1. Technical Field
The present invention relates in general to the field of computer system security and in particular to a method and system for validating access to a computer system by a selected user. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to a method and system for validating access to a computer system by a selected user in an unobtrusive manner.
2. Description of the Related Art
Computer system security schemes are well known in the prior art. The most common security system employed typically utilizes a so-called "password" system which associates a specific alphanumeric character string with a particular user. Upon an attempted access of a computer system or a selected application by that user, a "password screen" is typically displayed and the user must thereafter enter the correct alphanumeric character string in order to validate his or her access.
Password systems are widely utilized in low security systems; however, they are not often utilized in more demanding situations. The display of a password screen is an indication to an unauthorized user that the entry of a password is required for entry to the system. So-called computer "hackers" have employed many different schemes to determine the proper alphanumeric character string necessary to obtain access to a password protected computer system. Obtaining physical copies of a password from the vicinity of the computer terminal or utilizing computer applications which rapidly try all possible combinations of alphanumeric character strings are but two techniques utilized by such people.
More sophisticated computer security systems utilize unique physical characteristics such as fingerprints, retina patterns or voice pattern recognizers to ensure that computer system access is restricted to selected users. Still more stringent systems utilize physical security and limit physical access to computer terminals by utilizing guards or other security systems. Such systems provide a great deal more security; however, the cost associated with the required hardware devices is quite considerable.
It should therefore be apparent that a need exists for a computer access validation system which permits user access to be selectively controlled in an unobtrusive manner while providing a level of security similar to that provided by password systems.

Longitudinal coherence of organic-based microcavity lasers.
We report on the measurement of the longitudinal coherence of organic microcavity lasers based on a conjugated polymer. By using a modified Michelson interferometer configuration enabling single-shot measurements of the coherence length, the transition from spontaneous emission to lasing is investigated. The measured coherence length grows upon increasing the pumping fluence, saturating around 45 microm above threshold. At large fluences, possible thermal and photo-oxidation processes occurring in the gain medium limit the further increase of the coherence length. Our results are important for understanding lasing emission in organic microcavities and optimizing the device design and performances.

Lesson: Understanding Coherence Length in Lasers

**Introduction**

Lasers are devices that emit light through a process called stimulated emission. They have many applications in fields such as communication, medicine, and entertainment. One important parameter that characterizes a laser is its coherence length, which measures how long the emitted light waves remain in phase with each other. In this lesson, we will learn about coherence length and how it relates to organic-based microcavity lasers.

**Main Topics**

1. What is coherence length?
2. How is coherence length measured?
3. What factors affect coherence length in organic-based microcavity lasers?
4. Why is coherence length important?
5. How can we optimize coherence length in organic-based microcavity lasers?

**Theoretical Concepts**

1. Stimulated emission
2. Phase coherence
3. Interference
4. Gain medium
5. Pumping fluence
6. Thermal effects
7. Photo-oxidation
8. Michelson interferometer
9. Single-shot measurements

**Practical Examples**

1. Consider an organic-based microcavity laser that emits red light at a wavelength of 650 nm. The cavity length is 200 microm and the refractive index of the organic material is 1.6. Calculate the critical coupling condition for this laser.

2. Suppose the pumping fluence of the organic-based microcavity laser is increased from 0 to 100 MW/cm². Plot the measured coherence length as a function of pumping fluence.

**Self-Debating Discussions**

1. How does the choice of organic material affect the coherence length of the microcavity laser?
2. Can we increase the coherence length of organic-based microcavity lasers by using a different cavity design?
3. Are there any alternative materials to organic materials that can be used to create microcavity lasers with longer coherence lengths?

**Glossary**

- Coherence length: The distance over which the phase coherence of light waves persists.
- Gain medium: A material that amplifies the intensity of light waves through a process called stimulated emission.
- Pumping fluence: The intensity of light used to excite the gain medium in a laser.
- Photo-oxidation: A chemical reaction that occurs when organic materials are exposed to light.
- Michelson interferometer: An optical device that measures the path difference between two light waves.

**Conclusion**

Understanding the coherence length of organic-based microcavity lasers is crucial for optimizing their performance and design. By measuring the coherence length using a modified Michelson interferometer, we can investigate the transition from spontaneous emission to lasing. Factors such as pumping fluence, thermal effects, and photo-oxidation can affect the coherence length. By optimizing these factors, we can increase the coherence length and improve the overall performance of the laser. This knowledge can be applied to other types of lasers and can lead to advancements in technology and science.

Since I've recently been lamenting the staleness of my music collection, I listened to samples of the first five tracks of The Complex on Amazon, was thoroughly interested, and stopped by Best Buy on the way home from work yesterday. (The Apple Music Store was my first choice, but they don't stock Blue Men.) I came away with Audio, Blue Man Group's first CD, and it's awesome. It's like Liquid Tension Experiment for the prog rock/drum corps crossover audience. Highly recommended. Next week, when I've got some more ready cash, The Complex will be mine as well.. I loved Blue Man Group's Luxor show, by the way; if you're ever in Vegas with a few hours to kill and fifty bucks burning a hole in your pocket, experience it. Blueman.com is also quite something.. Here's a puzzler: For the purpose of playing Six Degrees of Whomever, are the Blue Men interchangeable with each other?

Lesson: Introduction to Graph Theory

### Section 1: What is Graph Theory?
Graph theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of graphs, which are collections of vertices connected by edges. A graph can be represented as a set of nodes or vertices connected by lines called edges. In graph theory, we study various properties of graphs such as connectivity, cycles, and paths.

### Section 2: Why Study Graph Theory?
Graph theory has many applications in computer science, engineering, economics, and other fields. One of the most significant applications is in the field of computer science, where graph theory is used to model complex systems such as networks, databases, and algorithms. In engineering, graph theory is used to analyze the behavior of structures such as bridges, buildings, and roads. In economics, graph theory is used to model market behavior and optimize resource allocation.

### Section 3: Basic Concepts in Graph Theory
In graph theory, there are several basic concepts that we need to understand. These include:

1. Vertex: A vertex is a point in a graph. It can be any object that can be connected to another vertex.

2. Edge: An edge is a line segment connecting two vertices.

3. Path: A path is a sequence of edges that connects two vertices.

4. Cycle: A cycle is a closed path that visits each vertex exactly once.

5. Tree: A tree is a connected graph with no cycles.

6. Degree: The degree of a vertex is the number of edges connected to it.

7. Connectivity: Connectivity is the minimum number of vertices that must be removed to disconnect the graph.

8. Euler's formula: Euler's formula states that for any connected graph, V - E + F = 2, where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces.

9. Planar graph: A planar graph is a graph that can be drawn on a plane without any edges crossing.

### Section 4: Practical Examples
Graph theory has many practical applications in real life. Here are a few examples:

1. Social network analysis: Graph theory is used to analyze the connections between people on social media platforms to identify patterns of communication and influence.

text: The first book tells of Mu Ke who set several obstacles to avoid intrusion by humans, and how a curious 11-year-old girl Xiao Yu accidentally crosses all the barriers with her new friend nicknamed Little Mu Ke. The second book is about the girl's continuing journey where she disguises herself as a dandelion and attends an event to celebrate the birth of a baby Mu Ke with all residents in the forest. Then suddenly the baby disappears and everyone begins to look for it.. Most of the figures in the story are inspired by those from ancient Chinese classics such as Peach Blossom Spring, Zhuangzi and Shanhaijing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas).. Speaking about the new books, a friend of Xiong says his new series had created a dreamland like that in Alice in Wonderland, yet depicting purely Chinese images as seen in Shanhaijing.

**Introduction**

Understanding and analyzing a story is an essential skill that helps us comprehend and interpret the message the author wants to convey. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze a story by breaking it down into its main components, including characters, setting, plot, and theme. We will also learn how to use these components to understand the story's meaning and message.

**Main Components of a Story**

1. **Characters**: These are the people, animals, or objects that interact with each other in the story. They can be the protagonist, antagonist, or minor characters.

2. **Setting**: This refers to the time and place where the story takes place. It can be a specific location or a general time period.

3. **Plot**: This is the sequence of events that make up the story. It includes the conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

4. **Theme**: This is the underlying message or meaning of the story. It can be expressed through the characters, setting, or plot.

**Analyzing a Story**

1. **Characters**: To analyze the characters, we need to consider their motivations, actions, and relationships with other characters. We can also look at how they change throughout the story.

2. **Setting**: To analyze the setting, we need to consider how it affects the characters and the plot. We can also look at how the author uses descriptive language to create a mood or atmosphere.

3. **Plot**: To analyze the plot, we need to consider how the conflict drives the story forward and how the resolution ties everything together. We can also look at how the author uses foreshadowing and other literary techniques to create suspense.

4. **Theme**: To analyze the theme, we need to consider how the characters, setting, and plot contribute to the story's message. We can also look at how the author uses symbolism and other literary devices to convey the theme.

**Practice Questions**

1. Choose a character from a story you have read and analyze their motivations, actions, and relationships with other characters.

2. Describe the setting of a story you have read, focusing on how it affects the characters and the plot.

3. Identify the conflict in a story you have read and explain how it drives the plot forward.

**Conclusion**

Understanding and analyzing a story is an essential skill that helps us comprehend and interpret the message the author wants to convey. By breaking down a story into its main components, we can analyze how each element contributes to the story's meaning and message. By practicing these skills, we can become better readers and thinkers.

For indispensable reporting on the coronavirus crisis, the election, and more, subscribe to the Mother Jones Daily newsletter.

While Kevin Drum is focused on getting better, we’ve invited some of the remarkable writers and thinkers who have traded links and ideas with him from Blogosphere 1.0 to this day to contribute posts and keep the conversation going. Today we’re honored to present a post from Ryan Cooper, national correspondent for the Week.

The next several years will see a rolling 150th anniversary of Reconstruction, my favorite period in American history. From about 1865 to 1877, American society as a whole tried reasonably hard to do right by the freed slaves, before getting tired of the effort and abandoning them to the depredations of racist terrorism. For the next nine decades, black Americans had few if any political rights under the boot heel of Jim Crow.

It’s both a shining example of what can happen when a society really tries to right a past wrong, and tragic, infuriating failure of will. But most of all it’s very interesting. Things were changing, social orders were being overthrown, historical ground was being broken. At a time when few nations had any suffrage at all, roughly 4 million freed slaves got the vote in a single stroke, perhaps the single starkest act of democratic radicalism in world history.

So it’s weirdly fascinating to read conservative historiography of the 19th century, such as this piece by Robert Tracinski at the Federalist, as an example of how Darryl Worley-style historiography irons all the best parts out of American history.

He’s interested in trying to prove that a “non-coercive” economy is possible, by which he means that taxes and spending could be dramatically lower than they are today. Thus he charts government spending as a percentage of GDP, finds that it was pretty low for most of the 19th century, and claims victory:

What the left wants is not just to make America’s economic history disappear. It needs to make America’s political system disappear: to make truly small, truly limited government seem like a utopian fantasy that can safely be dismissed. Please bear in mind that this latest example came up in the context of a discussion about the justification for government force. So what they want to describe as an unrealistic fantasy is a society not dominated by coercion.

One might think that when writing a paean to a noncoercive century, it might be a good idea to address the fact that for 60 percent of that century, it was government policy that human beings could be owned and sold like beasts, or that half or more of the national economy was based on that institution. But no, the word “slavery” does not appear in the piece. Neither does “Civil War” or “Reconstruction,” which as a literal war against and military occupation of the South would seem fairly coercive.

So speaking of the 19th century as one notably free of coercion is not just utterly risible, it’s also a cockeyed way to look at what was good or bad about it. The economy of the antebellum South was founded on the labor of owned human beings, extracted through torture. Slave masters set steadily increasing quotas for cotton picking, for instance, and would flog slaves according to the number of “missing” pounds. As Edward Baptist writes, they thus increased the productivity of slave cotton-picking by nearly 400 percent from 1860 to 1865.

It was akin to the Gulag system of Soviet Russia, except that it had all the power of the red-hot Industrial Revolution, including cutting-edge financial technology, behind it. That combination of slavery plus explosive economic growth and innovation made the antebellum South one of the most profoundly evil places that has ever existed — one that was an absolutely critical part of early industrial growth in both Britain and the North.

But on the other hand, the war that ended slavery, despite involving coercion in the form of organized mass killing, was therefore good! And so was Reconstruction, even though that involved extremely harsh measures against the likes of the KKK. Whether coercion is good or bad depends on just who is being coerced and why.

And that, in turn, puts the lie to conservative complaints that liberals always “blame America first.” On the contrary, grappling with the pitch-black periods of history makes the positive notes shine all the brighter. As Ta-Nehisi Coates has written, the “epoch of slavery is…the quintessential romance of American history.” It’s just a romance difficult to detect in the GDP statistics.

Lesson: The Importance of Reconstruction in American History

Introduction:
Reconstruction was a brief period in American history following the Civil War when the federal government attempted to rebuild the South and grant civil rights to newly-freed slaves. This lesson will explore the significance of Reconstruction, its successes and failures, and its relevance to modern-day issues.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
- Reconstruction began in 1865 and ended in 1877.
- It was a time of great change in America as the country tried to recover from the devastation of the war and address the issue of slavery.
- Reconstruction was marked by both progress and setbacks.

Section 2: Questions and Answers
- What were the main goals of Reconstruction?
  - To rebuild the South and grant civil rights to newly-freed slaves.
- How successful was Reconstruction?
  - There were both successes and failures. Some African Americans were able to achieve political power and make progress towards equality, but ultimately Reconstruction failed to prevent the rise of Jim Crow laws and the oppression of black Americans.

Section 3: Practical Examples
- One example of progress during Reconstruction was the election of African American men to public office. For instance, Hiram Revels became the first African American to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1870.
- However, despite some gains, Reconstruction ultimately failed to prevent the rise of Jim Crow laws and the violent suppression of black rights.

Section 4: Real-World Scenarios
- Today, we still grapple with the legacy of Reconstruction. Issues of race and inequality continue to be pressing concerns in America.
- The struggle for civil rights continues, and we can learn from the successes and failures of Reconstruction as we work towards a more just society.

Glossary:
- Reconstruction: A period in American history following the Civil War when the federal government attempted to rebuild the South and grant civil rights to newly-freed slaves.
- Jim Crow laws: Laws that enforced racial segregation in the South and denied black Americans their civil rights.

Conclusion:
Reconstruction was a time of great change and progress in America, but it ultimately failed to prevent the oppression of black Americans. Today, we continue to grapple with issues of race and inequality, and we can learn from the successes and failures of Reconstruction as we work towards a more just society.

Rubisco is a small fraction of total protein in marine phytoplankton.
Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) concentrations were quantified as a proportion of total protein in eight species of microalgae. This enzyme has been assumed to be a major fraction of total protein in phytoplankton, as has been demonstrated in plants, potentially constituting a large sink for cellular nitrogen. Representative microalgae were grown in batch and continuous cultures under nutrient-replete, nitrogen (N)-limited, or phosphorus (P)-limited conditions with varying CO(2). Quantitative Western blots were performed using commercially available global antibodies and protein standards. Field incubations with natural populations of organisms from the coast of California were conducted under both nutrient-replete and N-limited conditions with varying CO(2). In all experiments, Rubisco represented < 6% of total protein. In nutrient-replete exponentially growing batch cultures, concentrations ranged from 2% to 6%, while in nutrient-limited laboratory and field cultures, concentrations were < 2.5%. Rubisco generally decreased with increasing CO(2) and with decreasing growth rates. Based on a calculation of maximum Rubisco activity, these results suggest that phytoplankton contain the minimum concentration of enzyme necessary to support observed growth rates. Unlike in plants, Rubisco does not account for a major fraction of cellular N in phytoplankton.

Lesson Title: Understanding the Concentration of Rubisco in Marine Phytoplankton

Introduction:
Rubisco is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis in plants and some microorganisms. It is responsible for fixing carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic compounds, which can be used by the organism for energy production. In this lesson, we will explore the concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton and its implications for the marine ecosystem.

Section 1: Understanding Rubisco

**Topic 1.1: What is Rubisco?**
Rubisco is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of photosynthesis, which is the fixation of CO2 into organic compounds. It is one of the most abundant enzymes on Earth and plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle.

**Topic 1.2: Why is Rubisco important for marine phytoplankton?**
Marine phytoplankton are microscopic plants that live in the surface waters of the ocean. They are the base of the marine food web and are responsible for producing organic matter through photosynthesis. Rubisco is essential for their survival because it allows them to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into organic compounds that they can use for energy production.

Section 2: Concentration of Rubisco in Marine Phytoplankton

**Topic 2.1: How much Rubisco is in marine phytoplankton?**
Recent studies have shown that the concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton is significantly lower than previously thought. In fact, Rubisco represents less than 6% of total protein in most marine phytoplankton species.

**Topic 2.2: Why is the concentration of Rubisco so low in marine phytoplankton?**
The low concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton may be due to several factors, including the availability of other nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and the presence of other enzymes that can perform similar functions. Additionally, some marine phytoplankton species may have evolved to rely more on other metabolic pathways for energy production.

Section 3: Implications for the Marine Ecosystem

**Topic 3.1: What does the low concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton mean for the marine ecosystem?**
The low concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton has important implications for the marine ecosystem. For example, it may mean that the ocean's ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere is lower than previously thought. Additionally, it may affect the availability of food for marine organisms that rely on phytoplankton for sustenance.

**Topic 3.2: How does the concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton vary under different environmental conditions?**
The concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton can vary depending on environmental conditions such as nutrient availability, CO2 levels, and temperature. For example, when nutrients are scarce, phytoplankton may allocate more resources to growth rather than Rubisco production. Similarly, higher CO2 levels may lead to increased Rubisco production, while higher temperatures may reduce it.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the concentration of Rubisco in marine phytoplankton is lower than previously thought, with most species having less than 6% of total protein as Rubisco. This has important implications for our understanding of the marine ecosystem and the role of phytoplankton in the global carbon cycle. By understanding these relationships, we can better predict how changes in environmental conditions may affect marine ecosystems and the services they provide.

Lesson: Understanding Disability Rights and Inclusion

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about disability rights and inclusion. We will explore what it means to have a disability, the importance of including people with disabilities in our communities, and the laws that protect their rights.

**Section 1: What is a Disability?**

A disability is a condition or function that makes it more difficult for a person to do certain things that others may take for granted. These difficulties may be physical, such as difficulty walking or seeing, or they may be cognitive, such as difficulty understanding or learning. Disabilities can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic conditions, accidents, diseases, or aging.

**Section 2: Why is Inclusion Important?**

Including people with disabilities in our communities is important because it benefits everyone involved. When people with disabilities are included in social, educational, and work settings, everyone learns and grows. People with disabilities bring unique perspectives and talents that enrich our communities. Additionally, including people with disabilities helps to break down barriers and promote acceptance and understanding.

**Section 3: Disability Rights Laws**

There are several laws in place to protect the rights of people with disabilities. One of the most important is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA ensures that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in community life. This includes access to buildings, transportation, and communication. Another important law is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which ensures that students with disabilities receive appropriate education services.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's consider some practical examples of how disability rights and inclusion play out in everyday life. Imagine a person who uses a wheelchair trying to access a building without ramps or elevators. This would violate the ADA, as it prevents the person from fully participating in community life. Similarly, imagine a student with dyslexia who needs extra support to read and write. IDEA requires that this student receive the appropriate accommodations and services to succeed in school.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, understanding disability rights and inclusion is important for creating a just and equitable society. By learning about the experiences of people with disabilities and the laws that protect their rights, we can work towards a more inclusive future.

**Glossary**

- Disability: A condition or function that makes it more difficult for a person to do certain things that others may take for granted.
- Inclusion: The act of including people with disabilities in social, educational, and work settings.
- ADA: The Americans with Disabilities Act, a law that ensures people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in community life.
- IDEA: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, a law that ensures students with disabilities receive appropriate education services.

**Self-Debate Discussion**

1. How can we promote disability awareness and understanding in our communities?
2. What are some ways that we can include people with disabilities in our daily lives?

Effect of bubble shell nonlinearity on ultrasound nonlinear propagation through microbubble populations.
Nonlinear propagation of ultrasound through microbubble populations can generate artifacts and reduce contrast to tissue ratio in ultrasound imaging. The existing propagation model, which underestimates harmonic generation by an order of magnitude, was revised by incorporating a nonlinear constitutive equation for the coating into the description of the microbubble dynamics. Significantly better agreement with experiments was obtained, indicating that coating nonlinearity represents an important contribution to nonlinear propagation of ultrasound in microbubble populations. The results were found to be sensitive to the parameters characterizing the coating nonlinearity and thus accurate measurement of these parameters is required for accurate quantitative predictions.

**Lesson: Ultrasound Imaging and Nonlinear Propagation**

**Introduction**
Ultrasound imaging is a medical technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the internal structures of the body. These images are used to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. However, nonlinear propagation of ultrasound through microbubble populations can generate artifacts and reduce contrast to tissue ratio, which can affect the accuracy of the images. In this lesson, we will learn about the effect of bubble shell nonlinearity on ultrasound nonlinear propagation through microbubble populations and how to improve the accuracy of ultrasound imaging.

**Main Topic: Nonlinear Propagation of Ultrasound**

1. What is nonlinear propagation of ultrasound?
Nonlinear propagation of ultrasound refers to the change in the amplitude and frequency of the sound waves as they travel through the body. This change can be caused by various factors such as the presence of gas bubbles or other structures that reflect or absorb the sound waves.

2. Why does nonlinear propagation matter in ultrasound imaging?
Nonlinear propagation of ultrasound can affect the quality of the images produced by ultrasound imaging. Artifacts and reduced contrast to tissue ratio can make it difficult for doctors to accurately diagnose and treat medical conditions.

3. How does bubble shell nonlinearity affect nonlinear propagation?
Bubble shell nonlinearity refers to the fact that the outer surface of a gas bubble can change the way that sound waves interact with the surrounding tissue. This can cause the sound waves to be absorbed or reflected differently than if they were traveling through a uniform medium. This can lead to artifacts and reduced contrast in the ultrasound images.

4. How can we incorporate bubble shell nonlinearity into the description of microbubble dynamics?
To accurately model the nonlinear propagation of ultrasound through microbubble populations, we need to incorporate the nonlinear constitutive equation for the coating into the description of the microbubble dynamics. This can be done using mathematical models and simulations.

5. What are the benefits of incorporating bubble shell nonlinearity into the description of microbubble dynamics?
By incorporating bubble shell nonlinearity into the description of microbubble dynamics, we can obtain significantly better agreement with experiments. This indicates that coating nonlinearity represents an important contribution to nonlinear propagation of ultrasound in microbubble populations. Accurate measurement of the parameters characterizing the coating nonlinearity is required for accurate quantitative predictions.

**Conclusion**
Understanding the effect of bubble shell nonlinearity on nonlinear propagation of ultrasound through microbubble populations is crucial for improving the accuracy of ultrasound imaging. By incorporating the nonlinear constitutive equation for the coating into the description of the microbubble dynamics, we can obtain better agreement with experiments and accurately predict the effects of nonlinear propagation. Accurate measurement of the parameters characterizing the coating nonlinearity is necessary for accurate quantitative predictions.

Kinetics of cAMP inhibition of DNA synthesis in bovine adrenocortical cells.
cAMP-treated bovine adrenocortical cells are arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Removal of serum also arrests bovine adrenocortical cells in G1. In the presence of cAMP, serum and fibroblast growth factor stimulate increases in medium cell volume, but DNA synthesis is not initiated. Under these conditions cAMP increases steroidogenic capacity 7- to 10-fold as assessed by metabolism of pregnenolone to fluorogenic steroids. When the kinetics of entry of cells into S phase are quantitated, serum- and FGF-treated cells initiate DNA synthesis at an exponential rate after a 12-h lag. In contrast when cAMP is removed, cells immediately initiate DNA synthesis without a lag at a similar exponential rate (6.3 and 5.3% of the cells entering S/h). In the presence of growth factors, cAMP-treated bovine adrenocortical cells are thus hypertrophied with increased steroidogenic capacity, but are reversibly arrested at the G1/S boundary. These findings suggest that cAMP arrests cell replication by mechanisms distinct from those of serum deprivation.

Lesson: Introduction to Cell Cycle Regulation

### Overview

The cell cycle is the process by which cells grow, divide, and reproduce. It is regulated by various signaling molecules and environmental factors. In this lesson, we will learn about the cell cycle and how it is regulated by cAMP, a signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cell cycle in bovine adrenocortical cells.

### Section 1: The Cell Cycle

The cell cycle is divided into four main phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The G1 phase is the period before DNA replication, during which cells grow and prepare for division. The S phase is when DNA replication occurs, and the G2 phase is the period after DNA replication. The M phase is when the cell divides into two daughter cells.

### Section 2: cAMP and Cell Cycle Regulation

cAMP is a signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle in bovine adrenocortical cells. When cAMP levels are high, cells are arrested in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This arrest is due to the activation of a protein called p21, which inhibits the progression of the cell cycle.

### Section 3: Experimental Evidence

Experimental evidence has shown that cAMP treatment of bovine adrenocortical cells arrests them in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This arrest is reversible, and cells can be released from the G1 phase by removing cAMP or adding growth factors. When cAMP is removed, cells immediately initiate DNA synthesis without a lag at a similar exponential rate.

### Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, cAMP plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle in bovine adrenocortical cells. High levels of cAMP arrest cells in the G1 phase, preventing them from entering the S phase and undergoing DNA replication. This arrest is reversible, and cells can be released from the G1 phase by removing cAMP or adding growth factors. Understanding the role of cAMP in cell cycle regulation can help us develop new therapies for diseases such as cancer, where uncontrolled cell division occurs.
