Tetracyclic /3-carboline alkaloids, known as canthines, have a peri-fused indolo[3,2,Tnaphthyridine structure. Over 40 members of this class of compound have been isolated, and they are of interest on account of their broad range of pharmacological effects (antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antibacterial, anticancer). 

This argument of the usurpation is packed with dynamite, because it suggests that the events alleged to have taken place in crematorium I, events described by eyewitnesses Rudolf HoB, Pery Broad and a few others actually never took place at this location. But this undermines the credibility of all other eyewitnesses from the very outset, including those from Birkenau. We wonder if the authors are aware of this ... 

The diversity of pore sizes coupled with the essentially cation-free framework make AlPOi, molecular sieves potentially applicable in separations of molecules and other adsorption applications. A broad screening program in air drying has shown many AlPOi, molecular sieves with performance characteristics similar to those of Linde Type A and X. The hydrophilic surface character has also been demonstrated in the selective removal of Hz0 from solutions of 2-butanone containing 4 vol.% HzO. The hydroxyl infrared region (4000-3400 cm-1) for several AlPO molecular sieves contains weak VqH absorptions at 3680 cm- attributed by Peri (14)... 

In his new book Pressac states that temporary ventilation facilities were installed in the mortuary of crematorium I in March 1941, that these were never replaced with permanent fixtures, and that it is not known how they worked.47 To support this claim Pressac cites Pery Broad,48 whose statements Pressac had dismissed as implausible in his first book49 and which, furthermore, tell of a ventilator installed in a concrete chimney. But just as the Zyklon B input hatches, this ventilator would have had to leave detectable traces in the ceiling. It is also possible, however, that the ventilation pipe was laid through breaches in the walls, into the oven room and on from there, for example to the chimney. But since the dividing wall between the oven room and the mortuary were extensively rebuilt when the facilities were altered to serve as air-raid shelter, no traces remain to be found today. 

Later eyewitnesses are so vague and contradictory that we can skip them for the present. It is highly revealing that the long-time director of the Majdanek Memorial, Jozef Marszalek, only mentions gassings in two lines in his official history of the camp. In fact, he could think of nothing better to say about the gassing procedures at Majdanek than to quote the eyewitness account of SS man Pery Broad at Auschwitz ... 

In this review we describe the basic principles and application potential of crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (S-layers), a self-assembly system optimized through time, selection, and evolution as a unique nanostructure [3-6]. S-layers are fascinating model systems for studying the dynamic process of assembly of a biological supramolecular structure [7]. The broad application potential of S-layers is based on the specific intrinsic features of the monomolecular arrays composed of identical protein or glycoprotein subunits. Since S-layers are peri-...
