There is a growing understanding in the scientific community that current scientific and technological challenges can only be efficiently met in a collaborative atmosphere and using multidisciplinary approaches. The field of halogen bonding became not just a hot research area, but also one known for its friendly openness to various scientific fields and approaches that may provide an improved u...

,An eight-year-old with extensive decay in both mandibular first permanent molars was examined in October, 1970. Both molars were found to have immature roots. ,4 nonvital molar was treated to achieve apical closure followed later by conventional endodontic therapy. A vital molar was treated with a formocresol pulpotomy followed by conventional endodontic therapy. After 10 years, both molars sh...

▪ This article discusses three major issues related to tripartite social pacts: first, the puzzles they present for classic theories of corporatism; second, the contrasts between the political economies of ‘competitive concertation’ and Keynesian coordination; and third, the problems of assessing their effects in the context of complex causality. The main focus is on one specific policy area: n...

This work concerns a study of the use of adaptive computational approaches as a mechanism for individual agent based modeling of adaptation in ecological systems, particularly in situations which are unsuited to conventional analytical techniques (ie. using continuous mathematics). In this context we define the term Computational Ecology to mean the software simulation or model (derived from so...

“This paper addresses a well-known phenomenon in organic chemistry known as the anomeric effect. The research was a collaboration between exponents of two physical sciences, crystallography and quantum mechanics. For this reason, the approach and the resulting insight into the electronic basis for the phenomenon was novel to carbohydrate chemistry. The crystallography was at the University of P...

To the Editor: We report the detection of human enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) subgenotype B5 in France, 6 years after it was first detected in Europe. EV-A71 belongs to the Enterovirus A species (genus Enterovirus, family Picornaviridae) and is a major cause of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), sometimes associated with severe neurologic complications (1). EV-A71 strains are classified in 6 genot...

To better understand the electrostatic component of the interaction between proteins and the polyanion heparin, we have investigated the thermodynamics of heparin binding to positively charged oligopeptides containing lysine or arginine and tryptophan (KWK-C02 and RWR-(202). The binding of these peptides to heparin is accompanied by an enhancement of the peptide tryptophan fluorescence, and we ...

Heparan sulphate proteoglycan is widely distributed, being found inserted into plasma membranes of most cells (Kjellenetal., 1981 ; Norlingetal., 1981)and asa significant component of basement membranes (Kanwar et al., 1980; Hassel et al., 1980). As a strong polyanion, heparan sulphate interacts with many components under physiological conditions, the specificity of these interactions depending...

The rise of the knowledge economy challenges coordinated models capitalism by requiring their skill formation systems to produce a workforce with higher skills. This paper examines how adapts upskilling pressures jointly studying general education and vocational training (VET) at both upper-secondary tertiary levels. Employing comparative research design covering German Swiss efforts over past ...
