The surface of the immunoglobulin structure plays a multifunctional role within the immune network. The variable structures of antibodies express a large repertoire of idiotypic specificities (idiotopes) and are also responsible for the vast diversity of different binding sites (paratopes). Crystallographic analyses of antibodies have identified V regions that form a binding site or pocket for ...

Abstract: Given a calibrated Riemannian manifold M with parallel calibration Ω of rank m and M an orientable m-submanifold with parallel mean curvature H , we prove that if cosθ is bounded away from zero, where θ is the Ω-angle of M, and if M has zero Cheeger constant, then M is minimal. In the particular case M is complete with RiccM ≥ 0 we may replace the boundedness condition on cosθ by cosθ...

Heinz von Foerster has taught us that, basically, the history of modern epistemology might be (re-)written as the story of the observer. This story primarily deals with the consequences of the insight that whatever is said is said by an observer to another observer. And this story deals with the observer conceived of as an active agent who does not observe from outside in a neutral way but who ...

Many authors examined the influence of loanwords in German (cf. Best 2001; Körner 2004, Ternes 2011). The present paper presents the development of Iranian borrowings and demonstrates that this process abides by the logistic law which in linguistics is known as Piotrowski Law. Zhu Yujia Sentence length and syntactic complexity in spoken and written English 9-16 Abstract: This study examines the...
