Lasker Lauds Leptin

This year, the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award will be shared by Douglas Coleman and Jeffrey Friedman for their discovery of leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite and body weight. By uncovering a critical physiologic system, their discovery markedly accelerated our capacity to apply molecular and genetic techniques to understand obesity.

Lasker Award to Heart Valve Pioneers

This is dedicated to our former chairman Dr. Mahmoud Rohani

THE ∗ - AUTONOMOUS CATEGORY OF UNIFORM SUP SEMI - LATTICES Dedicated to the memory of Heinrich Kleisli , 1930 – 2011

In [Barr & Kleisli 2001] we described ?-autonomous structures on two full subcategories of topological abelian groups. In this paper we do the same for sup semilattices except that uniform structures play the role that topology did in the earlier paper.
