Discredit into which physic was brought

Why was this child not brought?

How do we react to the missed appointment? It is a busy clinic (is there any other type?) and the first reaction is likely to be relief. Then there is the realisation that some thought may need to be applied to the child who was not brought. Then there is the remembrance that there is a policy to be followed. Perhaps, it would have been easier if the child had come to the clinic... There are a ...

Neck pain brought into focus.

A time honored dictum states that the eyes "lead the body", i.e., that the body typically adjusts its position to compensate for an impoverished retinal image (e.g., as due to optical blur, and/or inappropriately sized visual target). But only moderate or low level of evidence exists in support of this view. Inconclusive evidence does not, however, equal negative evidence. The accommodation/ver...

The Spine Which Was No Spine

Let Tn be the Teichmüller space of flat metrics on the n-dimensional torus T and identify SLn Z with the corresponding mapping class group. We prove that the subset Y consisting of those points at which the systoles generate π1(T) is, for n ≥ 5, not contractible. In particular, Y is not a SLn Z-equivariant deformation retract of Tn. For n ≥ 2 let Tn be the Teichmüller space of flat metrics with...

Eukaryotic aspects of translation initiation brought into focus.

In all organisms, mRNA-directed protein synthesis is catalysed by ribosomes. Although the basic aspects of translation are preserved in all kingdoms of life, important differences are found in the process of translation initiation, which is rate-limiting and the most important step for translation regulation. While great strides had been taken towards a complete structural understanding of the ...
