of the strength of the edge response is locally maximal over scales. An important property of this definition is that it allows the scale levels to vary along the edge. Two specific measures of edge strength are analysed in detail. It is shown that by expressing these in terms of &

uptake via macropinocytosis. In contrast to what has been found with other cell types, macropinocytosis in DCs is constitutive and allows continuous internalization of large volumes of fluid. The second mechanism of capture is mediated via the mannose receptor (MR), which is expressed at high levels

of the reference type of NPs in argument positions on the temporal consti-tution of the verbal expressions, assuming an event semantics with lattice structures and thematic roles as primitive relations between events and ob-jects. Some consequences for the theory of thematic roles will be discussed, and the effect

It is by now a well-known topic in semantics that there are striking similarities between the meanings of nominal and verbal expressions, insofar as the mass:count distinction in the nominal domain is reflected in the ate1ic:telic distinction in the verbal domain (cf. Leisi 1953, Taylor 1977,

lec2 phenotypes can be rescued by ABI3 or FUS3 constitutive expression. In addition, ABI3 and FUS3 positively regulate themselves and each other, thereby forming feedback loops essential for their sustained and uniform expression in the embryo. Finally, LEC1 also positively regulates ABI3 and FUS3

We propose design patterns as a new mechanism for expressing object-oriented design experience. Design patterns identify, name, and abstract common themes in objectoriented design. They capture the intent behind a design by identifying objects, their collaborations, and the distribution

cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), as well as secretion of the immune-suppressive cytokine transforming growth factor �. Strikingly, constitutive expression of CTLA-4 among CD4 � cells was restricted primarily to Treg cells, suggesting that CTLA-4 expression by these cells is involved

the abundance of 5-methylcytosine in Purkinje and granule cell nuclei, we detected the presence of an unusual DNA nucleotide. Using thin-layer chromatography, high-pressure liquid chromatography, andmass spectrometry, we identified the nucleotide as 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (hmdC). hmdC constitutes 0

In this paper we study data complexity of answering conjunctive queries over Description Logic knowledge bases constituted by an ABox and a TBox. In particular, we are interested in characterizing the FOL-reducibility and the polynomial tractability boundaries of conjunctive query answering

The unfolded protein response (UPR) controls the levels of molecular chaperones and enzymes involved in protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We recently isolated ATF6 as a candidate for mammalian UPR-specific transcription factor. We report here that ATF6 constitutively expressed as a
