Electrostatic charge at the membrane surface has emerged as a crucial determinant of the localization and activation of many proteins containing polycationic domains in their amino acid sequence.

On the basis of the standard measurements of 1277 long appendicular bones of the domestic sheep, a universal point scale has been elaborated. The bones examined were obtained from European, Asian and African archaeological sites dating from 4500 BC to 1500 AD. A comparative analysis of the metapodial bones of the domestic sheep from Central Europe (Poland, Germany and Hungary) has been undertak...

OBJECTIVE As regular administration of xylitol had been effective in preventing acute otitis media (AOM) in children, we tested whether xylitol administered only at times of acute respiratory infection (ARI) reduces the occurrence of AOM. METHODS Healthy children (N = 1277) were recruited from child care centers and randomized after screening with tympanometry to receive either control mixtur...
