André Weil (1906-98)

A conjecture of Yves André . ∗

The introduction to [2] (and references contained therein) contains a comprehensive exposition of terminology and notations relative to this conjecture. Since we use the same terminology and notations, we do not reproduce them here. The introduction to [2] also contains an exposition of results on this conjecture obtained before the article [3] came out. In this article we prove the following t...

Carbinol [4,49-(hydroxymethylene)dibenzonitrile] is the main phase 1 metabolite of letrozole, a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor used for endocrine therapy in postmenopausal breast cancer. We elucidated the contribution of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms on the glucuronidation of carbinol. Identification of UGT isoforms was performed using a panel of recombinant human UGT enzymes. Ki...

Pierre Curie, 1859–1906

The year 2006 marked 100 years since the death of Pierre Curie. It is therefore appropriate that we remember his life and his work, which was cut short by his untimely death from an accident on the Pont Neuf, Paris, on April 19, 1906. He had already accomplished much during his life, both before the discovery of radium with Marie Curie, in work co-authored with his brother Jacques on piezoelect...

Reals which Compute Little André

We investigate combinatorial lowness properties of sets of natural numbers (reals). The real A is super-low if A′ ≤tt ∅′, and A is jump-traceable if the values of {e}A(e) can be effectively approximated in a sense to be specified. We investigate those properties, in particular showing that super-lowness and jump-traceability coincide within the r.e. sets but none of the properties implies the o...
