Is acculturation a risk factor for early smoking initiation among Chinese American minors? A comparative perspective
Description :
OBJECTIVE—To determine the extent to which Chinese American and white minors differ in age of smoking initiation, and to determine the effect of acculturation on smoking initiation.
DESIGN—Cross-sectional telephone surveys.
SETTING—Stratified random samples of the state of California, United States....

Effect of feature-selective attention on neuronal responses in macaque area MT
Description :
Attention influences visual processing in striate and extrastriate cortex, which has been extensively studied for spatial-, object-, and feature-based attention. Most studies exploring neural signatures of feature-based attention have trained animals to attend to an object identified by a certain fe...

SVM-Prot: web-based support vector machine software for functional classification of a protein from its primary sequence
Description :
Prediction of protein function is of significance in studying biological processes. One approach for function prediction is to classify a protein into functional family. Support vector machine (SVM) is a useful method for such classification, which may involve proteins with diverse sequence distribu...

Operon prediction by comparative genomics: an application to the Synechococcus sp. WH8102 genome
Description :
We present a computational method for operon prediction based on a comparative genomics approach. A group of consecutive genes is considered as a candidate operon if both their gene sequences and functions are conserved across several phylogenetically related genomes. In addition, various supporting...

Description :
Coniosporium epidermidis sp. nov. is described from a superficial
skin lesion with blackish discolouration in an 80-yr-old Chinese patient. The
species produces dark, thick-walled, inflated, reluctantly liberating
arthroconidia without longitudinal septa. Sequences of the ribosomal operon,
as we...

Successful Transarterial Guglielmi Detachable Coil Embolization of Post-Traumatic Fistula between a Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm and the Cavernous Sinus: A Case Report
Description :
We describe a case of a post-traumatic posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysmcavernous sinus fistula, which is an extremely rare complication of craniocerebral trauma, successfully treated with endosaccular coil embolization via transarterial route. Endosaccular embolization with Guglielmi d...

Tuning the mechanical properties of self-assembled mixed-peptide tubes
Description :
In this study, nano- and microscale fibrillar and tubular structures formed by mixing two aromatic peptides known to self-assemble separately, (diphenylalanine and di-D-2-napthylalanine) have been investigated. The morphology, mechanical strength and thermal stability of the tubular structures forme...

Description :
Template unwinding during DNA replication initiation requires the loading of the MCM helicase activator Cdc45 at replication origins. We show that Cdc45 interacts with the DNA unwinding element (DUE) binding protein DUE-B and that these proteins localize to the DUEs of active replication origins. DU...
