1. COUNTING ALTERNATING SIGN MATRICES / CONTANDO MATRIZES DE SINAIS ALTERNADOS
Durante vinte anos, ficou em aberto uma conjectura de Mills, Robbins e Rumsey para a contagem de Alternating Sign Matrices (Matrizes de Sinais Alternados). Zeilberger demonstrou a validade das fórmulas em meados da década de 90. Esse texto apresenta outra demonstração, atribuída a Kuperberg, que emprega técnicas de física estatística (Gelo Quadrado).

2. Norwalk virus-associated gastroenteritis traced to ice consumption aboard a cruise ship in Hawaii: comparison and application of molecular method-based assays.
Investigation of an outbreak of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis on a cruise ship provided an opportunity to assess new molecular method-based diagnostic methods for Norwalk virus (NV) and the antibody response to NV infection. The outbreak began within 36 h of embarkation and affected 30% of 672 passengers and crew. No single meal, seating, or food item w

3. Vibrational neutron spectroscopy of collagen and model polypeptides.
A pulsed source neutron spectrometer has been used to measure vibrational spectra (20-4000 cm-1) of dry and hydrated type I collagen fibers, and of two model polypeptides, polyproline II and (prolyl-prolyl-glycine)10, at temperatures of 30 and 120 K. the collagen spectra provide the first high resolution neutron views of the proton-dominated modes of a prote

4. Liquid crystal domains and thixotropy of filamentous actin suspensions.
The thixotropic properties of filamentous actin suspensions were examined by a step-function shearing protocol. Samples of purified filamentous actin were sheared at 0.2 sec-1 in a cone and plate rheometer. We noted a sharp stress overshoot upon the initiation of shear, indicative of a gel state, and a nearly instantaneous drop to zero stress upon cessation

5. Sensitivity, Specificity, and Predictive Values of Three Salmonella Rapid Detection Kits Using Fresh and Frozen Poultry Environmental Samples versus Those of Standard Plating
To reduce human exposure to Salmonella spp. in poultry products, broiler chicken flocks have been tested by culture methods. Since the standard techniques may take 3 to 5 days, rapid detection methods have been developed. In this study we tested the performance of three rapid tests originally developed for food samples by using environmental samples obtained

6. Electrotransformation of Clostridium thermocellum
Electrotransformation of several strains of Clostridium thermocellum was achieved using plasmid pIKm1 with selection based on resistance to erythromycin and lincomycin. A custom-built pulse generator was used to apply a square 10-ms pulse to an electrotransformation cuvette consisting of a modified centrifuge tube. Transformation was verified by recovery of
