Talk:Samuel Brannan

message: This just didn't sound correct:
"Brannan went to the mill and he recieved the tithes of the LDS workers there from the gold they had found in their spare time."
So I added the "as a representative of the LDS Church". I don't know if this is correct, but it is not likely that LDS would have been giving Brannan "tithes" (if that is indeed what he was recieving instead of perhaps payment for goods and services) unless he was acting as an agent for the LDS Church. B 15:38, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
:As I understand it, Brannan was the bishop in San Francisco, and the highest member of the church in California at the time.  Not too sure, as I'm a Catholic myself, so I don't know all about the internal workings of the LDS church. Gentgeen
I'm double checking, but I believe he was the presiding church authority, not a Bishop. -Visorstuff 17:02, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

thread_title:  Subgenres 

message: I'd like to see citations of film historians who categorize mysteries and police procedurals as sub-genres of crime films. I don't buy it. Mysteries and police procedurals are about solving crimes; they are detective films. Crime films, in movie parlance, are about committing crimes. If a Hollywood producer hired you to write a "crime film", and you turned in a screenplay about a detective solving a crime, he would be unhappy. --Tysto (talk) 01:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The source in question discussing the Crime action subgenre was a misinterpretation.
"Screenwriter and academic Jule Selbo wrote that describing a film as a "crime/action" or an "action/crime" or other hybrids was "only a semantic exercise" as both genres are important in the construction phase of the narrative." While they do say that they were a hybrid, but thinking that as it's own entity isn't useful, they exist on their own. I'm going to expand on this as a sub-genre within Action film, but for now, i've removed it in this case. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Mother Teresa/Archive 6

message: 1) Can someone archive some of the discussion it is again far too long, but I do not know yet enough how to do this
2) There is one point in the criticism section which I find curious: Her supposed support for a forced sterilisation programme. This sounds so out of order for a catholic nun, that I can not really believe this. I searched today the whole day the net and could not come up with any source supporting this. The only "close" finding i had was that she apparently made some/many(?) supportive noises towards Rajiv Gandhi, who in turn run this programme - but no direct link between her and the programme. Unless this link is established I believe this criticism is "tabloid" and should be removed.
::It is one of the more strange claims. On the face of it there was about as much likelihood of Mother Teresa supporting sterilisation as there was of her supporting abortion. Both are condemned by the RC Church in equal measure. It is indicative of some of the fundamental errors regarding Roman Catholic beliefs that have been added in here and elsewhere. Unless some credible source can be found for this on the face of it nutty suggestion, it should indeed be binned. FearÉIREANN 00:06, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Numerically, one finds \frac{4 \epsilon_0}{9}\sqrt{2 e / m_e} = 2.33\times 10^{-6}, as written in the current article.

Talk:Xanthine oxidase

message: :Xanthine oxidase is really the product of a proteolytic cleavage of the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase, which occurs in tissues under conditions of oxygen starvation. When oxygen supply is restored to the tissue, xanthine oxidase activity continues, and the result is the liberation of free radicals that can cause the injury known as "ischemic reperfusion damage." Xanthine oxidase is the first enzyme known that completely reverses its catalytic activity upon modification by proteases.

So umm... should I include this? Can someone hopefully tell me where this theory is wrong? Wouldn't fat globules simply be digested?

message: Reaction (as posted)
The following chemical reactions are catalyzed by xanthine oxidase:
hypoxanthine + H2O + O2  xanthine + H2O2
xanthine + H2O + O2  uric acid + H2O2
It was my understanding that the above reactions are not 100% accurate, as hypoxanthine and xanthine do not directly produce a H2O2 byproduct.  Instead the equations should have superoxide production followed by (fast) degradation of superoxide into hydrogen peroxide.  But this would not happen without the presence of superoxide dismutase, so really the equations should look like:
hypoxanthine + H2O + O2 <->(XO) xanthine + .O2- <->(SOD) xanthine + H2O2
xanthine + H2O2 + O2 <->(XO) uric acid + .O2- <->(SOD) uric acid + H2O2
Right now the sources I have confirming this are InvitrogenInvitrogen, a company that produces an assay for X/XO reactions, as well as Kuppusamy P and Zweier JL, 1989Kuppusamy P and Zweier JL, 1989, an article that explores the production of free oxygen radicals including .O2-, H2O2, and .OH.
