Proliferation and muddle
Article Abstract:
The deal on dismantling the nuclear warheads built by the former Soviet Union has run into trouble regarding the commercial price quoted for the enriched uranium between the US and Russia. The role of the US Enrichment Corporation which will handle the conversion of the uranium into commercial fuel and sell it to the private sector in US, has caused problems because, as a corporation, it can make more money reprocessing US uranium and is subject to anti-dumping trade laws. Meanwhile, Russia is contesting the price agreed on for the uranium despite US providers' belief it is too low.

A proliferation of programs
Article Abstract:
A review of scientific software programs intends to guide the user to be able to make a correct choice according to his requirements. The packages include a searchable chemical database, an Internet search engine, a virus protection software for networks, a bibliographic package, and chemometrics software. Synopsis' chemical spreadsheet, Accord, has enhanced features for executing better analytical tasks. Packages for optimizing chemical syntheses and three-dimensional molecular rendering are described. Softwares for statistical and graphical analyses are also reviewed.

Bmk1/Erk5 is required for cell proliferation induced by epidermal growth factor
Article Abstract:
Cell proliferation in certain cell types is induced by epidermal growth factor (EGF), by binding to a prototype transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor. EGF is shown to be a potent activator of big MAP kinase (Bmk1). EGF-mediated activation of Bmk1 occurs independently of Ras, requiring the MAP-kinase kinase Mek5. EGF-induced cell proliferation is blocked by expression of a dominant Bmk1.
