Novel Molecules from Environmental DNA-Derived Type II Polyketide Biosynthetic Gene Clusters
… drugs are in natural products (Newman and Cragg 2007). A significant proportion of natural product drugs and leads have been isolated from microbes (Newman and Cragg 2007). However, the discovery of novel natural products from microbes faces the growing hurdle of rediscovering known …

Efforts Toward Production of Novel Natural Products From Uncultured Soil Microbes
… of all antibiotic discoveries (Newman and Cragg). The discovery of novel natural product antibiotics, however, has witnessed a significant drop in numbers over this time period, suggesting that new sources of small molecules may be necessary to keep up with the need for new antibacterial …

Differential information, divergence of opinion, and security returns in an efficient market
… of investors' expectations of security returns (Cragg and Malkiel, 1982), few studies have attempted to relate this divergence of investor opinion directly to security returns. Barry and Brown (1984) argue that divergence of investor opinion results from differing levels of estimation risk across …

Enantiomeric separations by HPLC:temperature, mobile phase, flow rate and retention mechanism studies
The effects of changes in temperature, mobile phase composition, flow rate, and stationary phase upon the enantiomeric separation of several racemic mixtures are investigated. The changes in capacity factor (k'), selectivity (α), and efficiency (N) and enantiomeric resolution (R), are explored. …

Coherent decay of Bose-Einstein condensates
As the coldest form of matter known to exist, atomic Bose-Einstein condensates are unique forms of matter where the constituent atoms lose their individual identities, becoming absorbed into the cloud as a whole. Effectively, these gases become a single macroscopic object that inherits its …
