The ability to represent mental states (‘Theory of Mind’; ToM) is crucial in understanding individual differences in social ability, and social impairments evident in conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test (RMET) is a popular measure of ToM ability, validated in part by the poor performance of those with ASD. However, the RMET requires recogni...

Small size antennas usually suffer from bandwidth limitations. Bandwidth can be increased by adding lossy elements but, they significantly affect the efficiency of the antenna. One method to solve the efficiency problem without increasing the antenna size is to use the tunable antenna concept. Recently, tunable antennas attract much attention in mobile communications. The objective of this proj...

The techniques of crystallization, developed in recent years, have permitted enzyme studies that are far more exact than were possible with the more crude preparations. Among the crystalline enzymes, Northrop’s pepsin has been the object of widespread and intensive research (1) which has contributed to the knowledge of enzyme action and mode of operation. In order to further the understanding o...
