Prelude to a Kiss

We consider expanding maps of the circle with an almost neutral fixed point c. In this setting the ergodic averages of a smooth observable A satisfy the Central Limit Theorem. If A(c) = 0 we show that the expectation and the variance behave as the square root of the multiplier of c times rapidly oscillating functions of parameters.

A deadly thorn prick

Infection is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among haemodialysis patients. Some of the risk factors specific to this population include repeated access to the blood stream through venous cannulation for dialysis as well as a higher prevalent usage of prosthetic materials like haemodialysis catheters and arteriovenous grafts. In addition, defects in immunity and phagocytosis also cont...

Untangling a deadly conspiracy

Molecular mothbal ls for RNA S tressed-out cells pack away all but their crucial messenger RNAs for better times. The zipcode binding protein (ZBP1) functions as a preservative for the stored RNA, as Stöhr et al. report on page 527. By sheltering some cached molecules, the protein might help cells to recover quickly once conditions improve. Heat, reactive oxygen species, and other harsh stimuli...

Landmines: A Deadly Legacy

Landmines: A Deadly Legacy (“ Deadly Legacy”) is both a powerful advocacy piece calling for an international ban on the production, stockpiling, trade, and use of landmines, as well as a compelling reference work carefully detailing what can only be deemed a global landmines crisis. The book, a joint effort of The Arms Project, a division of Human Rights Watch, and of Physicians for Human Right...
