In contrast to earlier concepts, it seems that distinct ligands acting on the same receptor may elicit qualitative different response patterns, a phenomenon given many names, including "functional selectivity," "agonist-directed trafficking," "biased agonism," "protean agonism," or "ligand-directed signaling." In this issue of Molecular Pharmacology, Sato et al. (p. 1359) extend this concept to...

In this paper we elaborate on the idea @Lohse et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1359–1362 ~1997!# that ~single! sonoluminescing air bubbles rectify argon. The reason for the rectification is that nitrogen and oxygen dissociate and their reaction products dissolve in water. We give further experimental and theoretical evidence and extend the theory to other gas mixtures. We show that in the absence o...

We review recent developments in the study of optical forces in integrated photonics. Our initial predictions suggested that freely suspended, parallel silicon waveguides should exhibit significant forces due to mode coupling. Symmetric an...

U rukopisnom zborniku poznatom kao Zbornik porodice Bizanti koji se čuva u Arhivu HAZU Zagrebu nalaze djelimično oštećeni prepisi nekoliko isprava iz druge polovine XIV. vijeka, nastalih kotorskoj kancelariji. Isprava od jula 1356. godine odnosi na podjelu novca između sinova Tripa Buće i regulisanja njegovih dugova. Dokumenta 14. aprila 27. 1359. govore o imovinskim sporovima Dome Berislavi Dr...

The Verifiability Approach (VA) is a verbal veracity tool that assumes truth tellers provide more details can be verified and obtain higher ratio of such (verifiable details/total details) than liars. A VA meta-analysis was conducted. Results showed reported verifiable liars ( k = 20, N 1532, g 0.42). effect moderated by the presence information protocol nature statement (event-related or not)....

This paper describes the use of a platinum resistance temperature detector to develop a calibration experiment and to introduce metrology principles. The Callender-Van Dusen equation is used to analyze the temperature-resistance characteristic of a detector. Linearity of this characteristic is explored using a MATLAB simulation. Resistance is measured at four different temperatures to estimate ...
