In this powerful new interpretation of the book of Revelation, the late, revered author and translator of The Message Bible offers timely insights into how we can lean into growth, not in spite of challenging times, but because of them. The book of Revelation is filled with angels and dragons, fan

"[This] novel has immense power in its climax," said The Encyclopedia of Fantasy about Darrell Schweitzer's 1982 novel, THE SHATTERED GODDESS. Now, at last, here's the companion volume to that work, a cycle of eleven stories set "in the time of the death of the Goddess." This is an Earth of the far

Profilin, a ubiquitous 12 to 15-kDa protein, serves many functions, including sequestering monomeric actin, accelerating nucleotide exchange on actin monomers, decreasing the critical concentration of the barbed end of actin filaments, and promoting actin polymerization when barbed ends are free. Mo

The radical homopolymerization of styrene or copolymerization of styrene (S) with N-butyl maleimide (I) initiated by tetraethylthiuram disulfide was used to prepare macroinitiators having thiyl end groups. The S-I copolymers from the feeds containing 30-70 mol % I showed approximately alternating co

The electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry technique applied for the first time to aliphatic polyester analysis, allowed fast and reliable identification of the various macromolecules of poly(3hydroxybutanoic acid) (PHB), synthesized via ring-opening polymerization of b-butyrolactone. It w

Microtubule-based motor proteins assemble and reorganize acentrosomal mitotic and meiotic spindles in animal cells. The functions of motor proteins in acentrosomal plant spindles are unknown. The cellulosic cell wall and relative small size of most plant cells precludes accurate detection of the spa

that for a technology to have a positive impact on performance, it must not only be utilized, but it must also be a satisfactory tool for the critical tasks at hand. As a counter example, Pentland (1989) found that IRS auditors had positive attitudes toward PCs and utilized them extensively, but tha

Tarsal joint forces were measured in dogs over 70 days following botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections. Three dogs were injected at motor end-plates located by electromyography (EMG), while 3 dogs were similarly injected, but without EMG guidance. Extension forces were significantly (P < 0.05) s

Polyethylene oxide (PEO) with 4-amino-N-(2-pyrimidinyl) benzene sulfonamide (APBS; PEO as ) at one end was used as a carrier polymer for attachment (via the hydroxyl end group) of drugs such as mustard. For this purpose, the amine group of PEO as was protected first by the formation of a Schiff's ba

The reflection coefficient of an open-ended boxed microstrip line is computed ¨ia three different approaches. Two of the approaches are based on the computation of the input impedance at the plane of the excitation, and the third approach is based on the application of the matrix pencil technique. I

SUMMARY: "DOUGLAS ADAMS IS A TERRIFIC SATIRIST."--The Washington Post Book WorldFacing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across sp
