Dolf Seilacher (1925–2014)

Reading meeting, John Hardcastle from the company discussed the commercial and regulatory challenges attached to such endeavours. Christine Rohde and Johannes Wittmann at the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures in Braunschweig are in the process of expanding their arsenal of medically useful phage strains. Most recently, they reported the characterisation of phages against the...

Communication and emotion. Essays in honor of Dolf Zillmann

Marie Dacke

it became a flagship group for all of Europe. The Crafoord Prize was the icing on the cake. He spent all of the money associated with the latter on encouraging his favourite science. Twenty years ago, I went on a joint field trip with Dolf Seilacher to the remote Oman desert. The idea was to investigate Cambrian trace fossils and link them — for once — to a real ‘culprit’, the trilobite species...

Evolving Form and Function: Fossils and Development Proceedings of a symposium honoring Adolf Seilacher for his contributions to paleontology, in celebration of his 80th birthday

Adolf Seilacher’s major contribution to our understanding of the evolution of morphology has been to emphasize that function is an important, but far from complete, explanation of organic form. Recognizing the influence of phylogeny and architecture in addition to adaptation, Seilacher formalized this realization in 1970 as “Konstruktions–Morphologie” (constructional morphology). This “triangul...

Oxidized graphite and carbon fiber (US)

51) Int. Cl. (57) A mechanochemical oxidation process that allows relatively benign oxidizers to be used for the production of at least partially oxidized graphite, and a method of preparing a carbon fiber using oxidized graphite and a fiber component. Partially oxidized graphite is fully dispersible in water and can be used to prepare thin films with conductivities rivaling pure graphite. This...
