The RISING (Rare ISotope INvestigations at GSI) project [1] combines the EUROBALL Cluster Ge-detectors [2] and the fragment separator FRS [3] for high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy measurements after in-flight isotope separation. In a first campaign relativistic Coulomb excitation of radioactive projectiles and the spectroscopy of nuclei excited in secondary fragmentation reactions were examine...

During oogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster, the cells in the follicular epithelium of the ovary undergo a transition from a cuboidal to a squamous shape. In this issue, Gomez et al. (2012. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201207150) show that the kinase Tao promotes the endocytosis of the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin 2 from the lateral surface of the cell and is critical for the...

This paper's central concern is with signs of fascism in recent political developments in a number of European countries and the United States. It takes the reader back to earlier periods in European and American history when this same anguished question was raised. Thus a longer intellectual history of concerns about the viability of democratic systems is drawn to guide us in our current polit...

Special psychiatric services for the elderly now exist, some very well developed, in about half of all health districts, and over one tenth of all consultants in general psychiatry specialise in work with the elderly.' This development has taken place largely over the past decade, reflecting both progress in psychiatry and growing concern about how to cope with The Rising Tide2 of mental disord...

More fossil specimens and an eagerly awaited age for Homo naledi raise new questions and open fresh opportunities for paleoanthropologists.

Relationships between the environment and population dynamics in ecology have a long history of polarized debates usually involving two alternative and opposite explanations that exclude each other. One of the best known examples is found in the early question of what regulates populations and the role of extrinsic vs. intrinsic factors, opposing the importance of the environment (or density-in...
