The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Perception of Weight and Elasticity [PDF]

Nature, 1937
IN experiments on the perception of elasticity, we have found that individuals equate a pull on an expanding elastic spring with a much lighter lifted weight impression. Lifting a weight of 2.50 kilograms (for which the psycho-physical limen is of the order 0.10 kilogram) was matched by one person with a pull as large as 6.50 kilograms (probable error ...
