Protein kinases (Rabinowitz, 1962) catalysing the transfer of the terminal phosphate of ATP to phosvitin, casein and possibly other phosphoproteins have been found in mammalian liver (Burnett & Kennedy, 1954), mammary gland (Sundararajan, Sampath-Kumar & Sarma, 1960), erythrocyte membranes (Judah, Ahmed & McLean, 1962) and brain (Rabinowitz & Lipmann, 1960). The following study of a protein kin...

Attacks of dizziness and syncope have been relatively common features in the recorded cases of primary intracardiac tumour and of intracardiac ball thrombus (Wood, 1814; von Recklinghausen, 1885; Schwarz and Biloon, 1931; Gorlitzer, 1934; Elson, 1934; Fawcett and Ward, 1939; Garvin, 1941; Wright, Flynn, and Druet, 1944; Burnett and Davidson, 1945; Evans and Benson, 1948). Actual epileptiform co...

Economists currently use the term invasive species to denote species that arrive in a new ecological setting and spread, creating ecological and economic damages. The problem facing invasive policy managers is to select strategies that minimize the overall invasive species-related costs over time, including prevention and control expenditures and damages. This article aims to highlight the conn...

Microgravity conditions offer an environment in which convection in a nonisothermal gas could be driven primarily by thermal stress. A direct examination of thermal stress flows would be invaluable in assessing the accuracy of the Burnett terms in the fluid stress tensor. We present a preliminary numerical investigation of the competing effects of thermal stress, thermal creep at the side walls...

development of the contributory system, and a good deal was heard of it at the exceedingly interesting and remarkably well-organised Conference of the Hospitals Association at Sheffield. It came before the Conference in a very definite form in papers read by two distinguished authorities, Sir Napier Burnett and Mr. H. J. Waring, each of whom laid stress upon the change which is taking place in ...

BACKGROUND The short and long term variability of the interrupter technique was assessed to determine whether interrupter resistance is a stable individual characteristic over time. The effect of field and standardised measurement conditions on the within-subject variability of the interrupter technique was also examined. METHODS The interrupter technique was studied under field and standardi...
