7/8/2023 0 Comments Just In Case by Chrissie ManbyMy Thoughts: Just In Case is about Identical twins who share nothing in common except for their DNA. But as three days of literally having to walk in each other’s shoes unfold, will the sisters discover they should try to be more like each other after all? Both believe wearing the other’s clothes is going to ruin their chances: Clare’s of getting a promotion and Rosie’s of getting a snog. So both women are horrified when a luggage mix-up means that sensible Clare must attend a company conference with Rosie’s suitcase full of pink, frills and stripper heels, while flamboyant Rosie heads for a friend’s Italian destination wedding with Clare’s case full of suiting and sensible courts. Though they were born within three minutes of each other and spent their childhoods dressed in matching outfits, they’ve grown up to have less in common than Kim Kardashian and the Duchess of Cambridge. Description: Never were there two less similar identical twins than Clare and Rosie Marwood.

5-HT did not seem to affect either the mRNA level of the SERT or the protein transporter measured in either the membrane or the cell lysate. This inhibition was reversible and was not mediated by either the action of 5-HT2, 5-HT3 or 5-HT4 receptors, or by the intracellular second messengers, protein kinase C and cAMP. We measured serotonin transport, levels of mRNA expression and of the SERT protein after treating the cells with serotonin.Results: Serotonin treatment diminished hSERT activity in a concentration and period-dependent way by increasing the Kt value and reducing Vmax. These cells constitutively express the hSERT and have been shown to be an excellent model for the study of this protein. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of long-term serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) treatment on the human serotonin transporter (hSERT) function and its expression.Methods: This study was carried out in the enterocyte-like cell line Caco-2.

School Library JournalĮditors' Pick, HW Wilson Standard Catalog this sensitive story is about being different, feeling different, and finding acceptance.

New York Public Library's 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing 7/7/2023 0 Comments Nine fox gambitIt is a place where war is “a game between competing sets of rules, fueled by the coherence of our beliefs” and “calendrical rot” can destabilize entire tracts of terrain. The world of Ninefox Gambit is a perilous, conflict-riddled conglomeration of planets and factions, inhabited by the members of the ruling hexarcate and rebellious heretics. Bertrand Russell described it as “a beauty cold and austere, sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.” There have even been modern studies that posit that “beautiful” equations engage our brains the way paintings and music do. And Yoon Ha Lee’s stunning debut novel, Ninefox Gambit ( US/ UK) makes all of this real. Plato believed mathematics was the highest form of beauty, being entirely concerned with universal truths and untarnished by base desire.
