The ground field k is algebraically closed and of characteristic zero. Let g be a reductive algebraic Lie algebra over k and σ an involutory automorphism of g. Then g = g0 ⊕ g1 is the direct sum of σ-eigenspaces. Here g0 is a reductive subalgebra and g1 is a g0-module. Let G be the adjoint group of g and G0 ⊂ G a connected subgroup with LieG0 = g0. The commuting variety of (g, g0) is the follow...

This is the story of how a conventional middle-class American household?a surgeon, his wife and three normal children?had first to recognise, then to cope with and, finally, to exclude, an abnormal family member. Tony was a beautiful child, the eldest, and apart from long hours of screaming for no apparent reason, he seemed a normal baby. His intellectual and motor development was average, but ...

The magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus are the principal site of biosynthesis of prepropeptide precursor of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (VP). This precursor is processed during anterograde axonal transportation to terminals in the posterior pituitary gland, where biologically active VP is stored until relea...

The natural environment is in a state of constant flux and living organisms are perpetually challenged to adapt to these changes. Yet the mechanisms of adaptation, which lead to the development of new characteristics or behaviours, have troubled philosophers and scientists since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, it was not until 1859, when Charles Darwin (1809– 1882) published The Origin of ...
