phosphate is the predominant small molecule binding J3 in blood serum is shown to be incorrect. Experiments in which Al3 is added to solutions containing phosphate and citrate in the same proportions as in serum clearly show that citrate prevents formation of any aluminum phosphate precipitate, and analysis of these data indicates that the assumed binding constants for soluble phosphate are two orders of magnitude too strong. Consideration of the effect of competitive binding of alkaline earth metal ions to citrate on Al3 binding and of a set of transferrin-Al3 stability constants leads to the conclusion that the proportions are in close agreement with previously published results. We conclude on the basis of stability constants that, of the Al3 in blood serum,-89 % (±5%) binds to transferrin and-11 % (±5%) to citrate.

Abstract. In an effort to explain the source of nonstorm streamflow in deep-soiled areas of the southern Appalachians, a 3 X 3 X 45-foot inclining concrete trough was constructed on a 40 per cent slope. The structure was packed with a natural sandy-loam soil to a bulk density of 1.3, and after

As a present to Mizar on its 40th anniversary, we develop an AI/ATP system that in 30 seconds of real time on a 14-CPU machine automatically proves 40 % of the theorems in the latest official version of the Mizar Mathematical Library (MML). This is a considerable improvement over previous

the Standpoint of Artificial Intelligence," in 1969. A quarter of a century is a very long time in the time frame of computer science, and especially in the history of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which has itself been around for only about 40 years. Indeed, it is not much younger than the advent

ients when compared with AIS; there was no differ-ence between groups (PECAM-1, p = 0.393; E-selectin, p = 0.579). The PECAM-1/E-selectin ratio was also similar for AIS and stroke mimics, and all were>4.0. Conclusions: EMP levels were similar in patients with AIS and stroke mimic patients
