She went on to study medicine at the Royal Free Hospital and qualified in 1914. She decided to become a paediatrician and after completing some posts in London went t...

Mackay Antisymmetry Space Groups

By using the antisymmetry characteristic method implemented in computer programs written in Mathematica 4, from 230 space symmetry groups are derived 1191 Mackay groups of the type M1, 5005 groups of the type M2, 19467 groups of the type M3, 72587 groups of the type M4, 191728 groups of the type M5, and 598752 groups of the type M6. Mackay groups are the minimal representation of Zamorzaev’s mu...

smoking, or by a combination of the three, and to pack them into barrels for transport. The cod and its relatives hake and haddock, were a different matter and more easily preserved than herring. The pursuit of cod took fishermen much further away. A huge industry developed, centred on Bergen, where ships exchanged dried fish for grain. Archaeological excavations in the Norwegian Lofoten Island...

Mechanisms of Cellular Iron Acquisition Another Iron in the Fire

Iron transport occurs by the well-known transferrin (Tf)-transferrin receptor (Tf receptor) system and by a second as yet uncharacterized system. Two reports in the current issue of Molecular Cell suggest an unexpected candidate for the Tf-independent system.
