The section on muscle diseases has been considerably enlarged and freely illustrated, with several new articles, e.g., on Myasthenia gravis by Dr. F. Buzzard. The article on Myopathy has been revised by Dr. F. E. Batten. The section on the Nervous...

I present a general theory of overconvergent p-adic automorphic forms and eigenvarieties for connected reductive algebraic groups G whose real points are compact modulo centre, extending earlier constructions for forms of GLn due to Buzzard, Chenevier and Yamagami. This leads to some new phenomena, including the appearance of intermediate spaces of “semiclassical” automorphic forms; this gives ...

The bones (humerus and/or femur) of 229 birds of prey from 11 species were analyzed for Pb and As to evaluate their exposure to Pb shot. The species with the highest mean Pb levels were red kite (Milvus milvus) and Eurasian griffon (Gyps fulvus), and the species with the lowest levels were Eurasian buzzard (Buteo buteo) and booted eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus). Red kite also had the highest mean ...
