I giornali delle sperienze e osservazioni relativi alla fisiologia della generazione e alla embriologia sperimentale

Reviewed by Mario A. Di Gregorio, M.A., Ph.D., F.L.S., Darwin College, Cambridge. The more the scope of research in the history of science widens, and the more intriguing the problems it touches appear to us, the more we feel the necessity to refer to the original sources represented by unpublished material. Thus archives are now invaluable points of reference in our research. It often happens ...

2 . Accounting for Japan ’ s Economic Development Since 1885

The question we address in this paper is why the Japanese miracle didn’t take place until after World War II. For much of the pre-WWII period, Japan’s real GNP per worker was not much more than a third of that of the U.S., with falling capital intensity. We argue that its major cause is a barrier that kept agricultural employment constant at about 14 million throughout the prewar period. In our...

Dev115253 1885..1892

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are defined by their ability to self-renew and to differentiate into mature neuronal and glial cell types. NSCs are the subject of intense investigation, owing to their crucial roles in neural development and adult brain function and because they present potential targets for gene and cell replacement therapies following injury or disease. Approaches to specifically gen...

Brooks' Theorem and Beyond

We collect some of our favorite proofs of Brooks’ Theorem, highlighting advantages and extensions of each. The proofs illustrate some of the major techniques in graph coloring, such as greedy coloring, Kempe chains, hitting sets, and the Kernel Lemma. We also discuss standard strengthenings of vertex coloring, such as list coloring, online list coloring, and Alon–Tarsi orientations, since analo...
