## Abstract Without some way of measuring their impact on the community, nonprofit boards can easily fall back into monitoring staff activities, mistaking efforts for outcomes. But developing useful metrics can be a painful, costly, and distracting process. Rather than demanding statistical rigor,

## Abstract The challenge of peptide and peptidomimetic research is the development of methods and techniques to improve the biological properties of native peptides and to convert peptide ligands into non‐peptide compounds. Improved biological properties of peptides includes enhancement of stabili

Platonische und Archimedische Körper repräsentieren die wenigen Möglichkeiten, nach denen man mehr als drei chemisch identische Untereinheiten, die regelmäûigen Vielecken entsprechen, auf der Oberfläche eines Sphäroids anordnen kann, um eine hohle Kugelschale aufzubauen. Die zugrundeliegenden geome

## Abstract The spleen of the exhypoxic polycythemic mouse was employed as a model system to study the effect of erythropoietin on enzymes that chemically modify nuclear proteins. At selected time intervals after in vivo administration of erythropoietin, acetyltransferase and methyltransferase acti

## Abstract Deception and debriefing are commonly used marketing research procedures. However, marketers have paid little attention to the ethical and methodological issues inherent in the use of these practices. One explanation may be that greater emphasis has traditionally been placed on research

## Abstract At fertilization, the vitelline envelope surrounding the egg of Xenopus laevis is modified by the addition of an electron‐dense component termed the “F layer.” The F layer functions as a block to polyspermy and as a block to the escape of macromolecules from the perivitelline space, the

## Abstract A shielded solenoidal probe, suitable for __in vivo__ NMR studies of subcutancous solid tumors, is described. The ^31^P NMR spectra obtained from phantom samples and __in vivo__ subeutaneous solid tumors in mice show that spurious signals from the body are totally eliminated if the prop

About 14 years ago, I was fortunate to be recruited by Dr. Michael Brooke to join a group of clinicians with the aim of developing a protocol to define the natural history of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).' Why was this important? So many studies dating back several decades had given false hopes

Current processes for upgrading bitumen from Athabasca oil sands produce synthetic crudes which are high in aromatics and deficient in hydrogen. As a consequence, middle distillate fractions derived from these syncrudes produce diesel fuels of low cetane number and jet fuels which are hydrogen defic
