A LTHOUGH HYPERTENSION is a common pathologic condition associated with negative U waves in the electrocardiogram, their clinical significance and relationship to arterial pressure have not been adequately established. Kemp et al.1 have described a correlation between negative U waves in left precordial leads and malignant hypertension with con-gestive heart failure. Reversal of the waves from ...

A combined computational and experimental investigation of three different Cp*CoIII systems used in combination with a base as catalysts “borrowing hydrogen” alkylations by secondary alcohols (ROH), resulting C–N or C–C bond formation, reveal the existence new pathway for alcohol activation, differing from existing paradigms oxidative ionic activations. The metal-coordinated alkoxide (OR) gener...

The doubly uniparental inheritance system allows for the use of two independent mitochondrial genomes for population history investigations. Under this system, two lineages of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) exist and males are typically heteroplasmic, having the additional, usually divergent, mitochondrial genome inherited from their male parent. This additional mtDNA typically evolves faster, poten...

We have examined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in samples of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and the Spanish Atlantic coast by scoring for presence or absence of cleavage at 20 restriction sites of a fragment of the COIII gene and at four restriction sites of the 16S RNA gene. This species contains two types of mtDNA genomes, one that is transmit...
