The "strong" RNA world hypothesis: fifty years old.

This year marks the 50(th) anniversary of a proposal by Alex Rich that RNA, as a single biopolymer acting in two capacities, might have supported both genetics and catalysis at the origin of life. We review here both published and previously unreported experimental data that provide new perspectives on this old proposal. The new data include evidence that, in the presence of borate, small amoun...

Transitional states in marine fisheries: adapting to predicted global change.

Global climate change has the potential to substantially alter the production and community structure of marine fisheries and modify the ongoing impacts of fishing. Fish community composition is already changing in some tropical, temperate and polar ecosystems, where local combinations of warming trends and higher environmental variation anticipate the changes likely to occur more widely over c...

Fifty years of tachycardia.

In 1943 an otherwise healthy girl aged 3 developed measles encephalitis with an accompanying mild left hemiparesis. At this time a persistent tachycardia of 140 beats per minute was noted, and she was referred to Sir John Parkinson at the National Heart Hospital. He made a diagnosis of atrial tachycardia. A trial of digoxin and quinidine proved ineffective, but she remained symptomatically well...
