Hans Asperger studied mental abnormalities in children in Vienna, Austria, in the early twentieth century. Asperger was one of the early researchers who studied the syndrome that was later named after him, Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger described the syndrome in his 1944 publication Die Autistischen Psychopathen im Kindesalter (Autistic Psychopathy in Childhood). At that time, the syndrome was c...

The pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is influenced by target-mediated drug disposition, off-target effects, antidrug antibody–mediated clearance, and interaction with fragmentcrystallizable domain (Fc) receptors such as neonatal Fc receptor. All of these interactions hold the potential to impact mAb biodistribution. Near infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes offer an ap...

or merely theoretical interest, but that it is justified by the fact that the whole subject of terrestrial radiation, the temperature of the surface of our planet, and the conditions of organic life upon it are intimately related to that of our present research. The entire radiation of the soil of our earth towards space goes on in a spectral region of which we have hitherto known nothing. Thes...

December 2006 marked 100 years since the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to 2 pioneers in the cellular anatomy of the central nervous system (CNS), Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramon y Cajal. Golgi developed the silver impregnation method for studying nerve cells, a technique that clearly showed entire cells with their arborizing dendrites and axons for the first time. R...

Carl Baumann occupies a unique place in the history of the American Institute of Nutrition (AIN) because as a graduate student he made the first oral presentation of research at the first annual scientific meeting of the society, which was held in New York in 1934. Thus, he initiated the tradition of graduate students presenting their research at the annual meeting. He was elected to membership...

Charles H. Talbot, PhD, BD, BCL, died at his home in London on 13 September 1993 of a stroke at the age of eighty-seven. He was best known to medical history as a leading expert on medieval England. He also made notable contributions to the fields of Cistercian studies and the history of the Anglo-Saxon church.

All quality teleseismic recordings of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake archived in the 1908 Carnegie Report by the State Earthquake Investigation Commission were scanned and digitized. First order results were obtained by comparing complexity and amplitudes of teleseismic waveforms from the 1906 earthquake with well calibrated, similarly located, more recent earthquakes (1979 Coyote Lake...
