We classify isolated terminal cyclic quotient singularities in dimension three, and isolated Gorenstein terminal cyclic quotient singularities in dimension four. In addition, we give a new proof of a combinatorial lemma of G. K. White using Bernoulli functions. Let A' be a smooth algebraic variety over C, and let ux be the canonical bundle of X. For each n > 0, if T(X, to®") ^ 0, there is a nat...

Stanford, California 94305 cesses. In nearly all cases studied, a significant fraction of cytosolic, membrane-bound or transmembrane proteins diffuse relatively freely within the cytosol or An increasing amount of experimental evidence has acmembrane. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching cumulated over the last years suggesting that most sig(FRAP) studies of plasma membrane receptors, as ...

Obesity is an increasing problem in the United States and is responsible for a host of associated health problems, including hypertension and diabetes. It is therefore important to identify factors contributing to overeating and consumption of unhealthy foods; taste perception and preference are obvious factors to consider. In a recent article, Kovacs and Hajnal have uncovered a relationship be...

Introduction: Benign metastasizing leiomyoma in the lung is a very rare disease characterized by the growth of uterine leiomyoma tissue. In most cases there is a previous history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma. Case presentation: A 50-year-old Asian woman underwent total abdominal hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma at the age of 37 years old. She was referred to our hospital because of s...

Background/Aims: Currently available techniques for fluoride analysis are not standardized. Therefore, this study was designed to develop standardized methods for analyzing fluoride in biological and nonbiological samples used for dental research. Methods: A group of nine laboratories analyzed a set of standardized samples for fluoride concentration using their own methods. The group then revie...
