Immune complexes (IC) 1 are thought to play a major role in the pathogenesis of many human glomerulonephritides (1). This has been suggested by immunofluorescence studies showing glomerular deposits of immunoglobulins and complement and by observations of electron-dense deposits around or within the glomerular basement membrane. In addition, glomerulonephritides are a common feature of some aut...

Environmental constraints during early life result in phenotypic changes that can be associated with increased disease risk in later life. This suggests persistent alteration of gene transcription. DNA methylation, which is largely established in utero, provides a causal mechanism by which unbalanced prenatal nutrition results in such altered gene expression. We investigated the effect of unbal...

A welcome but unintended consequence of recent state disclosure laws in the U.S. (most notably California SB 1386), has been a continuous stream of privacy breaches reported in the mass media. In this paper, we provide empirical analysis of disclosed breaches for the period of 2005-2006 to better understand what is happening in aggregate (overall patterns and trends) beyond the often sensationa...

The work can be considered as an essay on mathematical and conceptual structure of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (QM) which is related here to some other (more general, but also to more special – “approximative”) theories. QM is here primarily equivalently reformulated in the form of a Poisson system on the phase space consisting of density matrices, where the “observables”, as well as “sym...
