Proteins that track growing microtubule (MT) ends are important for many aspects of intracellular MT function, but the mechanism by which these +TIPs accumulate at MT ends has been the subject of a long-standing controversy. In this issue, Bieling et al. (Bieling, P., S. Kandels-Lewis, I.A. Telley, J. van Dijk, C. Janke, and T. Surrey. 2008. J. Cell Biol. 183:1223-1233) reconstitute plus end tr...

Objectives: To examine the relationship between passion (i.e., love for an activity that is valued for which and a great deal of time is invested) for exercise and exercise dependence symptoms. Design: A cross-sectional correlational survey design was utilised. Method: A total of 480 participants (n 1⁄4 275 females, n 1⁄4 205 males; Mage 1⁄4 18.58, SD 1⁄4 1.66) completed the Leisure Time Exerci...

BACKGROUND Studies on Europe and the US indicate that marriage has been postponed, cohabitation has increased, and unions are more likely to dissolve. However, cross-national studies documenting these trends have typically studied each transition separately. OBJECTIVE This study aims to simultaneously capture these different partnership trends while examining heterogeneity within countries. Usi...

Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), a standardized mixture of five plants, has been used historically as a haemostatic agent but its mechanism of action remains unknown. This study investigated the in vitro effects of ABS on haemostatic parameters. When added to plasma or serum, ABS induced the very rapid formation of a protein network and erythrocyte aggregation. The levels of coagulation factors II...

Integration of data from autonomous, distributed and heterogeneous data sources poses several technical challenges. This paper overviews the data integration system AMOS II based on the wrapper-mediator approach. AMOS II consists of: (i) a mediator database engine that can process and execute queries over data stored locally and in several external data sources, and (ii) object-oriented (OO) mu...
