There are few observations of albatrosses capturing live prey at sea, prompting speculation as to the methods and timing of Furthermore, in the Black-browed Albatross Diomedea mela-nophrys most observations of feeding relate to fish or squid captured in the vicinity of fishing vessels whilst conducting bird observations on the RRS Bransfield at about 48°04'S, 57°21'W, en route from the Falkland...

The Rep78 and Rep68 proteins of adeno-associated virus (AAV) type 2 are involved in DNA replication, regulation of gene expression, and targeting site-specific integration. They bind to a specific Rep recognition sequence (RRS) found in both the viral inverted terminal repeats and the AAVS1 integration locus on human chromosome 19. Previous in vitro studies implied that an N-terminal segment of...

~Packet scheduling is investigated for the downlink of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular system. The conventional round robin scheduling (RRS) scheme does not utilize the benefits of multiuser environments, although it provides fair channel access chance to users. We propose an antenna-assisted round robin scheduling (AA-RRS) scheme to improve the conventional RRS scheme. The AA-...

shwaehman syndrome, next to cystic fibrosis, is the second cause of congenita! exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in children. it appears as steatorrhea, recurrent infections and hematologic abnormalities such as neutropenia, skeletal dysplasia and short stature. in this study, we reviewed 3 patients' histories. all of them showed cellular chemotaxic defect. one of them had been affected by neph...

The marriage between DNS and the Web, while initially fruitful, is now seen by many as a mutually unhealthy union. DNS’s original goal was practical and limited: allowing users to refer to machines with convenient mnemonics. As such, it has performed admirably. However, with the advent of the Web and the resulting commercial value of DNS names, profit has replaced practicality as the dominant f...

The importance of fixatives in the study of internal structures of bacteria is evidenced in papers by Murray (1953), Cassel and Hutchinson (1955), and by Robinow (1956b). The primary purpose of the use of these substances is to maintain, without distortion, the structure and material in the site in the cell where it functioned. In addition, the fixative may in some cases bring about changes in ...

poisoning remains a major cause of hospital admission into the emergency department and intensive care unit. proper diagnosis is the cornerstone for optimal management of poisoned patients. since the definitive analytical confirmation of the nature of the toxicant involved in the poisoning cannot be rapidly obtained in the majority of healthcare facilities, diagnosis relies on the medical histo...
