ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The HFSP Workshops were initiated by Michel Cuénod (Secretary-General, HFSPO) with the support of the Board of Trustees and the Council of Scientists. Lacquaniti (Rome) with the help of the HFSP staff. Our thanks go to the five co-editors who wrote the reports of the talks given at the meeting: These reports were edited into the present volume by Jennifer Altman (London). We th...

Wilcox, P., and Patrick, A. D. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49,209. Biochemical diagnosis of cystinosis using cultured ceils. A simple method is described for the biochemical diagnosis of cystinosis using small numbers of cells cultured in medium containing L-35S-cystine. Nonprotein sulphur-labelled compounds were extracted from the cells and separated by thin-layer chromatography....

The Das-Mathur-Okubo (DMO) sum rule for the polarizability of charged pions is evaluated for the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model Lagrangian in both its minimal and extended forms. A comparison is made with the results obtained using the same sum rule from chiral perturbation theory (χPT), approximate QCD sum rule calculations, explicit calculations on the lattice by Wilcox, and using the semi-empirica...

A long established distinction exists in developmental psychology between young children's ability to judge whether objects are seen by another, known as "level-1" perspective-taking, and judging how the other sees those objects, known as "level-2" perspective-taking (Flavell, Everett, Croft, & Flavell, 1981a; Flavell, Flavell, Green, & Wilcox, 1981b). Samson, Apperly, Braithwaite, Andrews, and...

W. Geyer M. J. Muller M. T. Moore E. Wilcox L.-T. Cheng B. Brownholtz C. Hill D. R. Millen Activity Explorer is the first product from IBM that supports the notion of activity-centric collaboration. This new collaboration paradigm organizes and integrates resources, tools, and people around the computational concept of a work activity, with the goal of increasing work quality and efficiency. In...

Coaches are influential in creating positive and achievementoriented sport environments and the development of a sound philosophy is the key to successful coaching (Martens, 2004). Yet, few coaches spend significant time early in their careers developing and modifying their philosophical beliefs (Wilcox & Trudel, 1998). While coaching educators have consistently recognized the importance of a w...

The reliability of ranking of protein structure modeling methods is assessed. The assessment is based on the parametric Student's t test and the nonparametric Wilcox signed rank test of statistical significance of the difference between paired samples. The approach is applied to the ranking of the comparative modeling methods tested at the fourth meeting on Critical Assessment of Techniques for...

H abitat loss and fragmentation are among the most pervasive threats to the conservation of biological diversity (Wilcove et al. 1986, Wilcox and Murphy 1985). Habitat fragmentation often leads to the isolation of small populations, which have higher extinction rates (e.g., Pimmetal. 1988). Ultimately, the processes of isolation and population extinction lead to a reduction in biological divers...
