: Americans in Sumatra . James W. Gould.

James W. Valentine

Jim Valentine went to college on the GI Bill (a WWII veterans privilege) and has been there ever since; at present he is Professor of Integrative Biology, Emeritus, at UC Berkeley. His early research was on what is now called macroecology, working with fossil marine faunas, leading to a book, Evolutionary Paleoecology of the Marine Biosphere. Those studies continue today, chiefly with colleague...

“This paper had its origins in a summer of 1956 project to build 1,420 mc low noise traveling wave tubes for use as preamplifiers in the Caltech radio telescope. The tubes that I built had measured noise figures that were much worse than the predicted theoretical minimum of six db. I used the standard low noise tube design formulae, which had been previously demonstrated to result in tubes that...

Earthquake in a maze: compressional rupture branching during the 2012 M(w) 8.6 Sumatra earthquake.

Seismological observations of the 2012 moment magnitude 8.6 Sumatra earthquake reveal unprecedented complexity of dynamic rupture. The surprisingly large magnitude results from the combination of deep extent, high stress drop, and rupture of multiple faults. Back-projection source imaging indicates that the rupture occurred on distinct planes in an orthogonal conjugate fault system, with relati...

nature neuroscience • volume 2 no 3 • march 1999 The involvement of the hippocampal formation in learning has been recognized for decades1,2, but the cellular mechanisms underlying this association remain enigmatic. The hippocampal formation produces new neurons throughout adulthood in many vertebrates, from birds to primates3–8; however, although the number of neurons produced is high, the fun...
