cost consumers over US dollars 1 billion annually for preventative and remedial treatment and to repair damage caused by this insect. The mission of the Formosan Subterranean Termite Research Unit of the Agricultural Research Service is to demonstrate t...
