The disorder degrades motor skills as well as mental abilities in affected individuals. The expected lifespan of a child with Tay-...

Box-like tetrakis(metalloporphyrin) supramolecular assemblies possessing Zn and Al metal sites can catalyze the methanolysis of phosphate triesters with a high rate enhancement, up to 430 times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction. Mechanistic studies suggest that the observed rate enhancement can be attributed to a high local concentration of methoxide ion that operates in concert with a solvo...

Fields of research are frequently cultivated by a few scientific entrepreneurs whose vision and drive inspire the rest of us. The analysis of chroma-tin structure and function has profited immensely from leaders such as Wolf-ram Hörz. The yeast PHO5 promoter model developed by Wolfram Hörz has become a paradigm for dissecting the events underlying promoter-specific chro-matin opening in respons...

Alexis Carrel [5] was a doctor and researcher who studied tissue cultures. He continued Ross Granville Harrison?s research and produced many improvements in the field of tissue culture and surgery. He was the recipient of the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine [6] for his development of surgical techniques to repair blood vessels. Carrel was born on 28 June 1873 in Sainte-Foy-les-Lyon, ...

that given here, applies the term pyloric canal to the passage through the pyloric sphincter in X-ray photographs of the stomach (fig. 4) and in the description of the movements of the stomach. Most radiologists still use the terms pyloric antrum or pre-pyloric segment for what is anatomically the pyloric canal, though Shanks (1938) uses the terms pyloric canal and pylorus as synonymous, statin...

Charles Benedict Davenport [5] was an early twentieth-century experimental zoologist. Davenport founded both the Station for Experimental Evolution and the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor in New York. Though he was a accomplished as a statistician and as a scientist, Davenport?s also has a legacy as the scientific leader of the eugenics movement [6] in the US. Eugenics, an attempt ...
