William Graeme Laver PhD, FRS (1929–2008)

After the Burnet School at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne changed its focus from influenza to immunology, the influenza research program moved with Frank Fenner's group to ANU, where it was anchored by Stephan Fazekas de St. Groth. There the pioneering influenza work of Sir MacFarlane Burnet continued, with Graeme Laver as biochemist and Stephan Fazekas as the mathematical mod...

This paper describes simulated scenarios for power plant construction in the western United States. The simulations show construction lagging behind the growth in demand, allowing prices to climb to surprisingly high values during the years 2000 and 2001.

To research these questions, I made trips to the BBN Technologies and MIT libraries, did Web searches, and sent emails to univers...
