Huxley: evolution's high priest

چکیده

publications, the opportunity arose to establish Zentralblatter and Handbucher for the various growing medical specialisms; by 1914, 75 per cent of the firm's output was in engineering and medicine and a largish group of German scientists found additional employment as advisers on monthly retainers. Sarkowski provides a gripping account of the dangerous thirties when the firm's Jewish genealogy and its high profile of Jewish authors and editors made it vulnerable to the discriminatory Ayran employment regulations. "Scientists cannot do without the industriousness of a publisher," said Rudolph Virchow, whose Archivfir pathologische Anatomie was taken over by Springer in 1920. That industriousness is revealed in detail in the second volume written by Heinz Gctze, a former pathologist and member of the firm's management since 1949 who writes from personal experience rather than as an historian. Available in German since 1992 (volume 2, 1994), the fine English translations by Gerald Graham and Mary Schiifer demonstrate Springer's commitment to English as the lingua franca of science and medicine. At the same time, authors and publishers have produced a useful and absorbing account of the growth of European and intemational science publishing. The first volume, in particular, will form a valuable source of information and interpretation conceming the growth and significance of science publishing up to 1945.

An improved pseudospectral approximation of generalized Burger-Huxley and Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations

In this research paper, an improved Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto pseudospectral approximation of nonlinear Burger-Huxley and Fitzhugh- Nagumo equations have been presented. The method employs chebyshev Gauss-Labatto points in time and space to obtain spectral accuracy. The mapping has introduced and transformed the initial-boundary value non-homogeneous problem to homogeneous problem. The main probl...

Application of Laplace decomposition method for Burgers-Huxley and Burgers-Fisher equations

In this paper, we apply the Laplace decomposition method to obtain a series solutions of the Burgers-Huxley and Burgers-Fisher equations. The technique is based on the application of Laplace transform to nonlinear partial differential equations. The method does not need linearization, weak nonlinearity assumptions or perturbation theory and the nonlinear terms can be easily handled by using the...

A new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell

In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...
