Structural Properties Of Discs And Bulges Of Early-Type Galaxies, Roelof S. De Jong, Luc Simard, Roger L. Davies, R. P. Saglia, David Burstein, Matthew Colless, Robert Mcmahan, Gary Wegner Dec 2004

Structural Properties Of Discs And Bulges Of Early-Type Galaxies, Roelof S. De Jong, Luc Simard, Roger L. Davies, R. P. Saglia, David Burstein, Matthew Colless, Robert Mcmahan, Gary Wegner

Dartmouth Scholarship

We have used the EFAR sample of galaxies to investigate the light distributions of early-type galaxies. We decompose the two-dimensional light distribution of the galaxies in a flattened spheroidal component with a Sérsic radial light profile and an inclined disc component with an exponential light profile. We show that if we assume that all galaxies can have a spheroidal and a disc component, then the brightest, bulge-dominated elliptical galaxies have a fairly broad distribution in the Sérsic profile shape parameter nB, with a median of approximately 3.7 and with σ∼ 0.9. Other galaxies have smaller nB values. …

The article offers a description of characteristics of a local governmental model of health care. According to the author, these characteristics are: the domination of public sources of financing (especially local governments' budgets), the distribution of money on health care by the local government and administration, local government's ownership of most health-care units, availability of health-care services to every citizen. The article describes local governmental health care in the Scandinavian countries and Spain, presenting similarities and differences between particular systems and the reforms they have gone through. Special note was taken of the regulative function of the state and the …

Canning Spam: Consumer Protection Or A Lid On Free Speech?, Grant C. Yang

Duke Law & Technology Review

The United States Congress recently passed the first federal legislation to curb the influx of spam. However, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act ("CAN-SPAM Act") left some measures to be enacted by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), and some consumers are calling for the Act to have a broader reach and for the creation of a Do-Not-E-Mail registry. Conversely, the FTC decided to delay the creation of a registry and opted to assist in the development of a new technological authentication system. This iBrief looks at the current state of spam and explains that it is …

European Management Studies

The reforms undertaken in Poland have substantially changed the situation of many economic subjects. Among them are also heath-care units. The sphere of public services, in which health care is included, has been undergoing deep and dynamic changes consistent with the trends characteristic for the economy as a whole: the system of central planning is being replaced with free market economy. These changes call for an urgent and radical transformation of the present health-care management system. The article addresses the issues of financial and organisational reforms of the health-care sector that are being planned. The major goal set by the …

Systemy Refundacji I Metody Regulowania Cen Leków, Katarzyna Nędzi

European Management Studies

Because of the increasing expenditure on health care, the great majority of countries are looking for methods of reducing treatment costs. Health authorities apply a number of instruments to control prices of pharmaceuticals and their reimbursement in order to ensure the availability of adequate supplies of medicinal products at a reasonable cost, which largely depends on the specificity of medicines that improve people's health and save their lives. The paper presents methods of limiting expenditure on medicines as well as examples of national policies on price setting and reimbursement systems. It also demonstrates how European Union approaches the issues regarding …

Fire Ant War Rages At Field Station, Jennifer Southall Dec 2004

Fire Ant War Rages At Field Station, Jennifer Southall

University of Mississippi News

OXFORD, Miss. - University of Mississippi entomologist James Anderson likes to quote famed biologist E.O. Wilson on the topic of fire ants. Wilson once said that fire ants are the "Vietnam of entomology." He was referring specifically to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 20-year, $200 million failed campaign to eradicate the South American invaders through the use of insecticides.

The primary scientific mission of the Black Hole Finder Probe (BHFP), part of the NASA Beyond Einstein program, is to survey the local Universe for black holes over a wide range of mass and accretion rate. One approach to such a survey is a hard X-ray coded-aperture imaging mission operating in the 10-600 keV energy band, a spectral range that is considered to be especially useful in the detection of black hole sources. The development of new inorganic scintillator materials provides improved performance (for example, with regards to energy resolution and timing) that is well suited to the BHFP science …

Acetylcholine: Ii. Nicotinic Receptors, Joyce Besheer, Rick A. Bevins Dec 2004

Acetylcholine: Ii. Nicotinic Receptors, Joyce Besheer, Rick A. Bevins

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The nicotinic cholinergic system has been widely implicated in mediating learning and/or memory processes in human and nonhuman animals. This chapter highlights various areas of basic research in which stimulation or blockade of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) has been shown to affect an animals performance in a variety of tasks thought to measure learning and memory. For example, under certain conditions, stimulation of nAChRs by nicotine (or other nAChRs agonists) can enhance working memory of primates as measured in a delayed matching-to-sample task. Attentional processes are also improved in rats as indexed by a five-choice serial reaction time task. Further, …

Tsc2 Modulates Actin Cytoskeleton And Focal Adhesion Through Tsc1-Binding Domain And The Rac1 Gtpase, Elena Goncharova, Dmitry Goncharov, Daniel J. Noonan, Vera P Krymskaya Dec 2004

Tsc2 Modulates Actin Cytoskeleton And Focal Adhesion Through Tsc1-Binding Domain And The Rac1 Gtpase, Elena Goncharova, Dmitry Goncharov, Daniel J. Noonan, Vera P Krymskaya

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) 1 and TSC2 are thought to be involved in protein translational regulation and cell growth, and loss of their function is a cause of TSC and lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). However, TSC1 also activates Rho and regulates cell adhesion. We found that TSC2 modulates actin dynamics and cell adhesion and the TSC1-binding domain (TSC2-HBD) is essential for this function of TSC2. Expression of TSC2 or TSC2-HBD in TSC2-/- cells promoted Rac1 activation, inhibition of Rho, stress fiber disassembly, and focal adhesion remodeling. The down-regulation of TSC1 with TSC1 siRNA in TSC2-/- cells activated Rac1 and induced loss of …
