special wisdom from the Ruler of the world". A German Foreword (i-xii) is followed by an Introduction (pp. 1-56, numerals in English). Weisser discusses briefly problems related to Sirr al-khalTqa, and gives a detailed description and an appraisal of sixteen Arabic manuscripts, from which she selected four in order to establish the Arabic text. This Introduction also provides footnotes and an e...

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris GS115, a widely used strain in production of various heterologous proteins, especially membrane-bound enzymes, can also produce linoleic and linolenic acids, which indicates the existence of membrane-bound Δ12 and Δ15-fatty acid desaturases. This paper describes the cloning and functional characterization of a novel Δ12-fatty acid desaturase gene from th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity of contact heat evoked potentials (CHEPs) compared with dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials (dSSEPs) and clinical sensory testing in myelopathic spinal cord disorders (SCDs). METHODS In a prospective cohort study, light-touch (LT) and pinprick (PP) testing was complemented by dermatomal CHEPs and dSSEPs in patients with a confirmed SCD as defined b...

BACKGROUND Whole-genome expression profiling has been used to characterize molecular-level differences between psoriasis lesions and normal skin. Pathway analysis, however, is complicated by the fact that expression profiles have been derived from bulk skin biopsies with RNA derived from multiple cell types. RESULTS We analyzed gene expression across a large sample of psoriatic (PP) and uninv...

In light of the recent data from BES collaboration for χc0 → V V , PP and SS, and from CLEO-c for ηη, η′η′ and ηη′, we present a detailed analysis of the decays of heavy quarkonia into light meson pairs such as χc0,2 → V V , PP and SS in a recently proposed parametrization scheme. An overall agreement with the data is achieved in χc0,2 → V V and PP , while in χc0 → SS we find that a possible ex...
