Ronald Knox: A Bibliographic Essay

Ronald Fintushel and Ronald

In order to state our theorems we need to view the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a smooth 4manifold as a multivariable (Laurent) polynomial. To do this, recall that the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold X with b2 (X) > 1 is an integer valued function which is defined on the set of spin c structures over X, (cf. [W], [KM],[Ko1],[T1]). In caseH1(X,Z) has no 2-torsion (...

Centennial year of Ronald Ross' epic discovery of malaria transmission: an essay and tribute.

Malaria has been in existence since ancient times and for millennia thought to be carried by vapors. Alphonse Laveran made the discovery of the malarial parasite in 1880. The next most important milestone in the history of malaria was the unraveling of the mystery of malaria transmission. Ronald Ross, born in British India and educated as a doctor in England, was working in the Indian Medical S...

Problematica are taxa that defy robust phylogenetic placement. Traditionally the term was restricted to fossil forms, but it is clear that extant taxa may be just as difficult to place, whether using morphological or molecular (nucleotide, gene or genomic) markers for phylogeny reconstruction. We discuss the kinds and causes of Problematica within the Metazoa, as well as criteria for their reco...
