A fair-skinned redhead who teaches history at the University of Central Arkansas, Ms. Little had gone to a private dermatology practice in Heber Springs, Ark., to check some moles on her arms when the physician's assistant on duty noticed a whitish bump — like a "tiny fragment of thread" — on her face, she said.
The few remaining fragments of the original sewing thread were left in place.
In the threading studies, fragments of the ERev protein have been threaded against 13,391 representative structures in the structural template library, and the model structures were obtained from the top scoring members of the top five families using MODELLER [29], [30] (see Materials and Methods).
Pottery, bone objects, spindle-whorls (stone discs with a hole in the middle used in spinning thread) and fragments of Roman roofing tiles were found at Wivelrod House between Bentworth and the village of Beech.
He made small images in clay, and larger ones, cobbled together from stones and glass fragments and threads of things representing the weather, which the weather then disturbed.
The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans does not seem very complicated: in fact it looks like a fragment of white cotton thread, about a millimetre long, and almost completely transparent.
Some of these lessons – for instance, how to write with sophistication and clarity, or how to uncover and reassemble scattered fragments of information into a convincing narrative thread – are undeniably practical and rather concrete.
The designed sequences are then assessed by I-TASSER folding simulations, which generate full-length atomic structural models by the iterative assembly of threading fragments.
Each fragment of design is noteworthy: a delicate deer distracted by a butterfly, a skeletal winged elf nosing a trail of thread, a rabbit's antlers protruding behind its soft ears.
Leave about 10cm of thread.
