Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

MYC on the Path to Cancer

Nuclear factor of κB (NF-κB) is a sequence-specific transcription factor that is known to be involved in the inflammatory and innate immune responses. Although the importance of NF-κB in immunity is undisputed, recent evidence indicates that NF-κB and the signalling pathways that are involved in its activation are also important for tumour development. NF-κB should therefore receive as much attention from cancer researchers as it has already from immunologists.

Quantifying telomere lengths of human individual chromosome arms by centromere-calibrated fluorescence in situ hybridisation and digital imaging

Nach 8 Jahren liegt nun eine Neufassung der 4. Ausgabe der WHO-Klassifikation lymphatischer Neoplasien vor. Sie beinhaltet sowohl eine konzeptionelle Neufassung bestehender Entitaten wie auch – wenige – provisorische neue Entitaten bzw. Kategorien, vor allem unter den aggressiven B‑Zell-Lymphomen. Hier sind vor allem das High-grade-B-Zell-Lymphom, das groszellige B‑Zell-Lymphom mit IRF4-Translokation und das Burkitt-ahnliche Lymphom mit Aberrationen in 11q zu nennen. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind auch neuere Konzepte zur Taxonomie und Klassifikation fruher lymphatischer Lasionen bzw. moglicher Vorstufen, wie die in-situ follikulare Neoplasie und die in-situ Mantelzellneoplasie, die Beschreibung indolenter Lymphoproliferationen wie das Brustimplantat-assoziierte anaplastische groszellige Lymphom und die indolente T‑Zell-Lymphoproliferation des Gastrointestinaltrakts sowie generell die Scharfung diagnostischer Kriterien bestehender Entitaten.

Revidierte Fassung der 4. Ausgabe der WHO-Klassifikation maligner Lymphome

In the last several years new experimental data have become available on alpha-decay chains starting in the predicted deformed superheavy region near ${}^{272}110.$ This has promoted new interest in nuclear mass formulas and how well they extrapolate to regions far beyond where experimental masses were previously known. We here focus on two such mass models, namely the fermion dynamical symmetry model and the finite-range droplet model. We have chosen these models since they both reproduce previously known actinide masses with good accuracy, but rapidly diverge from each other in the region of the recently observed new elements. Furthermore, the two models have been the subject of animated discussions concerning which one gives the most reliable predictions of nuclear masses in the superheavy region and in the terminating region of the r process. The new data support the predictions of the finite-range droplet model. We discuss the fermion dynamical symmetry model and its application [Han et al., Phys. Rev. C 45, 1127 (1992)] to the calculation of trans-Pb nuclear masses. As will be shown, the model contains unphysical features and has many more free constants than claimed. The values obtained for the constants and the model agreement with data in the region of adjustment are therefore of no particular significance and severe divergences occur for recently discovered nuclei outside the region of adjustment.

Why the fermion dynamical symmetry model fails to predict nuclear masses: A comprehensive assessment

A total of 24 new ..beta..-delayed proton precursors and several new decay branches in the region of 56 < Z < 72 and N < 82 have been identified with the OASIS on-line mass separator facility at the SuperHILAC in Berkeley. Proton spectra and halflives were measured for all precursors. Additional properties determined for many of the isotopes include spins and parities of the precursors, final state feedings, proton branching ratios, (Q/sub EC/-S/sub p/) energy differences, and new levels in the proton decay daughters. Mixed ..beta..-delayed proton decay from precursor isomers and ground states has been observed. The proton decay has been compared to statistical model calculations using Gamow-Teller (GT) ..beta..-strength functions obtained from RPA calculations with Nilsson model wave functions. For the N = 81 precursors /sup 151/Yb, /sup 149/Er, and /sup 147/Dy, pronounced structure in the proton spectra has been observed. An interpretation of this structure in the framework of ''doorway'' states is proposed. 25 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
