Simian foamy virus type 1 (SFV-1), a member of the Spumavirinae subfamily of retroviruses, encodes a transcriptional transactivator (taf) that strongly augments gene expression directed by the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) (A. Mergia, K. E. S. Shaw, E. Pratt-Lowe, P. A. Barry, and P. A. Luciw, J. Virol. 65:2903-2909, 1991). This report describes cis-acting regulatory elements in the LTR that...

We present VLAH i observations of the blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies NGC 2366, NGC 4861, VII Zw 403, and Haro 2. These galaxies span a range of BCD morphological types. The cometary-like BCDs NGC 2366 and NGC 4861 have regular rotational kinematics with a V= of 8.7 and 6.4, respectively. On the other hand, the velocity fields of the iE BCD VII Zw 403 and of the nE BCD Haro 2 lack regularity,...

Sir, O’Reilly et al (October Journal)1 report a much-needed description of the epidemiology of patients who have been removed from a general practitioner’s (GP’s) list. The authors do not, however, consider ethnicity of patients as a possible variable. It could be hypothesized that patients of South Asian origin would be more likely to be removed — judging by evidence from a postal survey of GP...

Spontaneous Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering experiments in air, N2, and O2 have been performed for a wide range of temperatures and pressures at a wavelength of 403 nm and at a 90° scattering angle. Measurements of the Rayleigh-Brillouin spectral scattering profile were conducted at high signal-to-noise ratio for all three species, yielding high-quality spectra unambiguously showing the small dif...

At the end of the paper, the following information about funding was missed: The scientific work funded to study in 2010-2015 as a research project " The role of selected inflammatory mediators in the mechanism of formation of periodontal diseases " No. NN 403 582938.

The strong Lorenz-core of a transferable utility game has a join-lattice structure on every rank-preserving region of the payoff set. The result unveils new properties on the arrangement of strong Lorenz-core allocations. As immediate corollaries we obtain complementary results to some findings of Dutta and Ray, Games Econ. Behav., 3(4) p.403-422 (1991), on constrained egalitarian allocations.
