In this study the uptake and metabolism of adenosine by mitochondria has been investigated. Incubation of CEM cells mitochondria preparation with [3H] -adenosine showed substantial uptake and metabolism of adenosine. Adenosine was both anabolized to AMP, ADP and ATP, and also catabolized to inosine. The highest concentration of metabolites in extracted mitochondria was due to AMP. The mito...

jobs and become 'unemployable'. There is in fact practically no provision for these two groups, and some of the latter group may end up in a hospital for the subnormal. Research carried out in the Industrial Training Units at the Manor Hospital, Epsom, has shown that given training, these patients can develop skills and assets that at first seemed non-existent, and that personality problems can...

All Bell experiments carried out so far have had ten or more times fewer coincidence counts than singles counts and this, in effect, means a detection efficiency under 10%. Therefore, all these experiments relied only on coincidence counts and herewith on additional assumptions. Recently, however, Santos devised hidden variable models which do not obey the assumptions and thus made the experime...

We have recently prepared iodocasein containing radioactive iodine (1’31) for use in studies, to be described in detail elsewhere, on the metabolism of calorigenic substances in human beings. The procedure followed was, in general, that of Reineke and Turner (1,2) except for modifications necessitated by the incorporation and handling of Pal. These modifications shorten the procedure somewhat a...

Rayleigh-Bernard convection offers a unique flow situation in which buoyancy-generated turbulence can be studied in isolation, free of the complicating influence of shear production of turbulence. The objective of this paper is to examine and model important aspects of buoyancy-generated turbulence using direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of Rayleigh-Bernard convection. In particular, we ex...

The lottery preparation, a new general kind of Laver preparation, works uniformly with supercompact cardinals, strongly compact cardinals, strong cardinals, measurable cardinals, or what have you. And like the Laver preparation, the lottery preparation makes these cardinals indestructible by various kinds of further forcing. A supercompact cardinal κ, for example, becomes fully indestructible b...

We revisit three important articles published in prior issues of the Journal of Insurance Medicine (JIM) that summarize the process of selecting articles for mortality analysis and abstract preparation. The article selection and analysis recommendations put forth in these reprints are part of the core knowledge of Insurance Medicine regularly presented in Mortality courses sponsored by the Amer...
