A Tribute to Gérard Blanchard

A Tribute to Late Professor Mahlagha Ghorbanli

This edition of IJPP celebrates ten years of steady publication of Iranian Journal of Plant Physiology. The story of IJPP is that of a journey that started from a local forum where the researchers and scholars mainly from the Islamic Azad University could share findings of their studies, gradually developing into an international peer-reviewed jour...

No man is an island. A personal tribute to Bob Blanchard and ethoexperimental approaches to the study of behaviour.

I first met Bob Blanchard at an international conference in Paris some 40 years ago. We collaborated intensively during the late 1980s/early 1990s on the ethopharmacology of antipredator defence in wild and laboratory rats, and remained good friends until his untimely passing in November 2013. Bob will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most influential behavioural neuroscientists of the 2...

Returning to the University of Uppsala after 1 year in ON DECEMBER 1, 1996, the world lost one of this century’s giants in hematology. Jan Gosta WaldenMunich, he studied diseases associated with an elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Waldenström ström was born the son and grandson of physicians in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 17, 1906. During his long and distindescribed three...

A Tribute to Lep

After a comment on the performance of LEP some highlights of the LEP1 and LEP2 physics programmes are reviewed. The talk concentrates on the precision measurements at the Z resonance, two fermion production above the Z, W + W − production, ZZ production, indirect limits on the Higgs mass, LEP contributions to the exploration of the CKM matrix, and on the LEP measurements of αs.
