An extensive analysis of some 20 papers on x-ray diffraction from nucleic acid fibres which all show these patterns of systematic absence has been set out (Puzzle #1, Ref. 2, Chapter 7). Exactly the same patterns of systematic absence, sometimes to be taken with systematically weak presences, have been reported in many studies of x-ray diffraction from true crystals of oligonucleotides. For example, the fragment d(CCGGCGCCGG) has been reported to crystallise in the rhombohedral space group R3 (Ref 14, Brookhaven file 1CGC). Inspection of the structure factor file shows that systematic absences follow the pattern (-h+k)=/=3n for l=3n, and (-h+k)=3n when l=/=3n. This pattern allows the selection of a unit cell whose side has been reduced from 5.407 nm, originally selected, to 5.407 nm / root 3. Exactly the same patterns of systematic absence arise from diffraction from crystals of d(ACCGGCGCCACA) (Ref 15) also found in space group R3. The fragment d(CGCG) crystallises in space group P6(1)22 and was assigned a=b=3.08 nm (Ref 16). However, the pattern of systematic absences plus systematically weak presences shows a reduced value of a=b=1.78 nm to conform with the structure factor file (Ref 16, page 538). Reduced unit cells can be chosen from other space groups. For example, in a study of GpC crystals in space group P2(1), with a=2.1224 nm and b=3.4207 nm, the pattern of systematic absences plus systematically weak presences allows the halving of side b (Ref 17). Of course there are studies of diffraction from nucleic acid fibres and oligonucleotide crystals where these patterns of systematic absence and systematically weak presences are not very evident. However, this can be explained by the growing complexity of the fragments inducing bends in the sequence, by greater departures from symmetry, or perhaps by more powerful x-ray sources generating many more reflections which may obscure the patterns, etc. Complexity in the Sciences is usually developed from earlier, simpler models and studies, and this is true also in oligonucleotide crystallography. This should have been pursued using the smallest unit cells consonant with the observed patterns within the structure factors, and not by having to fit a pre-conceived model (the double helix) into the unit cell irrespective of the alternatives which the actual experimental structure factors indicated. At present, oligonucleotide crystallographers adopt very widely a range of practices which can compromise the outcomes of their work. For example, research groups variously over time have adopted starting coordinates for their structures which are explicitly taken from earlier studies, themselves derived from fibre studies which are under scrutiny in these Puzzles. Or they adopt unit cell dimensions consistent with previous work which also lead back to fibre studies under scrutiny in these Puzzles. Or they adopt structure refinement algorithms (Ref 18) which, taken with their choice of (large) unit cell dimensions, are programmed in such a way that they are guaranteed to lead to double helical outcomes. The choice of unit cell dimensions determines the scales on the axes of the resulting Pattersons, Patterson difference maps, Harker sections and electron density maps. It will not matter whether heavy atoms, MAD, synchrotron sources, or whatever, were used in later work if the choice of unit cell dimensions, derived from earlier studies where alternative possibilities had been overlooked, had thereby been rendered insecure in later studies. This is how the entire Brookhaven nucleic acid data base has become compromised. We should perhaps remind ourselves that we are unable to look to NMR for support for the double helical structure of duplex DNA because the NMR calibrations upon which distance measurements are based assume that the double helix is the struicture of duplex DNA. This is why "spin diffusion" is invoked so often in NMR work on oligonucleotides in order to explain unexpectedly high signals. The structure recorded by Lee et al. (Puzzle 1) is more compact than the double helix and certain protons really are much closer together than the double helical model for duplex DNA predicts. In summary, Puzzle #6 is this: If structure factor files are deconvoluted with an unbiassed program such as SHELX using the smallest unit cells consistent with the reported patterns of systematic absence and systematically weak presences, will valid, alternative duplex DNA structures consonant with the reduced cross-section of the diagram in Puzzle 1 then be found ? ----------------------------------------------------- 14 Double helix conformation, groove dimensions and ligand binding potential of a G/C stretch in B-DNA; Udo Heinemann et al.; The EMBO J., Vol 11 (1992) 1931 - 1939 15 Unusual helical packing in crystals of DNA bearing a mutation hot spot; Y.

Sharp's success is at the bottom of an article sent to me by Judy Wall, Editor, RESONANCE, the newsletter of the MENSA Bio- electromagnetic special interest group. The article itself is titled: MICROWAVES AND BEHAVIOR [Dr.] Don R. Justesen Laboratories of Experimental Neuropsychology, Veterans Administration Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri American Psychologist, March 1975, pg 391-401 "This article is based on materials presented in a seminar to the faculties of Psychology and Engineering at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City, Utah) on Augst 21, 1974. The author's research program is supported by the Veterans Administration and by U.S. Public Health Service Grant FD00650. "Acknowledged in the preparation of the manuscript are E. L. Wilke and C. L. Sheridan, for a critical reading; KAy Wahl for artwork; and Lynn Bruetsch and Virginia Florez for typing. I also thank John Osepchuk of the Raytheon Corporation for his searching criticism of the manuscript; our opinions differ, his advice is appreciated. "Requests for reprints should be sent to Don. R. Justesen, Laboratories of Experimental Neuropsychology, Veterans Administration Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri 64128. "The author is also at the Department of Psychiatry, Kansas University Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas 66103." **Dr. Joseph C. Sharp at the time of this success was working for Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, geographic location unknown. **Here is the brief reference to voice to skull in this article itself: "Sharp and Grove (Note 2) found that appropriate modulation of microwave energy can result in direct "wireless" and "receiverless" communication of SPEECH." [Emphasis mine] **Here is "Note 2": "Sharp, J. C., & Grove, M. Personal communication, Sept. 28, 1973" [By "personal communication", both Judy Wall and I interpret that to mean "conversation", i.e. nothing in writing] **Here is one sentence from the NASA statement of voice to skull success, posted at: http://home.nas.net/~raven1/v2s-nasa.htm "...by proper choice of pulse characteristics, INTELLIGIBLE SPEECH MAY BE CREATED" ** Here are two sentences from two abstracts describing an "SBIR" (small business research project) awarded to Brian Kohn at Science and Engineering Associates, which has more than one branch: http://home.nas.net/~raven1/v2s-kohn.htm "The feasibility of the concept HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED..." "The study found that voice communications, via the microwave auditory effect, ARE HIGHLY FEASIBLE." So what we need folks, is irrefutable documentation of the Joseph Sharp success, AND/OR, the background of the SBIR projects awarded to Science and Engineering Associates, PROVIDED THE SEA DOCUMENTATION PROVES IRREFUTABLY THAT MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION OF WORDS IS AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT.

Did you know that you can now lose 2 to 14 inches of fat in ONE HOUR, PERMANENTLY and SAFELY, in the privacy and comfort of your own home -- for UNDER $20 ?! I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true!! With an ALL-NATURAL, SPECIALLY FORMULATED, herbal and mineral body wrap, you can PERMANENTLY and SAFELY lose 2 to 14 inches of fat in ONE HOUR! I did -- and so can YOU! Still skeptical? Just listen to these testimonials from REAL people who have used our specially formulated body wraps: "I was skeptical -- lose INCHES of fat in one hour?! Well, let me tell you . . . my first body wrap, I lost 5 inches, and my second wrap I lost 5-3/4 inches. But most exciting was my 3rd wrap when I lost 12-3/4 inches in just ONE hour! Forget skepticism -- this is the EASIEST time I've EVER had losing weight!" -- Holly Cotter, MD "I do a lot of body wraps on a lot of people. I see a lot of different results. One thing is for sure -- they ALL lose inches, and the inches stay off! On average, with the body wraps I do, they lose between 7 and 11 inches with the first wrap, another 5 to11 inches with the second, 3 to 9 inches with the third, and another 3 to 9 inches with the fourth wrap. The inches ALWAYS stay off, and they never go back to the size they were in the beginning. I'm also finding that it helps people with aches and pains. It is very soothing, especially for people with arthritis and fibromyalgia." --Tracey Long, PA "I lost 11 1/2 inches after my very first body wrap. After my second and third wraps, I lost over 18 inches more. Then following my last body wrap, I lost an additional 16 inches. In one month, I lost 45 inches! Furthermore, I have more energy than ever, and I feel so much healthier!" --Sherrie Lopez, CA "I just did my first body wrap a few days ago and it was fantastic! I lost 5 inches in just 1 hour! After completing the wrap, I had the best night's sleep I had had in a long time and I woke up very refreshed & energized. My body feels tighter & "lighter" now too. I can't wait to see the results after 3 more wraps over the next 3 weeks!" --Suzy Cole, OR "My very first wrap I lost a total of 5 1/2 inches from my waist down. My legs felt smoother and more toned. I did another wrap about 10 days later and I lost an additional 4 inches. The inches have stayed off. My husband has even noticed the results. Now I am ready for my summer vacation to the beach. I totally recommend Life Force's Herbal Body Wrap to anyone who wants to lose inches and feel great." --Stacy Russell, TX What are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose except fat!!

The size of body is comparable to wavelength so it can be eventually resonating a little. As a result an angle distribution of radiated power get distorted. In some directions intensity can be eventually enhansed increasing the range of control. The other angular directions will receive power smaller then original. Of course total power of emited radiowaves getting smaller because of additional losses in the body. The metallic sheet or metallised Mailar will demonstrate much more profound effects.

Request reprint: A.van.Ooyen@nih.knaw.nl Or download from http://www.cns.ed.ac.uk/people/arjen/papers/bundle_abstract.html ABSTRACT Diffusible chemoattractants and chemorepellants, together with contact attraction and repulsion, have been implicated in the establishment of connections between neurons and their targets. Here we study how such diffusible and contact signals can be involved in the whole sequence of events from bundling of axons, guidance of axon bundles towards their targets, to debundling and the final innervation of individual targets. By means of computer simulations, we investigate the strengths and weaknesses of a number of particular mechanisms that have been proposed for these processes. -- Arjen van Ooyen, Netherlands Institute for Brain Research, Meibergdreef 33, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands. email: A.van.Ooyen@nih.knaw.nl website: http://www.cns.ed.ac.uk/people/arjen.html phone: +31.20.5665483 fax: +31.20.6961006 From owner-biophys@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Thu Nov 11 17:05:24 1999 Return-Path: Delivered-To: biophys-archive@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id 4708717B28; Thu, 11 Nov 1999 17:05:23 +0000 (GMT) Received: from niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (niobium [193.62.192.41]) by hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA23348; Thu, 11 Nov 1999 17:05:15 GMT Received: (from news@localhost) by niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.8.8) id RAA24451; Thu, 11 Nov 1999 17:05:14 GMT X-Authentication-Warning: niobium.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk: news set sender to using -f From: howardcurt@hotmail.com X-Newsgroups: bionet.biophysics,bionet.microbiology,sci.bio.microbiology,bionet.cellbiol Subject: 100 Most Important Science Books Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 16:45:19 GMT Organization: no organization Lines: 369 Message-ID: <80erqu$13k$1@nnrp1.deja.com> X-Article-Creation-Date: Thu Nov 11 16:45:19 1999 GMT X-Http-User-Agent: Mozilla/4.03 [en] (Win95; I) X-Http-Proxy: 1.0 x42.deja.com:80 (Squid/1.1.22) for client 146.203.100.194 X-MyDeja-Info: XMYDJUIDcthoward6397 To: biophys@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk, cellbiol@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk, microbio@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Sender: owner-biophys@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk I found a list of the 100 Most Important Science Books of the 2nd Millennium somewhere on the Internet.

PUZZLE NUMBER 7   The Unwinding Problem = Inside=20 Fibres
 
 
Leslie et al. (19) reported that a fibre of = poly(dI).poly(dC),=20 in the absence of unwinding proteins, which gave sharp X-ray diffraction = spots=20 shortly after being drawn, was unstable and transformed irreversibly = after a few=20 days into poly(dC).poly(dI).poly(dC+). This new, three-stranded molecule = also=20 gave sharp spots in its own X-ray diffraction pattern which did not have = any of=20 the original spots.
 
Therefore the conversion was complete. Very similar = results=20 had been reported for fibres of poly(dA).poly(dT) converting to=20 poly(dT).poly(dA).poly(dT) (20) and for the formation of = poly(U).poly(A).poly(U)=20 from poly(U).poly(A) (21).
 
The problem is evident: How and where would the = torque arise,=20 and be sustained, inside a solid fibre that would permit one double = helix to=20 rotate so as to unwind one strand and rewind it onto an adjacent triple = helix=20 having a different diameter and rotating at a different angular = velocity, the=20 conversion clearly being complete ?
 
Inside the fibre, individual molecules would have a = random=20 axial translation so only very rarely would two adjacent double helices = have the=20 same axial starting point down the fibre, and they would be unlikely to = be=20 perfectly straight inside the fibre but would probably be entwined = around=20 neighbours.
 
A true side-by-side duplex DNA structure (see = website Puzzle=20 #1) could form a side-by-side triplex, without any unwinding, by the = linear=20 transfer of a strand across to a neighbouring duplex.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- All BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- the UK-HGMP-Resource Centre (known as hgmp.mrc.ac.uk): ----------------------------------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to majordomo@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Please ask for help at biosci@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

I have found a FREE reporting mechanism at http://spamcop.net/ I stumbled upon it by accident. It will make all the necessary reports to network administrators concerning spam email and newsgrou postings. It is able to get through phony email addresses by reading the headers. It takes me less than a minute to do this and I have received responses from the administrators with news that the person had been dealt with. It's just a thought. If spamming doesn't bother you, then I am sorry to have bugged you. Chad --------------------------------- Visit the site NOW ! Thank you for your attention.
