THE WOOLVERTON name has a long history in England, and several variant spellings are recorded in the Domesday book. In 1682 Charles Woolverton, a Staffordshire Quaker, migrated from Dorchester, England, to America. He was Jonathan's greatgreat-grandfather. Jonathan's father, Dennis, came to The Forty' with his family from New Jersey in 1798, a few years after the original influx of United Empir...

a-Chymotrypsin and trypsin were spin-labeled with 14 ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted phenylsulfonyl fluorides. These analogues of tosylfluoride were substituted with either pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolinyl, or piperidinyl nitroxide moieties. A complete description of their synthesis and the enzyme inhibition studies is presented in the following paper (WONG, S. S., QUIGGLE, K., TRIPLETT, C., AND BE...

BACKGROUND The study explored the genetic and environmental risk factors for both the behaviours and attitudes characteristic of disordered eating. METHODS In three waves of data collection, information was collected from female twins regarding their eating and attitudes towards eating, weight and shape. The first assessment consisted of a self-report questionnaire (1988-9) with 1682 women. T...

South Africa is reputed to host the world's largest remaining population of white sharks, yet no studies have accurately determined a population estimate based on mark-recapture of live individuals. We used dorsal fin photographs (fin IDs) to identify white sharks in Gansbaai, South Africa, from January 2007-December 2011. We used the computer programme DARWIN to catalogue and match fin IDs of ...

The paper reviews the recent conduct of monetary policy and central banks’ interest rate setting behaviour in emerging market economies. Using a standard open economy reaction function, we test whether central banks in emerging economies react to changes in inflation, output gaps and the exchange rate in a consistent and predictable manner. In most emerging economies the interest rate responds ...

The synthesis of cytochrome P-450c is induced remarkably in cultured cells as well as animal tissues in response to added chemicals such as 3-methylcholanthrene and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin. To study this mechanism, we joined the sequence of 5'-flanking and upstream regions of the P-450c gene to the structural gene for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase. The fusion gene was introduced in...

AIMS To compare the net cost of a tight blood pressure control policy with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (captopril) or beta blocker (atenolol) in patients with Type 2 diabetes. DESIGN A cost-effectiveness analysis based on outcomes and resources used in a randomized controlled trial and assumptions regarding the use of these therapies in a general practice setting. SETTING Twe...

The scientific legacy of Isaac Newton is remembered mainly for the discovery of infinitesimal calculus, at the same time of Leibniz, and gravitational theory, which explains completely the motion of the planets. After the revolution made by Newton’s laws in the knowledge of the universe, the interest of the scientific community was centered mainly on conservative systems, due to the influence o...

Adults appear to be more sensitive to configural information, including second-order relations (the spacing of features), in faces than in other objects. Superior processing of second-order relations in faces may arise from our experience of identifying faces at the individual level of categorisation (eg Bob versus John) but other objects at the basic level of categorisation (eg table versus ch...
