The preparation of peptide thioesters using Fmoc chemistry requires their synthesis as amides flowed by an N -> S-acyl shift reaction. Recently, bis(2-sulfanylethyl)amino-trityl-polystyrene (SEA) resin has been reported (1, 2), where the peptide is synthesized as a secondary amide, and the N -> S-acyl shift occurs by reaction of one of the two 2-sulfanylethyl groups. The PAET resin described he...

Malignant rhabdoid tumour is a very rare neoplasm with high lethality rate. Its neoplastic cells present rhabdomyoblastic features, although those must be differentiated from epithelioid sarcoma, melanoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Therefore, this case report of 21-year-old man who presented Malignantrhabdoid in the head pancreas. Patient was submitted to partial pancreatomy gastrectomy block, sple...

This note is a glueing together of two recent conference papers of mine, one from UAI-97 8] and from IJCAI-97 7], with minimal additional editing or quality control on the glueing process. Since I'm in the midst of following up on connections to several pre-existing lines of work, I'd like to reach stable state before publishing something else of the topic. The purpose of this note is to aid in...

The aim of the present study is to ascertain whether in a social context the kinematic parameters are influenced by the stance of the participants. In particular, we consider two basic modes of social cognition, namely cooperation and competition. Naïve subjects were asked either to cooperate or to compete with a partner (a professional female actor), whose attitude could be either congruent or...
