Abs t rac t . A novel anaphase block phenotype was found in fission yeast temperature-sensitive cut9 mutants. Cells enter mitosis with chromosome condensation and short spindle formation, then block anaphase, but continue to progress into postanaphase events such as degradation of the spindle, reformation of the postanaphase cytoplasmic microtubule arrays, septation, and cytokinesis. The cut9 m...

The bypass technique, which was formerly restricted to selections only KMPS94], is extended to join operations. Analogous to the selection case, the join operator may generate two output streams|the join result and its complement|whose subsequent operator sequence is optimized individually. By extending the bypass technique to joins, several problems have to be solved. (1) An algorithm for exha...

conclusions treatment strategies in acquired hemophilia are based on two major objectives. during the acute stage, effective control of bleeding is critical. the ultimate therapeutic goal during the subacute phase is the elimination of the inhibitors targeting factor viii. here, we present this case and will review current literature regarding therapeutic approaches to this rare condition in th...

This paper highlights a very important problem with network perimeter firewalls. The threat discussed is not exactly new, but neither is it widely recognised— even amongst network security professionals. Most commercial firewalls claim to be application layer devices, but they derive very little useful information about the context of the application traffic that passes through them. Malicious ...

In the multinucleate fungus Ashbya gossypii, cytoplasmic microtubules (cMTs) emerge from the spindle pole body outer plaque (OP) in perpendicular and tangential directions. To elucidate the role of cMTs in forward/backward movements (oscillations) and bypassing of nuclei, we constructed mutants potentially affecting cMT nucleation or stability. Hyphae lacking the OP components AgSpc72, AgNud1, ...

In the design of embedded systems, hardware and software need to be co-explored together to meet targets of performance and energy. With the use of application-specific instruction-set processors, as a stand-alone solution or as a part of a system on chip, the customization of processors for a particular application is a known method to reduce energy requirements and provide performance. In par...
