1 Parallel Evolution in Science As we survey the evolution of modern science, we find the remarkable phenomenon that similar general conceptions and viewpoints have evolved independently in the various branches of science, and to begin with these may be indicated as follows: in the past centuries, science tried to explain phenomena by reducing them to an interplay of elementary units which coul...

We examined changes in several independent intensity indices of four major tropical monsoonal circulations for the period 1950–1998. These intensity indices included observed land surface precipitation and observed ocean surface pressure in the monsoon regions as well as upperlevel divergence calculated at several standard levels from the NCAR/NCEP reanalysis. These values were averaged seasona...

For those caring for the patient with congenital heart disease, the last 50 years of the 20th century was witness to staggering advances in virtually all aspects of pediatric cardiovascular medicine and surgery. The first half of the 20th century was not dormant in this regard. Dr Maude Abbott of Montreal had published her wonderful atlas in 1936 under the auspices of the American Heart Associa...

BACKGROUND The authors conducted a retrospective cohort mortality study on police officers from 1950-2005. METHODS Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) analyses were conducted separately for white male (n=2761), black (n=286), and female (n=259) officers. RESULTS Mortality from all causes of death combined for white male officers was significantly higher than expected (SMR=1.20; 95% confidenc...

Introduction On January 24, 2014, Nancy McCartney-Francis died before completing revisions for her manuscript, which is published in this edition of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology [1]. Because this manuscript was very important to Nancy, I have finalized her revisions to ensure its publication on her behalf as a testament to her efforts in this study and her life-long career in the field.
