Born in 1887, Lowry lived an upscale area of south Manchester, UK, until financial difficulties forc...

Disease characteristics. Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is characterized by severe to profound mental retardation in males. Intellect ranges from normal to profoundly retarded in heterozygous females. The facial appearance is characteristic in the affected, older male child or adult. The hands are short, soft, and fleshy, often with remarkably hyperextensible fingers that taper from wide (proximal...

The hypothesis that the optimal search strategy is a Lévy walk (LW) or Lévy flight, originally suggested in 1995, has generated an explosion of interest and controversy. Long-standing empirical evidence supporting the LW hypothesis has been overturned, while new models and data are constantly being published. Statistical methods have been criticized and new methods put forward. In parallel with...

Glen Lowry, in his paper "The Representation of 'Race' in Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion" bases his discussion on the observation that critics tend to view Ondaatje's writing in terms of a progression towards complex issues of "race" and post-coloniality. In contrast, Lowry argues that the matter of "race" forms an integral aspect of Ondaatje's oeuvre and Lowry proposes that In the Skin of a ...

Cultured skin fibroblasts were prepared from two unrelated adult patients with full expressions of Coffin-Lowry syndrome. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were isolated either from the medium or from the cell layer of cultured skin fibroblasts. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of GAG preparations on cellulose acetate film revealed that hyaluronate was the major component both in the medium and in the c...

The proportional bias of four methods frequently used for determining low concentrations of protein was evaluated with human serum protein fractions (Cohn Fractions II, III, IV, and V). Each fraction was assigned a protein concentration value as determined by the biuret method, calibrated with purified human serum albumin monomer. All four methods (Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye-binding, the meth...
