A 1994 University of Chicago study entitled The Social Organization of Sexuality found that on average men have 74% more opposite­gender partners than women, confirming a view that men are more promiscuous. But whoever reported this finding was lying or confused! We’ll show you how to use the properties of vertex degrees in a graph to prove this. Let’s recast opposite­gender partnering in graph...

W. J. Wilson and the Weil-Felix reaction.

Eponymy is however not an absolute guarantee against what Sir Thomas Browne called the iniquity of oblivion. Times and names change. Brucella abortus has supplanted the bacillus abortus of Bang. I was taught that diphtheria was caused by the Klebs-Loeffler bacillus, but that pathogen is now Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Klebs has survived in Klebsiellapneumoniae, but at the expense of Friedlaend...

J un 1 99 3 Fixed Point Actions for Wilson Fermions U . - J . Wiese

Iterating renormalization group transformations for lattice fermions the Wilson action is driven to fixed points of the renormalization group. A line of fixed points is found and the fixed point actions are computed analytically. They are local and may be used to improve scaling in lattice QCD. The action at the line's endpoint is chirally invariant and still has no fermion doubling. The Nielse...

Look Closely: Lessons Prof. Gérard T. Simon Might Have Taught

This symposium honors Prof. Gérard T. Simon, a respected colleague in the field of ultrastructural pathology. Though he distinguished himself during the several decades of his career as an outstanding diagnostician, laboratorian, and investigator, he is perhaps best known as an educator and evangelist for the importance of electron microscopy, particularly for trainees. It is no surprise that t...
