چکیده
Felix, as he was known to his friends and colleagues, was born in New York City on February 4, 1948. He graduated from Stuyvesant High and Brooklyn College. Here, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and received his Bachelor of Science degree magna cum laude and the Jonas Scholarship with which he attended Yale School of Medicine. After leaving Yale, he spent almost three years as a fellow in the Division of Plastic Surgery at Johns Hopkins. He then went to Miami for his plastic surgery residency under the one and only Ralph Millard, who revolutionised cleft lip surgery. Millard knew that Felix was interested in hand and microsurgery and encouraged Felix to get further training at what was then the foremost centre at the time, Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. After completing his training in hand surgery, he returned to Miami in late 1979 where he started practicing and joined the medical school faculty where he was a voluntary professor of surgery.

متن کاملSpatial covariation between freshwater and terrestrial ecosystem services.
To inform the design and implementation of land-use policies that consider the variety of goods and services people derive from ecosystems, it is essential to understand spatial patterns of individual services, how multiple services relate to each other, and how these relationships vary across spatial scales and localities. Despite the importance of freshwater as a determinant of regional econo...
