Postdoctoral Positions (Ph.D. in Bioengineering, Biophysics, or
similar):

Postdoctoral positions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and
microscopy are available in the Laboratory for Structural NMR Imaging
(LSNI) in the Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania
Medical Center, for a period of two years, with possible extension to a
third year.

Research in the host laboratory focuses on quantitative MRI methods and
NMR applied to tissue architecture and function.  Anticipated activities
involve microimaging, including pulse sequence design, construction of
cryogenic RF coils, methods for motion reduction, image processing and
mathematical modeling.  Projects in progress include the development and
applications of new methods for MR osteodensitometry, in vivo MR
microimaging and analysis of cancellous bone architecture and function,
in laboratory animals and patients.  Additional projects deal with the
development of methods for quantification atherosclerotic disease and
axonal microarchitecture in the spinal cord during injury and recovery
in animal models and humans. For more information on current research at
LSNI, visit http://www.rad.upenn.edu/lsni.

Some of the positions are supported by NIH Training Grants (T32 CA
74781: Training in Quantitative MRI, Felix W. Wehrli, P.I.; and T32 AR
07481: Research in Mineral and Skeletal Homeostasis, Peter J. Snyder,
P.I.). Eligible candidates for these positions need to have US
citizenship or permanent resident status.

The Department of Radiology's Center for Advanced MR Imaging and
Spectroscopy (CAMRIS) accommodates 1.5 and 4.0T GE Signa whole-body
scanners, a 50cm 4.7T small-bore animal imager, and a Bruker DMX 400MHz
microimaging system in the Children's Hospital on the University of
Pennsylvania Campus is available as well.

Preference will be given to candidates with hands-on experience in NMR
imaging research and pulse sequence programming.  Salary will be
commensurate with experience.  Interested candidates are encouraged to
submit their C.V. and two letters of recommendation to:

 Felix W. Wehrli, Ph.D.

PUZZLE NUMBER 19

The Diameter of Tetraplexes under AFM

Vesenka and colleagues have measured the strand height of DNA =
tetraplexes.
Their guanine-rich tetraplexes were found to have a strand height, i.e.,
diameter of 2.1 to 2.5nm (46).

Curiously enough, this is about the height which should be recorded for =
the
DNA double helix under AFM and STM, but no-one has ever found these =
values,
or anything approaching them, for duplex DNA.

It seems that this situation has caused Vesenka to reflect on the =
meaning of
the height measurements for duplex and tetraplex DNA (47).

Determined readers of these Puzzles will discern a different explanation
(48). Two of the true side-by-side DNA duplexes caught on STM by Lee et =
al.
(Puzzle 1, ref. 1, Figure 3b (duplex height =3D 1.3 nm)) are laid one =
upon the
other, front face to front face, et voila! we have a true side-by-side
tetraplex with a height around 2.5 nm., sketched in the website.

The implied pairing of base pairs into tetrads was described by Loewdin =
long
ago (49).

Equally important, and in full accord with the structure of Lee et al.,
using AFM, Vesenka's group reports "...no significant differences in =
duplex
and quadruplex DNA width." (50)

     Where can I find pamphlets, booklets or books that would be good to
describe various areas of science to High School students?  I am especialy
interested in these topics:

Chemistry;  Biochemistry;  Physics;  Biohphysics;  Biology;
Geology;  and various areas of Engineering


  Are there any professional or well reviewed websites which have good
materials available?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks,

Try the American Chemical Society (www.acs.org) they have a wide variety of
materials, including videos.

The American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (www.faseb.org)
used to put out a pamphlet on "careers in biochemistry" but I do not know if
it is still available.

Hope this helps,

I would like to know if there is any known correlation between enzymatic
activity and evolution; i.e. if the activity of a given enzyme (its
Kcat.)varies in the different organisms in a way that has something to
do with their
evolutionary distance.
 If the answer is yes, do you have any references on this subject?
 Please, reply (also) to my e-mail address, since I do not usually read
this newsgroup.
 Thanks a lot in advance,

I think that the activity of an enzyme depends on the enviromental and
somatic conditions usually encountered by the respective organism.
Thus, you'll find that the activities (at room temperature) of two
hyperthermophilic enzymes, one from a bacterium, the other from an
archaeum (archaebacterium) will be more similiar to each other than
that of the archaeum to an enzyme from a psychrophilic
("cold-o-philic") archaeum.

I thing that even the time it takes to separate two new species from
an ancestor is much longer than it takes for one particular enzyme of
these to develop an adaptation to the evolutionary pressure that it
experiences through environmental conditions. Not to speak of the time
to separate genera or phyla...

CALL FOR PAPERS

A 2001 Special Issue of Neural Networks

SPIKING NEURONS IN NEUROSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Most neurons of the brain communicate using trains of brief voltage
spikes that are capable of carrying complex temporal and rate codes
without degradation over large spatial distances. The rates, patterns
or oscillations of single spike trains as well as correlations and
synchrony across different spike trains, have been studied by many
investigators in both normal and clinically abnormal brain tissues. 
The Special Issue will incorporate invited and contributed articles 
that examine the importance of spiking in information processing, 
learning and memory. The Special Issue will cover biophysical and 
biochemical models of spike generation, neurophysiological and 
anatomical models that explore how spiking neurons influence behavior 
through their collective action in neural circuits and networks, as 
well as learning algorithms that are based on spikes. The computational
power of spiking neurons for reliable communication can also be 
incorporated into various technologies. The Special Issue will 
therefore also include articles that describe software and hardware 
applications that are based on this mode of neuronal communication to 
explore its potential for solving outstanding open problems in technology.

PUZZLE NUMBER 20

=20


The DNA Microprobe Experiment of Mou et al.




Mou et al. (Ref.51) measured the height of duplex DNA when densely =
packed on cationic lipid bilayers on a mica surface. They found the =
height to be about 2 nm (Figure 2c). This result reminds us of that of =
James & Mazia (Puzzle 20, Ref.53) who also measured the film height of =
duplex DNA under compression in 1953 and found a value of 2.1 - 2.2 nm.

Isolated duplexes, not under compression, using AFM & STM mostly have a =
maximum measured height of some 1.3 nm, or so, and this has led Muir et =
al. to suggest that "...duplex DNA may have an elliptical cross section =
when in contact with mica." (Puzzle 19, Ref. 50)

Wilkins and co-workers had suggested that DNA had an elliptical section =
in 1953 (Puzzle 5, Ref.13), and the two independent determinations of =
the major and minor diameters by James & Mazia, namely, 2.1 - 2.2 nm x =
1.2 nm, agree with this.=20

Even in very recent work (52, page 542) the apparent height of =
two-dimensional sheets of DNA is reported as 1.35 - 1.45 nm using AFM.

Consequently, the work of Wilkins et al., James & Mazia, Muir et al., =
and many others, would all suggest an elliptical cross section for dupex =
DNA of approximately 2.1 - 2.2 nm x 1.2 - 1.4 nm.

Philip Phillips (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
PHYSTALK/0002001

  Title:  2e or not 2e?
  In a series of recent experiments, Kravchenko and colleagues observed
unexpectedly that a two-dimensional electron gas in zero magnetic fields
can become conducting at low temperatures: the two-dimensionality was
imposed by confining the electron gas to the interface between two
semiconductors. The observation of this conducting phase is surprising,
as the conventional theory precludes the existences of a metallic state
at zero temperature in two dimensions. Nevertheless, there are now
several experiments confirming the existence of the new conducting phase
in dilute two-dimensional electron gases in zero magnetic field. Here we
argue, on the basis of an analysis of these experiments and general
theoretical grounds, that this phase is in fact a superconductor with an
inhomogeneous charge density.

Horacio G. Rotstein (Brandeis University)
MATHTALK/0002001
Title:  Interface dynamics for the Allen-Cahn equation with memory

 We consider an integrodifferential partial differential
 equation as a mathematical model for phase transition dynamics when
 memory effects are present. By taking appropriate kernels, this
 convolution equation can be reduced to both the Klein-Gordon
 equation and the bistable equation. By means of a formal asymptotic
 analysis we derive an equation governing the dynamics of a front, an
 interface separating between two phases ... TalkInfo: Department

Call for Papers



Recent advances in computer technology have provided the tools and the
environment to study, analyze, and better understand complex systems. This
technological development has enabled researchers to collect and analyze
massive amounts of data to a scale previously not possible. The impact of
this technology is now being felt in the medical field and in the biological
sciences.   In recent years, research in interdisciplinary areas such as
Bioinformatics and computer assisted medical decision-making has
dramatically intensified.  METMBS'2000 aims to provide a platform for
researchers to present and discuss recent breakthroughs in this area.

The METMBS'2000 Conference will be held concurrently (i.e., same location
and dates) with the International Conference on Parallel and Distributed
Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'2000), the International
Conference on Imaging Science, Systems, and Technology (CISST) and the
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IC-AI).

You are invited to submit a draft paper of about 4 pages and/or a proposal

MIcro pO2 probe for bio samples

Micro pO2 probe has 1 mm tip and can measure samples as small as 10
microliters of sample which is less than 1/10 the size of an average
drop of liquid. The electrode fits directly into 96 well plates,
microcentrifuge tubes, serum cups, capillary tubes, and NMR tubes.

A pO2 needle electrode is also available for direct insertion into
tissue samples.

The pO2 probe can be used directly with a chart recorder, pH meter, or
PC.

For further information press reply and ask for details.

       Recently I had ordered one argon (488nm) laser for Confocal
Microscope  (ZEISS
LSM310). The quotation which the local supplier (Taiwan) gave me  was
$USD24,000. I
don't know whether the price is rasonable or not. If anybody has some
comments or
information about the deal price of this lasr, give me a reply, please.
Thank a lot.

Hello,

    I am trying to find information concerning the suspension of
Bacteriorhodopsin in volume matrixes (i.e., gelatin) for storage
applications. Does anyone have any recommendations as to any resources
for such information detailing on the suspension material, and
procedure? Is there a better newsgroup for this posting?

Thanks,

Johnathan Leppert

PUZZLE NUMBER 21

The Classical Chemistry of Monolayers Applied to Duplex DNA

In 1953, James & Mazia (53) reported that 1 mg of dry calf thymus DNA could
be spread in a monolayer to cover 0.28 sq. m.  From this measurement, it is
immediately possible to calculate the diameter of the DNA as it lies across
the film surface.

Calf thymus DNA, with 40% C+G base pairs, has an average mass of 330 daltons
per base unit, and a base repeat distance of 0.334 nm, giving a helical
diameter, measured across the surface film, of 1.2 nm. (The full calculation
is available in (54)).

James & Mazia measured the film height as 2.16 nm using an ellipsometer. So
there are two independent determinations of the height and width of the
duplex DNA as 1.2 nm x 2.1 nm, that is, DNA would have an elliptical cross
section.

The DNA molecular width in the film of 1.2 nm, under compression, is close
to that of 1.3 nm found by Lee et al. (Puzzle 1, ref 1) using STM on
duplexes not under lateral compression, and to the value found by applying
Stokes' equation (Puzzle 2, ref. 4) to Franklin's B-DNA photograph.

Working under compression and using AFM, in 1995 Mou et al. (51) found the
film height to be about 2 nm, the same as James & Mazia, within experimental
error.

INTRODUCING THE MOST POWERFUL PROGRAM ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a few moments to review the following information.  IT MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

People are making a fortune on the internet and so can you!  How would you like the opportunity to possibly receive of $800,00 within the next 90 days?  This information will explain to you how to do this.  It's FAST, EASY & LEGAL!

>From a letter written by Mr. D.A. Dixon..........

Dear Friend,

My name is M.A. Dixon and I am an attorney.  About 2 years ago a man came to me with a letter similar to this one you are reading.  He asked me to verify the fact that this letter was legal and whether or not it could be used for solication of mailing lists.  When I first read it, I thought it was some off-the-wall idea. 

About 3 months later the same man called me saying that he had received over $800,000 in cash by sending out the letter to several hundred selected people, in order to get them to join a mailing list.  

At first, I didn't beleive him, so he asked me to try it out for myself.  I thought about it for a couple of days and decided that I really didn't have anything to lose.  I followed the instructions he gave me EXACTLY  and e-mailed out 200+ copies of this letter and placed free ads on the internet.  Sure enough the money started coming in!!!  It came slow at first, but after 3 weeks or so I was getting more mail than I could open in a day!!!!

I was earning pretty good money as a lawyer, but anyone in the legal profession will tell you, there is a lot of stress that comes with the job.  This opportunity really changed my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To participate in this unique mail listing program, simply follow the instructions below EXACTLY.  IT'S AS EASY AS 1-2-3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Immediately enclose $1 in 5 small envelopes for the 5 participants on the list below & $1 for our company VCBC HOLDINGS, LTD.  for administration and processing fees, along with a note saying "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST".  By doing so you have requested and paid for our mail listing services.  This is the key to the program that makes it legal.    Include your name & address -- then seal, stamp and address each envelope with the 5 participant's name & address.

HERE'S HOW THE PROGRAM CAN WORK:

Your name will move down in 5 positions, 1-5 at a 7.5% return rate, which is very conservative:

1) You send out 200 letters, 15 people send you $1,  you could get $15.
2) Those 15 people send out 200 letters each and 225 people send you $1, you could get $225.
3) Those 225 people send out 200 letters each and 3,375 people send you $1, you could get $3,375.
4) Those 3,375 people send out 200  letters each and 50,625 people send you $1, you could get $50,625.
5) Those 50,625 people send out 200 letters each and 759,375 people send you $1, you could get $759,375.

At this point in time, around 90 days or so, your name would drop off the list, but you could have received over $800,000.

Make sure you send us your email address.  If you don't have names or email addresses of people to correspond with we can sell you a list of 5,000 names for $5.00.  Enclose cash, check, or money order, payable to "VCBC" along with your request.  We can either send you a 3.5" floppy disk with the email names and/or download them to your email.  

DON'T DELAY!!!!!!!! JUMP START YOUR BANK ACCOUNT TODAY!!!!!!!  WHAT COULD BE MORE EASIER AND QUICK????????  

TAKE A CHANCE WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE OTHER THAN $5.  WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Call for Papers



Recent advances in computer technology have provided the tools and the
environment to study, analyze, and better understand complex systems. This
technological development has enabled researchers to collect and analyze
massive amounts of data to a scale previously not possible. The impact of
this technology is now being felt in the medical field and in the biological
sciences.   In recent years, research in interdisciplinary areas such as
Bioinformatics and computer assisted medical decision-making has
dramatically intensified.  METMBS'2000 aims to provide a platform for
researchers to present and discuss recent breakthroughs in this area.

The METMBS'2000 Conference will be held concurrently (i.e., same location
and dates) with the International Conference on Parallel and Distributed
Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'2000), the International
Conference on Imaging Science, Systems, and Technology (CISST) and the
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IC-AI).

You are invited to submit a draft paper of about 4 pages and/or a proposal
to organize a technical session (see below for submission information).  All
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

THE NAMES OF TECHNICAL SESSION CHAIRS WILL APPEAR AS ASSOCIATE EDITORS ON
THE COVER OF THE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS.
