## Abstract Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a positive regulator of active transcription in euchromatin. HP1 was first identified in __Drosophila melanogaster__ as a major component of heterochromatin. Most eukaryotes have at least three isoforms of HP1, which are conserved in overall structure

## Abstract The polypeptide poly‐γ‐(__n__‐dodecyl)‐L‐glutamate (PDLG) is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, cyclohexane, and dodecane. The CD spectra of PLDG in these solvents are reported here. These spectra are typical α‐helix spectra and show none of the wavelength shifts and magnit

## Abstract A little over 20 years ago, (Teyler and DiScenna,1986; Behav Neurosci 100:147–152) proposed the hippocampal memory index theory. It offered an account of episodic memory based on the intrinsic organization of the hippocampus, its synaptic physiology and its anatomical relationship to ot

The synthesis of tritium-labelled misonidazole via the NaB3H4. reduction of 1-(3-methoxy-2~xopropyl) -2-nitro-1Himidazole is described. Purification of labelled misonidazole was accqlished by recrystallization. The purity of the labelled cmpund was verified by HPLC.

## Abstract Nicotine and other nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists have been shown to exert neuroprotective actions in vivo and in vitro by an as yet unknown mechanism. Even the identification of the subtype of nicotinic receptor(s) mediating this action has not been determined. In neural cel

## Abstract Detailed studies of seasonal patterns of karst processes are rare in remote regions with limited winter access. An important aspect of erosional and environmental processes is how these change over time, and how they relate to annual cycles of temperature, precipitation and runoff. Such

## Abstract This chapter, which focuses on the socialization process for new chairs, offers suggestions and recommendations for practice.

The controlled release of a partially treated mine-water discharge dominated by iron was evaluated for impact on the aquatic community during July and August of 1993 in southeastern Ohio. The discovery of an endangered mussel species, Lampsilis abrupta, prompted further validation of a lowest observ

## Abstract Underfunded pension plans are a big problem. S&P 500 companies alone have a whopping pension deficit of $239 billion. Now one company, General Motors, is issuing debt to cover the gap. But should other companies do the same thing? Should you? __© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.__

A commercially available mammary implant containing a soft polyester polyurethane foam shell has been examined for possible diamine hydrolysis products. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) analysis has shown ester and aromatic structures present in the intact foam shell. Vigorous hydrolysis condition
