In Memoriam, Melvin M. Grumbach (1925–2016)
MelvinM. Grumbach, MD, widely regarded as the world’s foremost pediatric endocrinologist, died October 4, 2016, at the age of 90 (Fig. 1). Beloved by all and affectionately known as Mel, he was the Edward B. Shaw Professor of Pediatrics, Emeritus, former Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics (1966–1986) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and a former President of The Endoc...
متن کاملMelvin M. Grumbach 1925-2016.
Generations of clinicians have been faced with often striking developmental and acquired hormonal syndromes associated with reproductive, growth, and metabolic phenotypes. These syndromes have included ambiguous genitalia, anomalies of sexual development, intersex forms, accelerated or delayed puberty, gigantism, and short stature. Although clinical phenotypes of these disorders have been well-...
متن کاملCircular (m, N)-strings in Melvin Background
By using the Born-Infeld action we show that the ring-like configurations, which are the circular bound states of m fundamental strings and n D-strings, could be prevented from collapsing by the magnetic force in the Melvin background. However, if the ratio m/n of the circular (m,n)-strings is larger then a critical value the ring will become unstable and collapse to zero radius. We make analys...

M. Colin Jordan, former Infectious Diseases Division Director and Professor of Medicine at both the University of Minnesota and the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), died April 8, 2015. Colin lived an exceptional life, touching patients and colleagues with his excellence and high expectations as a physician and scientist and his rare combination of warmth and nurturing with cutting, ...
متن کاملThe Ka luża-Klein Melvin Solution in M-theory
We study some aspects of the Ka luża-Klein Melvin solution in M-theory. The associated magnetic field has a maximal critical value B = ±1/R where R is the radius of the compactification circle. It is argued that the Melvin background of type IIA with magnetic field B and of type 0A with magnetic field B = B−1/R are equivalent. Evidence for this conjecture is provided using a further circle comp...
