Miles, M

Anomalously high radiation counts were observed using several different Geiger-Mueller (GM) detectors as well as sodium iodide (NaI) detectors during electrolysis experiments with palladium cathodes in heavy water. These high radiation counts were often observed in codeposition experiments where palladium metal is deposited from a D2O solution onto a copper cathode in the presence of evolving d...

Collaborating Across the Miles

In today's scientific environment scientists can no longer work in isolated laboratories. The problems being studied require experts from several fields to combine their talents. The instruments used to gather scientific data are expensive and difficult to build so there are only a few in the world. The Internet connectivity and the powerful desktop workstations available today provide the pote...

Viruses Associated with Acute Respiratory Infections SUZANNE

Since the discovery of the rhinoviruses and respiratory syncytial virus only a few surveys have been made on the incidence of infections by the different respiratory viruses in the general population and the frequency with which they cause respiratory disease (Hilleman et al., 1962 ; Conference on Newer Respiratory Disease Viruses, 1963 ; Higgins et al., 1963). The present report describes the ...

Suzanne Eaton: The beautiful logic of development

D uring development, cells tune their gene expression and determine their position within a growing tissue by referencing the local concentration of certain secreted proteins called morphogens. Morphogens are often present in a concentration gradient across tissues, but, until fairly recently, it wasn't clear how such gradients are established or how morphogens reach their target cells.
