I recognize the name "Gassner". He might have been my immediate supervisor. I don't remember whether Jardetsky's name was mentionned once or twice, or even whether I met him once or twice. "King" is such a common name, with more recent memories (Rodney King's beating, Martin Luther King's legacy) that I don't remember that name at all in connection with my NMR work. We had no e-mail, so I never saw any of those names in e-mail headers or mentionned in memos etc. That work occurred over a mere nine-month period, 28-29 years ago, so you can understand how I can't be really sure of names that I never was able to learn in the first place due to my learning disability. > A formalism based on the theory of Markov processes and suitable for the > analysis of multiple internal motions in macromolecules is presented. > Computer calculations of specific motional models for (13)C nuclear > magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation, treated as special cases of the > proposed formalism, demonstrate the potential of this approach for > discriminating between different motional models on the basis of NMR > relaxation data. *my* computer calculations, based on formulas from a published paper. Indeed that's exactly what we were working on and my software aided. So this sounds indeed like a correct search result. Thank you very much! Did you find the citation in some public index, or only in some commercial index where you have to register or somesuch to use it? Google doesn't have even one match for title keys and first author. On the other hand, if I search for just 3 terms: Magnetic relaxation Gassner up come matches which contain the other terms Google said it couldn't find!! I think the Google search engine is broken!! Ayway, these good results: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=708816&dopt=Abstract Biophys J. 1978 Oct;24(1):103-17 http://www.biophysj.org/cgi/content/abstract/24/1/103 Biophysical Journal, Vol 24, 103-117 And this result which looks good from the Google end: Linkname: THEORY AND PRACTICE OF NUCLEAR SPIN RELAXATION IN PROTEINS URL: http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.phy schem.47.1.243 but when I try to go there it refuses to let me see the article: An Error Occurred Setting Your User Cookie I don't want to accept your fucking poison cookies just to view some Web content! Cookies are for setting up sessions that persist through multiple HTTP cycles/transactions, which is nothing I intend to do here, or for spying on users to enable commercial advertisements via spam and other unethical methods, and to commit identity theft, which I vehemently object to!! So anyway, thanks to you, I now have two different formats of the citation, and I don't know which is the "standard" format that somebodh else in this thread said I should include in my resume to prove I'm not lying about having this paper published. (One other person actually called me a liar, not using that particular word, but he said flat out that he believes I'm not telling the truth that anything from my work was ever published in a respected journal. But of course he'll claim that he never heard of the "Biophysical Journal" so it must not be any respected journal.) > Although this does not mention Jardetsky, it is referenced in a paper, > http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/clore/Pub/pdf/60.pdf, as: > King, R., Maas, R., Gassner, M., Nauda, RX., > Conover, W.W. and Jardetzky, 0.

I downloaded it to my shell account temporarily, just to see how big it was: 704 -rw------- 1 rem user 701519 Aug 28 13:58 60.pdf Let me convert to uuencode: 960 -rw------- 1 rem user 966563 Aug 28 13:59 60.uu and then just start Kermit to get an idea how long it'd take to download... after a half minute it's downloaded 14k bytes, so that's 28k per minute, so it'd take about 34-35 minutes to download. > Only the abstract is available on-line. Does it look familiar to you? No, just the subject matter, not the abstract itself. (I never saw the article or abstract, just the part I contributed to the one article regarding my software.) > The full article should be available at any good scientific library, in > the 1978 volume of Biophysical Journal. I don't have access to any such library, unless the San Jose public library would have it (the new Martin Luther King library on campus of San Jose State University). I suffer motion sickness riding the bus all the way to San Jose, so I don't go there often, and when I do go there it's to go somewhere else where I'm busy until 5PM or 7:30 PM, and the library closes at 6PM so there's no time to sign up for an InterNet terminal to find your reference then try to find the journal. If I have any time during my one hour on InterNet terminal at Sunnyvale public library, I'll check whether that PDF is viewable there. Does anybody know of a free program that does OCR on PDF files and keeps track of layout so as to convert to reasonable HTML or plain ASCII? Or if I wrote such a program myself would anyone think it was a good thing and pay me money for all that effort? Or am I the only person who thinks that converting a megabyte PDF file to a 30K text file would be a useful utility? .
