Another perplexingly mundane pastime of the unwired study is solitaire — Bill Clinton's tray-table indulgence and the chief diversion of John Pierpont Morgan, the robber baron who ignored the rare volumes and priceless prints in his exquisite Manhattan private library in favor of hand after hand of solo card games.
The library's exquisite centrepiece is the oval Rococo hall, embellished with gilt and stucco.
The maze is by Li Xiaodong, a Chinese architect, whose exquisite timber and glass library veiled in a screen of the sticks local villagers collect for firewood in and around Huairou, some two hours drive from Beijing, has drawn visitors around the world since it was opened in 2011.
The exquisite silence and freedom afforded by public libraries offer a vital civic and cultural role that will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace once it is lost.
The 30 nt fragmentation and RNA-ligase-based library preparation method employed here affords exquisite strand specificity by minimizing artifacts associated with random priming during reverse transcription.
This loop region can be engineered via site-directed random mutagenesis in combination with genetic library selection techniques to yield "Anticalins" with exquisite specificities and down to picomolar affinities for prescribed molecular targets of either hapten or antigen type.
Finish your tour at the Beverly Hills Civic Center (at Rexford Drive), home of the exquisite Spanish Renaissance-style City Hall, built in 1932, and the public library.
