The ability to bond in communities of varying spatial scales is a special property of humans that happens through social networks. These networks have greater cohesion through invulnerability to disconnection without removal of k nodes. Menger’s (1927) connectivity theorem show...

The large number and variable quality of recent research papers in the field of protein biosynthesis often has made it difficult for readers to discern clearly the experimental basis (or lack thereof) of the interpretation put on the results that are presented. A new series of volumes has been initiated, therefore, to provide critical discussions of the methods used in this active area of bioch...
