The Hurler syndrome is a genetic disorder in mucopolysaccharide metabolism which results in storage of mucopolysaccharides in various tissues of the body (1). The lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with the Hurler syndrome show metachromatic inclusions which are considered to be diagnostic (2). I t has not been established whether these inclusions reflect the uptake of mucopolysacc...

Agents that affect nerve excitability may be classed in two large groups according to their mode of action: those which block excitability by depolarizing the membrane, and those which cause little or no change in membrane potential but alter excitability by virtue of their ability to affect the mechanisms whereby the nerve membrane conductances are increased upon stimulation. Because of their ...

The mouse mammary tumor agent (MTA), normally transferred in the milk of females of cancerous strains, has the properties of an infectious agent or virus (1, 8-6). Antisera produced against agent-containing mouse mammary tissues, either normal or cancerous, in rabbits, rats, or guinea pigs have been found to neutralize the MTA in vivo and in vitro (1, 15, 24). The studies to be reported (8) wer...

A comparison has been made of the methods used for homogenizing and processing tissues in hydrocarbon-skin protein binding studies. The procedure of choice is to use a glass homogenizer cooled in ice and to precipitate the proteins with acetone. The zerotime binding of a number of hydrocarbons has been studied and has been found to be negligible. The zero-time binding of several derivatives of ...

The characteristics of the cell membrane seem to be of primary importance in the case of both conduction and contraction. Among the membrane qualities recently discovered is electrical rectification; ~z., the ability of the membrane to permit electrical current to pass more easily outward than inward (Cole and Curtis, 1941; Guttman and Cole, 1941). The present paper constitutes an at tempt to s...

In this paper I will a t tempt to describe the subject as it has developed in the last fifteen years, outlining the methods by which its problems have been approached and discussing its connections with other branches of Analysis. I t will perhaps be best to start by considering certain classical situations which lead naturally to singular integrals and which contain the seeds of some of the me...

Blockchain technology (BCT) provides a new way to mitigate the default risks of lease contracts resulting from information asymmetry in leasing. The conceptual architecture consortium blockchain-based leasing platform (CBLP) is first proposed facilitate sharing between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs, “lessees”) firms (LFs, “lessors”). Then, based on evolutionary game theory (EGT), thi...

The story of the fall man is told dramatically in Genesis 3: 1-24. This illustrates how humans abuse their freedom as rational beings who are called to love God and others. Human disloyalty this calling causes be expelled from Eden. into sin not only makes lose guarantees protection but also brings suffering. In situation, Satan uses state tempt people do evil. Therefore, research aims find ori...

Lime soil treatment is a chemical process in which lime (quicklime, hydrated or slurry) mixed with the place subgrade and reaction takes place. The reacts clay particles to create cementitious matrix. design of landfill base liners including layer as fluid barrier (i.e. water-resistant impervious layer) requires neat engineering approach considering, particular, consolidation behavior well hydr...
