TCOL: a quarter of century

A Quarter Century of Glycobiology.

As was pointed out in the editorial in the very first issue ofGlycobiology (Hart 1990), the study of the biology of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates dates back to the earliest foundations of biochemistry. What is now the Society for Glycobiology dates back to small meetings organized by the founding fathers of our field, which took place in the early 1960s (for a historical review, see Silbert...

ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM INSTITUTE OVER TIME: A QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF EXPERIENCE

Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Institute (EMRI) was established in 1993. EMRI has progressed step by step from the beginning and has reached maturity in the last 25 years. EMRI has expanded, advanced in human resources and infrastructures (laboratories and new technologies) and gained first rank in endocrine research in various fields. It has also worked with regional and international o...

A Quarter of a Century with AIDS

In Northwestern Spain (NWS), the annual incidence of AIDS diagnoses increased from 1984 (when the first case was diagnosed) until 1996. However, since 1996, this incidence has reduced considerably, including a notable 40% reduction between 1997 and 1998. The Galician Register of AIDS supplies information on the evolution of AIDS pathology in NWS. This report compiles data on patients who were d...

A quarter-century of H-mode studies

The H-mode is a confinement mode of toroidal plasmas, which may make the goals of fusion possible—the development of a clean energy source at competitive electricity costs. The most challenging aspect of the H-mode physics is the sudden disappearance of the edge turbulence whereas its driving forces—the gradients—increase. As the physics behind the H-mode is subtle many features are not yet cla...
