Mutation analysis was performed for two HFE mutations (C282Y, H63D) in unrelated patients with hereditary haemochromatosis (n = 92), family members of patients (n = 34), and unrelated controls (n = 157) from Northern Germany, 87/92 patients (94.6%) revealed the C282Y mutation in homozygous form, five were heterozygous. No H63D mutation was found in 174 chromosomes of patients homozygous for C28...

Portelmis guianensis sp. nov. is a new member of the Portelmis gurneyi–group. It was collected in Sinnamary, northern French Guiana. The species is externally similar to the other members of the genus, but males deviate considerably by the shape of the aedeagus. A detailed description and figures are given to facilitate easy identification of the new species. In addition, we have modified the k...

This paper demonstrates the advantages of extending the scope of prototyping to the requirements capture phase of a project. Prototyping has long been used to elicit users’ responses to ready-formed designs (Boehm, 1988), but only recently has the use of concept demonstrators (Sanderson, 1997) and early throw-away prototypes (Smith et al., 1990) been suggested as a means to capture response to ...

We develop a system for managing inventory for Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. — a major provider of aviation information products. The problem involves determining order quantities for charts used in flight manuals. These charts contain essential safety information that changes frequently, making standard methods for inventory management ineffective. We formulate the problem as a dynamic programming ...

oC in human p lasma. 5448AP accumulates significantly higher levels of surface plasmin activity (n = 3; mean ± SD) compared to 5448AP∆ska and 5448AP∆emm1. Asterisk indicates statistically significant difference from 5448AP, where P < 0.05.

Following the construction of the κ-Minkowski space from the bicrossproduct structure of the κ-Poincare group, we investigate possible differential calculi on this noncommutative space. We discuss then the action of the Lorentz quantum algebra and prove that there are no 4D bicovariant differential calculi, which are Lorentz covariant. We show, however, that there exist a fivedimensional differ...

social responsibility is a collection of duties and commitments the organization should undertake to preserve, treat and help the society in which it operates. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of experience mediator on the relationship between managers&apos; social responsibility and customer loyalty in sport clubs. the research method was correlation- survey. the statistical...
