In a recent report, we described a fulminant anemia in rats that were inoculated at birth with our stocks of Abelson virus (3). This anemia was apparent within 2 weeks, and many rats died shortly thereafter with a red cell count as low as 1 x 106 cells/cu mm. Passage of the anemia from rat to rat was accomplished with cell-free material, and electron micrographs of the erythroblasts showed nume...

Each of n experts communicates to a principle about the privately observed quality of his own project via cheap talk, and new independently drawn projects are available each period until the principle has adopted k < n projects. Even when experts are completely biased in that they only receive a positive payoff if their own project is selected, we show that informative equilibria may exist, cha...

One of the long-standing problems in antenna engineering is the realization of highly directive beams using low-profile devices. In this paper, we provide a solution to this problem by means of Huygens' metasurfaces (HMSs), based on the equivalence principle. This principle states that a given excitation can be transformed to a desirable aperture field by inducing suitable electric and (equival...

An improved temperature-insensitive optical voltage sensor (OVS) with a reciprocal dual-crystal sensing method is proposed. The inducing principle of OVS reciprocity degradation is expounded by taking the different temperature fields of two crystals and the axis-errors of optical components into consideration. The key parameters pertaining to the system reciprocity degeneration in the dual-crys...

in many models of programmed cell death, the mitochondrial protein aif translocates to the nucleus, where it induces the chromatin condensation and dna degradation. however, today it is well established that this flavoprotein is bifunctional. in addition to its lethal function in the nucleus of dying cells, aif plays a vital bioenergetic role in healthy ones by regulating mainly the activity of...
