Germs from Mars?

Global distribution of neutrons from Mars: results from Mars odyssey.

Global distributions of thermal, epithermal, and fast neutron fluxes have been mapped during late southern summer/northern winter using the Mars Odyssey Neutron Spectrometer. These fluxes are selectively sensitive to the vertical and lateral spatial distributions of H and CO2 in the uppermost meter of the martian surface. Poleward of +/-60 degrees latitude is terrain rich in hydrogen, probably ...

Germs and Ideas

illus., no price given. The author, to whom we are indebted for a most interesting history of Spanish obstetrics and several historical monographs, has focussed his interest on the 'enlightened' Ruiz de Luzuriagas, father and son, Basque physicians like the author. The father emerges as a great defender of smallpox inoculation, widely practised in Spain before Jenner's vaccination was universal...

Allergens, germs and asthma

OBJECTIVE To explore asthma pathogenesis using data from upper and lower airways. DATA SOURCE English-language papers on human asthma and nasal polyp subjects from 1990 onwards. STUDY SELECTION High-quality studies in established journals. RESULTS The recognition of its inflammatory nature led to a quantum leap in the understanding and treatment of asthma, with lives saved by inhaled cort...

Germophobia: the dilemma of hand washing and protection from germs.

Germs of Kloosterman Integrals

In an earlier paper we introduced the concept of Shalika germs for certain Kloosterman integrals. We compute explicitly the germs in the case of the group GL(3).
