The 24-hour delay between seeding coverslips with cells and inoculating samples for culture of chlamydiae was reduced to less than 1 hour by using coverslips which had been pre-treated with glutaraldehyde-activated gamma-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane. Treated coverslips were not toxic for McCoy cells and even one year after treatment monolayers formed rapidly on them. Furthermore, all of 13 Chlam...

The association of "rheumatoid disease" (Ellman and Ball, 1948) and Addison's disease is exceedingly rare. Kendall (1951) believed that their co-existence was no more than a coincidence. Perera and Ragan (1950) and, more recently, Caughey and McCoy (1951) reported single cases of a combination of the two diseases. The last mentioned refer to the French literature (Dejean, 1947; de Gennes and ot...

We obtain connection coefficients between q-binomial and q-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform q-binomial identities into a q-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we rederive some known trinomial identities related to partition theory and prove many of the conjectures of Berkovich, McCoy and Pearce, which have recently arisen in...
