Free Topological Groups over (Semi) Group Actions
Authors: MEGRELISHVILI MICHAEL 
Published: December 2006

ABSTRACTWe study equivariant embeddability into G‐groups. A new regionally proximal type relation introduced in the paper gives a necessary condition providing some counter‐examples. We establish also some sufficient conditions (for locally compact acting semigroups G, for instance) improving results of M.Eisenberg and J. de Vries.
On the Product of a Compact Space with an Absolutely Countably Compact Space
Authors: VAUGHAN JERRY E. 
Published: December 2006

ABSTRACTWe show that the product of a compact sequential T2‐space, with an absolutely countably compact T3‐space, is absolutely countably compact, and give several related results. For example, we show that every countably compact GO‐space is absolutely countably compact, and that the product of a compact T2‐space of countable tightness with an absolutely countably compact, ω‐bounded T3‐space (in particular a countably compact GO‐space) is absolutely countably compact.
Another Possibility
Authors: Malabou Catherine 
Published: December 2006

AbstractWe try to explore here the Derridean concept of "possibility." Such a concept has no contraries. It does not oppose effectivity or necessity, or even impossibility, but stays what it is in any case: possible. Trying to negate it or to contradict it only leads to denial. To Derrida, this strange status of possibility is addressed as the question of faith as such, as it appears in "Faith and Knowledge." Every belief is always, at its foundation, belief in the possibility of a completely different history altogether, in what Derrida calls the "utterly other chance." Is deconstruction the legible form of this otherness?
The Events of Morality and Forgiveness: From Kant to Derrida
Authors: Lotz Christian 
Published: December 2006

AbstractIn this paper, I will perform a "step back" by showing how Derrida's analysis of forgiveness is rooted in Kantian moral philosophy and in Derrida's interpretation of Kierkegaard's concept of decision. This will require a discussion of the distinction that Kant draws in his Groundwork between price (the economic) and dignity (the incomparable), as well as a discussion of the underlying notion of singularity in Kant's text. In addition, Derrida universalizes Kierkegaard's concept of the agent so that, with this perspective in view, the interpretation of Kantian morality as something that must be described in a paradoxical way, becomes fully transparent. Whereas the interpretation of Kantian morality will provide us with a concept of morality that remains a "blind spot" for the agent, with the help of Derrida's Kierkegaard interpretation we can see that the concept of decision remains ultimately ambivalent. In conclusion, both (a) the deconstructed concept of morality and (b) the concept of decision will finally (c) let us understand Derrida's radical concept of forgiveness, which is both a non-economic act of morality in the sense explained and an unpredictable, uncontrollable decision and event.
Reading: Derrida in Hegel's Understanding
Authors: Russon John 
Published: December 2006

AbstractHegel's dialectic "Consciousness," Part A from the Phenomenology of Spirit, is interpreted in light of the concept of "reading." The logic of reading is especially helpful for interpreting the often misunderstood dialectic of understanding, as that is described in chapter 3 of the Phenomenology, "Force and Understanding: Appearance and the Supersensible World." Hegel's concept of "the Inverted World" in particular is clarified, and from it Hegel's notion of originary difference is developed. Derrida's notion of "differance" is used to illuminate Hegel's use of difference and to interpret the Hegelian metaphysics that is developed in "Force and Understanding" and in the opening moves of Hegel's Science of Logic. It is argued that the philosophical projects of Hegel and Derrida are ultimately indistinguishable.
Deconstruction and Translation: The Passage into Philosophy
Authors: Crépon Marc 
Published: December 2006

AbstractIn taking up the question of translation as its guiding thread, this essay considers the extent to which deconstruction consists in a radical calling into question of the type of thought and practice of translation implied in what Derrida has called "the passage into philosophy." At the same time, a whole other thought of translation—of the very kind that Derrida put into practice—is demanded insofar as something like the survival of works and the very possibility of a tradition are at stake.
Crimes of the Tongue: The Inquisitorial Trials of Cristóbal Duarte Ballester
Authors: Surtz Ronald E. 
Published: December 2006

AbstractCristóbal Duarte Ballester was tried twice by the Spanish Inquisition. To the principal accusation of blasphemy the prosecutor added Ballester's faulty observance of the basic precepts of Christianity: eating meat on days forbidden by the church, not confessing his sins, and not attending mass. The Inquisition assigned a moral value to what came out of Ballester's mouth—oaths—as well as to what entered it—certain foods at forbidden moments. The defendant's oral crimes of blasphemy and nonobservance of fasts were compounded by such suspicion-provoking verbal behaviors as Ballester's fluency in Arabic and his love of singing songs in that language.
Alejo de Venegas's Agonía del Tránsito de la Muerte: A Morisco Treatise on the Art of Dying?
Authors: Vázquez Miguel Ángel 
Published: December 2006

AbstractThe mostly clandestine nature of Morisco literature both in Spanish and Aljamiado has prompted critics to inquire to what extent and how it was influenced by the canonical literature of the Golden Age. Indeed, there are many interesting examples of how the literary trends of the times influenced the Moriscos. The question of whether Morisco literature influenced the more canonical tradition, on the other hand, is especially interesting if one considers a work such as Agonía del tránsito de la muerte (1537) by the Toledan Alejo de Venegas (1498/99-1562) as a Morisco text. Álvaro Galmés de Fuentes proposed just such a reading, but I argue that the evidence does not fully support his hypothesis, which must be revised along the lines I propose.
Mudejar: An Alternative Architectural System in the Castilian Urban Repopulation Model
Authors: Borrás Gualis Gonzalo M. 
Published: December 2006

AbstractThis essay takes the city of Toledo as an example of the adaptation of mudejar architecture to the repopulation efforts of conquered territories throughout Castile. Considering architectural developments from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, it explains the ways in which adaptation and innovation occurred in response to changes in population as well as the expansion of the Castilian state. The essay models a methodological alternative to the more traditional strategy of art history, which is to focus on regional aesthetic choices.
Eating attitudes and depression in a Turkish sample
Authors: Büyükgöze‐Kavas Ayşenur 
Published: December 2006

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the current study was to investigate (a) the relationship between eating attitudes and depression and (b) the differences between male and female university students eating attitudes and depression. The participants of the study included 127 female and 142 male Turkish university students.MethodData on depression and eating attitudes of students were collected by using the Turkish version of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Eating Attitudes Test (EAT).ResultsSignificant correlation coefficients were found between depression and eating attitudes scores of the students. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between eating attitudes scores of females and males. However, findings also revealed that gender did not lead to any significant difference in the depression levels of university students. With regard to the MANOVA no significant association emerged between eating attitudes and depression as a function of gender and age. Results of the study were discussed in the light of cultural context. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.
TUBELESS GASTRIC ANALYSIS AS A TOOL TO MEASURE GASTRIC SECRETORY ACTIVITY*
Authors: Segal Harry L. 
Published: December 2006

SummaryThis report discusses the tubeless techniques available to evaluate the capability of the gastric mucosa to secrete acid, pepsinogens, and intrinsic factor. The presence of gastric acid can be determined by proper application of the azure A ion‐exchange resin technique. Pepsinogen and intrinsic factor activity may be inferred from measurement of the urinary pepsinogens and the absorption of an oral dose of radioactive vitamin B12 with or without added intrinsic factor, respectively. A normal serum vitamin B12 level may be present in a patient with a recent failure of intrinsic factor secretion: however, a decreased level is suggestive of the absence of intrinsic factor in individuals who have no evidence for malabsorption. The value of the rapid charcoal method developed in Herbert's laboratory for measuring serum vitamin B12 is discussed.The results of the tubeless tests have clinical significance in the diagnosis of gastritis and vitamin B12 deficiency, in the management of a patient with a gastric ulcer niche, and in suggesting further studies for early detection of gastric malignancy.
REGULATION OF INTERSTITIAL FLUID VOLUME AND PRESSURE*
Authors: Guyton Arthur C. , Coleman Thomas G. 
Published: December 2006

SummaryThree recent discoveries in the field of interstitial fluid dynamics make it pos‐ sible to construct a relatively complete analysis of the regulation of interstitial fluid volume and interstitial pressure. These three discoveries are the following: First, the normal interstitial fluid pressure is about ‐7 mm Hg in contrast to the previously believed values of + 1 to +8 mm Hg. Second, the volume‐pressure curve of the interstitial spaces is very nonlinear: a very slight increase in interstitial fluid volume above normal will increase the interstitial fluid pressure from ‐7 mm Hg up to equal atmospheric pressure (0 mm Hg), but, once the interstitial fluid pressure has risen above this level, the tissue spaces balloon outward rapidly, in such a way that tremendous volumes of fluid can then be accommodated in the tissue spaces with almost no further rise in interstitial fluid pressure. Indeed, at positive pressures of +2 to +5 mm Hg, 4+ edema occurs in the S.C. tissues of the body. Third, the fluids normally present in the interstitial spaces appear not to be motile but instead bound and held firmly in place. This fluid can diffuse back and forth between the circulation and interstitial spaces because of the tremendous pressures (up to one million mm Hg) that exist for causing the process of diffusion to occur. On the other hand, this fluid cannot be removed from the tissue spaces by the usual, comparatively weak hydrostatic forces that develop in the lymphatic system or that develop as a result of osmosis at the capillary membrane. When edema occurs, essentially all the extra fluid that appears in the tissues is in the motile state and can be moved easily from one part of the tissue to another with only 0 to 5 mm Hg pressure gradient. Under normal conditions, two different factors, (a) lymphatic flow caused by arterial pulsation and other types of motion in the tissues, and (b) osmosis of fluid from the tissue spaces through the capillary membrane, keep the tissues “dry” of motile fluid and thereby maintain a negative interstitial fluid pressure of about ‐7 mm Hg. Therefore, the normal interstitial fluid volume is regulated to essentially zero motile fluid in the interstitid spaces, and the fluid that is present in the interstitial spaces appears to be only that amount entrapped by the gel in the ground substance of the tissue spaces or held by capillarity in very minute tissue spaces.
RESPIRATORY TRACT DAMAGE IN BURNS: PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND THERAPY*
Authors: Zikria Bashir A. , Sturner William Q. , Astarjian Nubar K. , Fox Charles L. , Ferrer Jose M. 
Published: December 2006

Summary(1) Of the 27 burn fatalities with respiratory tract involvement, this internal damage was the primary cause of death in 20 cases.(2) The edema and sodium contents in the lungs become maximal in 12 to 48 hr following the burn.(3) The surface tension in the lungs is abnormally elevated in respiratory burns and may be one of the causes of nonobstructive atelectasis.(4) The venous clotting time becomes depressed in the acute phase of respiratory burn and returns to normal in 24 hr.(5) Lymph drainage into the left thoracic duct vestibule decreases during the acute phase of the burn in the dog.(6) In the acute phase of the burn, the respiratory insufficiency is secondary to edema and to patchy atelectasis which can be reduced by automatic positive pressure respiration.(7) Infection of pulmonary and tracheobronchial tree plays a major role after 48 hr and early antibiotic coverage may help to control it.
TOXIC FACTORS AND PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES IN BURNS*

Published: December 2006

SUMMARYAll preparations bioassayed were sterile. In addition, incorporation of antibiotics during preparation of the skin extract did not lessen the mortalities. The toxicity of the dialyzed mouse skin extract is not due to the presence of bacteria.In searching for factors which cause death in burn patients receiving therapy, we investigated the skin as a source of toxic factors. Both normal and burned skin, when processed as described, yielded sterile extracts which caused death in saline‐treated scalded mice. By means of ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephadex chromatography of this extract, fractions having enzymatic activity have been obtained. These fractions also proved toxic to saline‐treated scalded mice. Isolation and identification of the active material may contribute to understanding the cause of death in burn patients and hopefully to therapy.
ADHESION OF PLATELETS TO SUBENDOTHELIUM
Authors: Baumgartner Hans R. , Haudenschild Christian 
Published: December 2006

SummaryEndothelium provides the physiologic nonthrombogenic surface in vivo. Connective tissue components underneath the endothelial lining form the subendo‐thelium. The subendothelial surface appears far less thrombogenic than collagen fibers. Platelet adhesion to subendothelium as an entity is greatly enhanced by the presence of other blood cells, by an increase in the flow rate of the circulating blood, and by the presence of divalent cations. The affinity of platelets to different connective tissue components of the subendothelium varies markedly. When exposed to the same blood stream in a newly developed perfusion chamber, the affinity of platelets to the respective material decreases in the following order: collagen fibers, amorphous material (basement membrane), microfibrils, and elastin.
THE EFFECT OF ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES ON FIBRIN‐CLOT STABILIZATION*
Authors: Shanberge J. N. , Tanaka K. , Gruhl M. C. , Ikemori R. , Inoshita K. 
Published: December 2006

SummaryIn studying the stability of fibrin clots formed from native plasma, in 1% monochloroacetic acid, it has been found that at a given temperature there is a variation among individuals. Clots formed from normal young adult females are more stable than those from males, but those formed from females taking contraceptive medication are significantly more stable than those of males or females not on contraceptives. Increased fibrin clot stability in females on oral contraceptive medication is not related to the increased fibrinogen level or to the level of fibrin‐stabilizing factor (Factor XIII) in such individuals.
TESTING MORPHOLOGICAL PRODUCTIVITY
Authors: Aronoff Mark , Schvaneveldt Roger 
Published: December 2006

SummaryWe have shown how an experimental technique borrowed from cognitive psychology, the Lexical Decision Task, can be used to study morphology. In particular, we have shown that native speakers of English respond positively more often to novel words of the form Xiveness than they do to words of the form Xivity, a result which was predicted from the greater productivity of the former pattern, as determined by techniques of linguistic analysis. Our finding holds true under a variety of instructions. While the result of our study is not particularly surprising, we hope that in demonstrating that the Lexical Decision Task is a reliable tool in the study of morphology we will encourage further research along the lines that we have developed.
CLINICAL CRITERIA OF BRAIN DEATH *
Authors: Allen Norman , Burkholder James , Comiscioni John 
Published: December 2006

SummaryAnalyses have been performed upon data derived from 503 patients having coma and apnea in the Collaborative Study of Cerebral Survival and from subsets of 44 survivors and 102 cases in which details of temporal course and outcome were specified. Three methods of analysis were employed. The first consisted of correlation of proposed clinical signs with a series of presumptive definitions of brain death, the most rigorous of which included pathologic diagnosis. The second dealt with a conservative definition of brain death based upon the condition of electrocerebral silence with comparison of time course of clinical signs in patients having presumptive brain death versus that in patients who survived. Third, discrimination value of individual signs and combinations was evaluated by phi coefficients in relationship of presumptive brain death versus cases without evidence of brain death. These analyses lead to the exclusion of some of the proposed clinical signs. Body temperature and blood pressure showed no correlational trend and had no discriminative value. The spinal reflexes showed high persistence rates in cases of presumptive brain death and also had low phi coefficients. Some reflexes, the audio‐ocular and abdominal, were excessively sensitive, being commonly absent both in brain death as well as in non‐brain death cases and survivors. The snout and jaw reflexes were the two cephalic reflexes most likely to persist in presumptive brain death and to have low phi coefficients. The clinical signs recommended as diagnostic criteria include: coma, apnea, and the absence of the light, vestibular, oculocephalic and corneal reflexes. These criteria existed in the absence of severe hypothermia (below 90|Mo F) or drug intoxication. The four cephalic reflexes were identified on the basis of prevailing absence in presumptive brain death, return in cases ultimately surviving, and high phi coefficients. Spontaneous movements are of borderline clinical value but may be retained in view of lay interpretations. Pupillary dilatation is not a criterion, except in the cases of brain death due to cardiac arrest. The pharyngeal, swallow and cough reflexes need not be criteria for brain death, but are of value in the sequential identification of drug‐intoxicated survivors. EEG recording is necessary in addition to the clinical criteria in order to avoid incorrect identification of brain death in patients with primary brain‐stem disorders and in potential survivors.
A GENERALIZATION OF DIRACS THEOREM* ON TRIANGULATED GRAPHS
Authors: Golumbic Martin Charles 
Published: December 2006

SummaryGolumbic and Goss [5] introduced the class of chordal bipartite graphs, which was shown to be the bipartite analog of triangulated graphs. This paper completes the connection by proving a stronger theorem for chordal bipartite graphs and by deriving some previously known results on triangulated graphs.
THERE IS ONE HADAMARD MATRIX OF ORDER 24 AND BOTH CHARACTERS 1
Authors: Longyear Judith Q. 
Published: December 2006

SummaryThis paper is a part of the joint effort of N. Ito, J. Leon, and the author to determine the number of Hadamard matrices of order 24 which are inequivalent under transposition, row, or column permutation and row or column negation. The matrices of character at least 2 in either the plain or transpose have been discussed earlier. Here we show there is a unique matrix with both characters one.
A BUDGET OF RHYME SCHEME COUNTS1
Authors: Riordan John 
Published: December 2006

SummaryRhyme schemes, perhaps the oldest combinatorial setting behind the Setting and Bell numbers, are rescued from current neglect by this budget of enumerations. A rhyme scheme for a stanza of n verses is a (number) sequence (r1, r2, …, rn) in which rj may be any of 1, 2, …, dj‐1+ 1, with dj the number of distinct numbers among r1, …, rj, the rhyme schemes for n= 3 are: 111, 112, 121, 122, 123. The total number of schemes for n verses is of course the Bell number Bn. They have a trivial mapping of set‐partitions but some enumerations familiar in the study of sequences are odd (even idiotic) when rephrased as set‐partitions. The budget displayed (by no means exhaustive) is selected for its interest in the study of Bell and Stirling numbers. One surprise is the appearance of refined Bell multivariable polynomials.
ON THE MOBILE RADIO FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM AND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT PHASING PROBLEM
Authors: Roberts Fred S. 
Published: December 2006

SummaryThe problem of assigning frequencies to mobile radio telephones and the problem of assigning green light times to traffic streams at an intersection both deal with the assignment of a set S(x) to each vertex x of a graph G. The frequency assignment problem is concerned with set colorings: S(x) and S(y) are disjoint if x and y are joined by an edge. The traffic light phasing problem is concerned with set phasings: S(x) and S(y) are disjoint if x and y are not joined by an edge. This paper obtains some results on the existence and minimum size of set colorings and phasings under special restrictions on the sets S(x), for example, that each S(x) is a real interval or a set of n integers, or a set with at least a certain number of elements. Some of these results extend recent work on the n‐tuple chromatic number. Finally, the set phasing and coloring problems are related to the problem of assigning sets S(x) to vertices of a graph so that S(x) and S(y) overlap if and only if x and y are joined by an edge. Results about existence and minimum size of such set assignments are given.
STUDIES OF Ca2+ RELEASE FROM SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM*

Published: December 2006

SummaryOur studies of Ca2+ release have shown that three classes of compounds—quercetin, which inhibits Ca2+ release by reversal of the Ca2+ pump, H+ ionophores and DCCD, which affect proton gradients, and lipophilic anions, which act to oppose a separation of membrane surface charges‐all have potential in probing the mechanism of Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Interaction of Fibroblasts, Hemopoietic Cells and Platelets with Extracellular Matrix: Characterization and Role of a Common Cell Surface Glycoproteina
Authors: GIANCOTTI FILIPPO G. , COMOGLIO PAOLO M. , TARONE GUIDO 
Published: December 2006

Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix plays an important role in the complex phenomena involving cell motility, such as tumor metastasis1 and embryonic development.2 Interaction with the extracellular matrix is also required for the proper cellular response to growth and differentiation factors.3 A number of extracellular glycoproteins, which include fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin and collagens, are able to protnote cell adhesion by interacting with the plasma membrane.4 The complex and dynamic process of cell adhesion requires that, after binding to the adhesive factor, receptors in the plasma membrane either cluster and participate in the formation of adhesion plaques that are necessary for stable adhesion, or otherwise interact with the cytoskeletal motor to activate the tractional forces necessary for cell locomotion.5In the present paper we will briefiy summarize some of our past work and report some new data on the identification, structural characterization and functional role of a mouse membrane glycoprotein implicated in the adhesion of fibroblasts, hemopoietic cells and platelets to the extracellular matrix.
