...innovative computer program to answer the ongoing puzzle of how proteins fold inside cells, a breakthrough that could improve understanding of degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Eugene I. Shakhnovich and his collaborators, graduate students Eric J. Deeds and Isaac A. Hubner, outline their findings in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The computer model simulates the lightning-quick process of microscopic protein folding for up to 10 microseconds, or 1,000 times longer than ever before. “Through a series of dynamic steps...
...macho attitude associating speed with virility. Such changes in culture and mindset, some experts say, will come only with imposed discipline over the long run. "Apart from a total alcohol ban, France doesn't need new laws, regulations or devices - rather, better enforcement of existing laws," says Wolfgang Hubner, director of the o.e.c.d.'s transport division in Paris. "The U.K., with roughly the same population as France, has decreased fatalities through tighter enforcement - which over time also produced a more generalized respect of road laws." Auto deaths per million last year were 57.6 in Britain, 84.9 in Germany...
Gdynia's success comes at a time of oversupply in the shipping industry worldwide and hard times generally in Eastern Europe's fledgling market economies. Wolfgang Hubner, head of the transport division at the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), called the Gdynia yard's resurrection "astonishing. Everyone is pleasantly surprised--except its competitors...
...generals were dismissed on the eve of unification," says Werner Hubner, a former major general in the National People's Army. He worries about making ends meet because of a new law that will rule out higher pensions for those who, like Hubner, had special status under the old regime. "This is unjust," he says bitterly. "Since I paid in higher than average contributions, I feel robbed of my life's savings." Not that Hubner can be accused of living in splendor. "I live on the fourth floor in a three-room apartment with oven heating. I carry the coal...
...unification also means new life and light, a cornucopia of opportunity, freedom and the little courtesies available wherever the customer is king. "They're so nice," chortled housewife Gerda Hubner as she walked out of a brand new Meyer food market on East Berlin's Leipziger Strasse. She carried a shopping bag with a few meager purchases -- milk, oranges, bread and cheese. She also carried a yellow rosebud. "They're giving these to all the ladies," she said. "They really want our business." The Meyer chain is one of hundreds of West German companies that have moved with lightning speed...
