Literary awards have been analyzed within the system of book and ratings in Ukraine; their characteristics studied along with criteria for selection texts editions, assessment methodology as well impact on recognition authors books Ukraine beyond. Selected analysis were already published texts, thus focus is placed awards, rankings. In order to develop a literary works part systematization unde...

This paper examines the new child support guidelines being developed by the states in response to the Child Support Amendments of 1984 and the Family Support Act of 1988. The major objectives of the paper are to determine the extent to which the new guidelines can be expected to increase child support awards and payments and the relative importance of using the new guidelines to either establis...

Rabs are initially synthesized as soluble proteins; for membrane attachment they require a posttranslational C20-prenylation. Rab GTPases are localized to the cytosolic face of the limiting membrane of organelles, where they function as regulators of distinct steps in membrane trafficking pathways. Rabs cycle between a GTP-bound active and a GDPbound inactive form, assisted by GEFs (guanine nuc...

Network (CISNET) The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications from domestic and foreign applicants to support collaborative research using simulation and other modeling techniques to describe the impact of interventions in population-based settings that will shed light on U.S. population-based trends. It is well known...

The APOBEC3 gene family plays a role in innate cellular immunity inhibiting retroviral infection, hepatitis B virus propagation, and the retrotransposition of endogenous elements. We present a detailed sequence and population genetic analysis of a 29.5-kb common human deletion polymorphism that removes the APOBEC3B gene. We developed a PCR-based genotyping assay, characterized 1,277 human diver...

As Array Express and other repositories of genome-wide experiments are reaching a mature size, it is becoming more meaningful to search for related experiments given a particular study. José introduced a model-based approach that allows for the search to be based upon actual measurement data instead of textual annotations. The method extracts information about the biological processes different...

James E. Bingham Award, established by members of the law firm of Bingham Summers Welsh & Spilman, in memory of James E. Bingham, Class of 1911, given each year to one or more distinguished seniors who will enroll in an A.B.A.-accredited law school for the next academic year. The cash award is presented at the Peck Award Banquet each spring with a member of Mr. Bingham’s law firm participating ...

Background: There are many fewer genes in the human genome than there are expressed transcripts. Alternative splicing is the reason. Alternatively spliced transcripts are often specific to tissue type, developmental stage, environmental condition, or disease state. Accurate analysis of microarray expression data and design of new arrays for alternative splicing require assessment of probes at t...
