ost of us frequently use speech to communicate with other people. Most of us will also communicate regularly with a computer, but rarely by means of speech. The computer input usually comes from a keyboard or a mouse, and the output goes to the monitor or a printer. Still, in many cases the communication with a computer would be facilitated if speech could be used, if only because most people s...

The existence of a mitochondrial L-lactate dehydrogenase (m-L-LDH) suggested by Dianzani (1951), was shown by Baba and Sharma (1971) with the enzyme located in the mitochondrial matrix; later Brooks et al. (1999) proposed the intracellular lactate shuttle and in the third millennium the existence of m-L-LDH was definitively been confirmed in mammalian, plant and yeast mitochondria as reviewed b...

The recent wave of electoral success for right-wing populists has coincided with an increase in political scandals as well a new, neo-populist type, scandals. Thus, it been argued that the public might have become increasingly numb to and scandalous behaviour by populist politicians is often neglected part their ‘typical’ behavior.

This visual essay in "The Photographer's Frame" explores how Americans’ love affair with road trips made a marriage of national park scenic landscapes and automobiles nearly inevitable—and has helped, literally, drive climate change.

task of planning these events on our own, because we thought that asking faculty members for help wasn’t likely to pay off. We expected resistance from those who think that nonacademic careers aren’t worthwhile pursuits, and some committee members even worried that approaching faculty members could have negative personal repercussions. We had heard that when professors learned that their studen...

p120-catenin regulates cell-cell adhesion by controlling cell surface retention of cadherin. In this issue, Ishiyama et al. (2010) present the first crystal structure of p120 in complex with cadherin, revealing molecular details of the functional interface and providing sophisticated new tools for dissecting p120's role in cell-cell adhesion.

tipped swab (Fisher Scientific) premoistened in Dey-Engley neutralizer (Becton Dickinson). The swabs were vortexed for 45 seconds in 200 piL of Dey-Engley neutralizer, plated onto prereduced C. difficile Brucella agar (CDBA), and cultured as previously described. For the fresh Clorox premoistened germicidal wipes only, an additional experiment was performed in which the inoculated site was wipe...

Lung cancer risk has a genetic component. This study reports the discovery of a gene variant that is overexpressed in patients who have the familial, but not sporadic, type of lung cancer. This report provides new insights into a mechanism that will help to guide preventive interventions in the future.
