Molecular basis of engineered meganuclease targeting of the endogenous human RAG1 locus
Homing endonucleases recognize long target DNA sequences generating an accurate double-strand break that promotes gene targeting through homologous recombination. We have modified the homodimeric I-CreI endonuclease through protein engineering to target a specific DNA sequence within the human RAG1 gene. Mutations in R...

Optimized Multisite Ventricular Pacing in Postoperative Single-Ventricle Patients
Ventricular dyssynchrony is associated with morbidity and mortality after palliation of a single ventricle. The authors hypothesized that resynchronization with optimized temporary multisite pacing postoperatively would be safe, feasible, and effective. Pacing was assessed in the intensive care unit within the first 24...

Scales, weights and weight-regulated artefacts in Middle and Late Bronze Age Britain
The identification of weights and weight-regulated artefacts is of primary importance for confirming the existence of European Bronze Age value ratios and exchange systems. Until recently, however, no such Bronze Age artefacts had been identified in Britain. Here, statistical analysis identifies - for the first time - ...

The Enigma of the Hyksos
The Hyksos (Greek rendering of the Egyptian title “rulers of the foreign countries”) were a dynasty of foreign rulers of Egypt between c.1640 and 1530 BC. Some modern researchers, following the ancient historian Flavius Josephus (1st cent. AD) thought they were ancestors of the early Israelites, others suggested that t...

Micro ATR FTIR imaging of hanging drop protein crystallisation
Protein crystallisation is of great importance within structural proteomic projects where considerable time and effort is spent trying to obtain high resolution structural information from the X-ray diffraction of protein crystals. The crystallisation process is largely empirical due to a lack of understanding of cryst...

Combining Experiments For Linear Dynamic Network Identification In The Presence Of Nonlinearities
In many practical applications it might be desirable to excite only point at a time in an interconnection of multiple dynamic subsystems (e. g. large-scale system). Therefore multiple experiments need to be combined to successfully identify one or more subsystems in the network of subsystems. This papers illustrates h...

Unlike a generic PSK/QAM detector, which may visit a constellation diagram only once, a depth-first Sphere Decoder (SD) has to re-visit the same constellation diagram multiple times. Therefore, in order to prevent the SD from repeating the detection operations, the Schnorr-Euchner search strategy of Schnorr and Euchner...

Parental epigenetic asymmetry of PRC2-mediated histone modifications in the Arabidopsis endosperm
Parental genomes in the endosperm are marked by differential DNA methylation and are therefore epigenetically distinct. This epigenetic asymmetry is established in the gametes and maintained after fertilization by unknown mechanisms. In this manuscript, we have addressed the key question whether parentally inherited di...

Differences in persistence between dogs and wolves in an unsolvable task in the absence of humans
Despite being closely related, dogs perform worse than wolves in independent problem-solving tasks. These differences in problem-solving performance have been attributed to dogs’ greater reliance on humans, who are usually present when problem-solving tasks are presented. However, more fundamental motivational factors ...

Theory of the spin Hall effect, and its inverse, in a ferromagnetic metal near the Curie temperature
We give a theory of the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in ferromagnetic metals based on skew scattering via collective spin fluctuations. This extends Kondo's theory of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) to include short-range spin-spin correlations. We find a relation between the ISHE and the four-spin correlations near...
