In Memoriam: Norton Zinder (1929–2012) Geneticist

Z inder, a superb geneticist (who also embraced biochemistry), died on February 3, 2012, following a long illness. He was 83. Zinder came of age at the dawn of microbial genetics. A prodigy with an eidetic memory, he was only 15 when he graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, where he built his first incubator for growing bacteria (a 60-W light bulb in a box with a thermostat). After e...

In memoriam Piotr Slonimski (1922-2009) the unconventional yeast geneticist.

PIOTR Slonimski, one of the forebears of yeast molecular genetics, died in Paris, France April 25, 2009. He was 86 years old. His exceptional personality and scientific contributions made him so well known among the international genetic community that his first name, Piotr, was usually sufficient to identify him in conversation. During the early 1970s, Slonimski was one of the principal founde...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure marginal bone loss from the implant-abutment microgap to the bone crest between multiple freestanding implants functionally loaded for up to 7.5 years in the posterior jaws. Materials and Methods: Patients consecutively treated for the replacement of missing posterior teeth were included in the study. Using the implant-abutment interface, which ...
