Clinical geneticist tries to identify the etiology, mode of inheritance and the risk that a similar disorder may occur in the affected childs’ siblings. Five different categories are required for classification of the patients' disorder. Single gene mutations account for 6% of the children with congenital anomalies, chromosomal disorders 7.5%, multifactorial inheritance 20%, and disorders with ...

1. Following the genetic studies by Smith (1961) and Smith & Childs (1963) with methionine auxotrophs of Salmonella typhimurium, methionine formation from homocysteine has been investigated with cell-free extracts of this organism. 2. As found with Escherichia coli (Woods, Foster & Guest, 1964), methyl groups are formed by an N(5)N(10)-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. They are then transfer...

Childhood obesity is a prevalent problem in most developed countries. It can have a significant negative impact on a childs health including diabetes and cancer. Help in the preventing and reducing obesity is required. One possible method suggested in this paper is a serious game, which would increase energy expenditure during play, educate about nutrition and promote healthy eating and physica...

Fluid-induced rotordynamic forces produced by the uid in an annular seal or in the leakage passage surrounding the shroud of a pump or turbine, are known to contribute substantially to the potential excitation forces acting on the rotor. In this paper we explore some of the important features of the equations governing bulkow models of these ows. This in turn suggests methods which might be use...
