[Background of this unusual double interview: the Free Software Magazine (http:// www.freesoftwaremagazine.com) and the TEX Users Group (TUG) both like to publish interviews. By chance, Gianluca Pignalberi of FSM and Dave Walden of TUG both approached Frank Mittelbach about interviewing him around the same time. Rather than doing two separate interviews, Mittelbach, Pignalberi, and Walden decid...

The biosynthetic pathway leading to the steroid nucleus in both yeast and mammalian tissues has been delineated recently by a number of investigators (Ciba Foundation Symposium, 1959). With the exception of the final steps, reactions from acetate to ergosterol in yeast appear to be identical with those involved in cholesterol synthesis in mammalian systems. Certain yeasts and molds are also cap...

this paper considers the possibility of spontaneous transition of aracemic mixture (composed of equal amounts of two enantiomeric species, say l and d) into a monochiral state (in which only one enantiomer, say l, is present). transitions of this kind have been recently experimentally observed. a plausible approach to this phenomenon is a model put forward by frank, based on simple laws of chem...

Large-scale, algorithmic access to LOD Cloud data has been hampered by the absence of queryable endpoints for many datasets, a plethora of serialization formats, and an abundance of idiosyncrasies such as syntax errors. As of late, very large-scale — hundreds of thousands of document, tens of billions of triples — access to RDF data has become possible thanks to the LOD Laundromat Web Service. ...
