follows with a wonderful piece on the cataloguing of the monstrous from the cabinet to the collections and representations of embryological monsters. Roy Porter, too, fills in the details for the eighteenth century. His brilliant essay on "monsters and the mad" fills in the conceptual gap which Zapperi leaves between these two categories. He shows how both categories reinforce each other on the...

A compactification of the heterotic string is considered which describes a particle propa-excited states whose dynamics is 1 + 1 dimensional. The model appears to describe D-particle dynamics in type IIA string theory on M.

We consider the relationship between the conjectured uniqueness of the Moonshine Module, V♮, and Monstrous Moonshine, the genus zero property of the modular invariance group for each Monster group Thompson series. We first discuss a family of possible Zn meromorphic orbifold constructions of V♮ based on automorphisms of the Leech lattice compactified bosonic string. We reproduce the Thompson se...

conclusions coronary artery aneurysm should be a differential diagnosis in cases of mediastinal cyst and mass lesion. case presentation a 32-year-old woman presented with edema of the upper and lower limbs, palpitation, and chest pain, and was diagnosed with a giant right coronary artery aneurysm that had initially mimicked a mediastinal cyst. although computed tomography (ct) suggested a media...
