Irwin Rose (1926-2015).

On June 2, 2015, Irwin (Ernie) Rose died quietly in his sleep at age 88, after a long and fruitful lifetime of sleuthing for the secrets of life at the molecular level. Truly great scientists are much more than the sum of their publications and awards. This is especially true for Ernie who, when informed that he had been awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, wondered aloud whether he reall...

In 1953, while still at Tufts CollegeMedical School, Mel Simpson published a landmark paper demonstrating the ATP dependence of intracellular protein degradation. A year later, after moving to the Department of Biochemistry at Yale University Medical School, Simpson described his enigmatic results in a latenight discussion with a newly minted Instructor recently arrived from postdoctoral traini...

This young man presented initially and repeatedly over a period of twenty years with symptoms of irritability, depressed and withdrawn mood, impulsivity, out-of-control behavior, and suicidal ideation and behavior. These symptoms occurred with disabling intensity at ages 3 year, 6 1/2 years, and 8 1/2 years, when he had not yet been adequately diagnosed and treated with appropriate psychopharma...

Heterotic supergravity with (1+3)–dimensional domain wall configurations and (warped) internal, six dimensional, almost-Kähler manifolds X are studied. Considering on ten dimensional spacetime, nonholonomic distributions with conventional double fibrations, 2+2+...=2+2+3+3, and associated SU(3) structures on internal space, we generalize for real, internal, almost symplectic gravitational struc...
