Reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), required as co-factor for lipogenesis and steroidogenesis, may, in part, be supplied by pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenation mediated by malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate+NADH\ar=r\malate+NAD) and the malate (`malic') enzyme (malate+NADP\ar=r\pyruvate+CO2 +NADPH). The malate transhydrogenation reactions (cf. Ballard & Hanson, 1967,...

In 1972, I conducted my first “parole prediction” studies for the Illinois Department of Corrections. The purpose of these studies was simple—to identify groups of offenders with significantly different rates of recidivism. As others, including Burgess (1928) and Babst, Gottfredson, and Ballard (1968) had discovered, making clear distinctions between low, moderate, and high risk offenders is po...

The issue of Generic Skills has received considerable attention over recent years as universities seek to renew and articulate their purposes and demonstrate the efficient achievement of these, particularly in response to calls for accountability. As an articulation of the core outcomes of higher education as a process (HEC 1992) generic skills (or generic attributes as they are also known) are...

increases in translation rates of those messages with the slowest binding constants. How changes in the relative breakdown rates could occur is not known, but, if the present results are valid, then it may be that protein breakdown in muscle can be satisfactorily explained in terms of a single system with varying affinities for different proteins according t o the activity of the system rather ...

Biomedical ethicists often assume that common morality constitutes a largely consistent normative system. This premise is not taken for granted in general normative ethics. This paper entertains the possibility of inconsistency within common morality and explores methodological implications. Assuming common morality to be inconsistent casts new light on the debate between principlists and descr...
