John Denis Sargan 1924 — 1996

J. D. Sargan was born on August 23, 1924, in Doncaster, Yorkshire, where he spent his childhood. He was Emeritus Professor of Econometrics at the London School of Economics when he died at his home in Theydon Bois, Essex, on Saturday 13 April, 1996. He received his secondary education at Doncaster Grammar School and, at the age of 17, gained a State Scholarship for entrance to St. Johns College...

John Wiley & Sons Raman spectroscopy of halogen containing carbonates

Raman spectroscopy complimented with infrared spectroscopy has been used to study a series of selected natural halogenated carbonates from different origins including bastnasite, parisite and northupite. The position of CO3 symmetric stretching vibration varies with mineral composition. An additional band for northupite at 1107 cm is observed. Raman spectra of bastnasite, parisite and northupit...

Ecological Applications, 6(3), 1996, pp

Biodiversity mapping (e.g., the Gap Analysis Program [GAP]), in which vegetative features and categories of land use are mapped at coarse spatial scales, has been proposed as a reliable tool for land use decisions (e.g., reserve identification, selection, and design). This implicitly assumes that species richness data collected at coarse spatiotemporal scales provide a first-order approximation...

Natural Based Anticancer Drugs and Their Worthiness

Cellular proteolytic systems, volume 15. Edited by Aaron J. Ciechanover and Alan L. Schwartz. Modern Cell Biology Series. New York: John Wiley and Sons. (1994). 233 pp. $84.95

To classical biochemists, enzymologists, or cell biologists, proteolysis has been a problem that could wreak havoc with weeks of meticulous work when they find a particular activity is "dead" as a result of proteolytic degradation. Indeed, it may not be entirely coincidental that several proteases have the syllables "pain" in their names. In the past decade, proteases have assumed new respectab...
