Gap solitons and the nonlinear optical response of superlattices

We study theoretically the transmission of radiation through superlattices of finite length, where the dielectric constant of one film in each unit cell contains a term linear i...

Age-Dependent Neurofibrillary Tangle Formation, Neuron Loss, and Memory Impairment in a Mouse Model of Human Tauopathy (P301L)

Here, we describe the generation of a novel transgenic mouse model of human tauopathy. The rTg(tau P301L )4510 mouse expresses the P301L mutation in tau (4R0N) associated with f...

Managing 21st century network organizations

An extracellular Darwinian experiment with a self-duplicating nucleic acid molecule.

Understanding a visual scene is an unsolved and daunting task, since scenes can contain a large number of objects, their properties, and interrelations. Extracting the full scen...

Interleukin 6 Is Required for the Development of Collagen-induced Arthritis

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is overproduced in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, based on its multiple stimulatory effects on cells of the immune system and on...

A new murine monoclonal antibody reports an activation-dependent change in the conformation and/or microenvironment of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex.

Considerable evidence indicates that the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa complex on human platelets functions as a receptor for fibrinogen, but little is known about the mechanism of...

Vegetarian Dietary Patterns and Mortality in Adventist Health Study 2

Vegetarian diets are associated with lower all-cause mortality and with some reductions in cause-specific mortality. Results appeared to be more robust in males. These favorable...

An evaluation of incremental fit indices: A clarification of mathematical and empirical properties.

This study attempts to measure the quantitative contribution of major chemical fractions of the whole bovine cornea to ultraviolet (UV) absorption between 240 and 300 nm, with s...

Cancer Statistics for African Americans

The American Cancer Society provides estimates on the number of new cancer cases and deaths, and compiles health statistics on African Americans in a biennial publication, Cance...

Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods

Summary. We derive a Markov chain to sample from the posterior distribution for a phylogenetic tree given sequence information from the corresponding set of organisms, a stochas...

Assemblathon 1: A competitive assessment of de novo short read assembly methods

Low-cost short read sequencing technology has revolutionized genomics, though it is only just becoming practical for the high-quality de novo assembly of a novel large genome. W...

Parameters of the human genome.

Chromosome arm lengths are the critical parameters of the human genome. The physical length is required to scale radiation hybrid and other maps to megabases. The genetic length...
