places; on the contrary, they come from literally all continents and they interact and collaborate virtually. OSS communities resemble other online communities in the sense that they are “collectives of individuals that cohere around a shared spirit” (Hollenbeck, 2006, p. 576) and they make use of the Internet as the dominant medium for communication and interaction sociated with the hacker cul...

If left untreated, infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato may lead to chronic Lyme borreliosis. It is still unknown how this pathogen manages to persist in the host in the presence of competent immune cells. It was recently reported that Borrelia suppresses the host's immune response, thus perhaps preventing the elimination of the pathogen (I. Diterich, L. Härter, D. Hassler, A. Wendel,...

Novel image acquisition tools such as micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) in form of quador octo-rotor helicopters support the creation of 3D reconstructions with ground sampling distances below 1 cm. The limitation of aerial photogrammetry to nadir and oblique views in heights of several hundred meters is bypassed, allowing close-up photos of facades and ground features. However, the new acquisition ...

Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, isolated from bone and joint infections, specifically interact with bone sialoprotein (BSP), a glycoprotein of bone and dentine extracellular matrix, via a cell-surface protein of M(r) 97000 [Yacoub, Lindahl, Rubin, Wendel, Heinegârd and Rydén, (1994) Eur. J. Biochem. 222, 919-925]. Amino acid sequences of seven trypsin fragments from the 97000-M(r) BSP-binding p...

SEPTEMBER 2010 I RETINA TODAY I 75 W hen Kelly and Wendel described vitreous surgery for idiopathic macular holes in 1991, they advised face-down postoperative posturing for patients.1 Since that time, most retina specialists have adopted face-down positioning as a cardinal rule after macular hole surgery, although there is a lack of data showing its necessity. At the American Academy of Ophtha...

The presence of methemoglobin, more rarely sulfhemoglobin, in the blood of patients treated with sulfanilamide has been reported by many investigators (1 a-f). Evelyn and Malloy (2), using their photoelectric colorimeter, found both these pigments but felt they were not responsible for the " cyanosis." Wendel (3), using his visual spectroscopic method (4), found methemoglobin and (occasionally)...

EBNA-5 is one of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded nuclear proteins required for immortalization of human B lymphocytes. In the nuclei of EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines EBNA-5 is preferentially targetted to distinct nuclear foci. Previously we have shown (W.Q. Jiang, L. Szekely, V. Wendel-Hansen, N. Ringertz, G. Klein, and A. Rosen, Exp. Cell Res. 197:314-318, 1991) that the same ...
