Lectures on General Pathology

Lectures on the Comparative Pathology of Inflammation

to the nineteenth century, as well as the names of the staff and students and their activities during the years of the School's existence from 1941 to 1949. The first part, which includes an account of the careers of two learned Scotsmen in Poland, Drs. John Johnston (1603-1675) and William Davi(d)son (1593-?1669) and a valuable English and Polish bibliography drawn from little-known sources, w...

General Pathology

Some books are immensely influential. Walter and Israel's 'General Pathology' has proved to be one of this kind. The first edition appeared in 1963, probably before most readers of this Journal had even qualified. This?the sixth edition?was published late last year. How has it fared in the last quarter century? The main problem in the field of general pathology texts is that there is none which...

Lectures on Lax - Algebraic Methods in General Topology

(1) Ord: objects are (pre)ordered sets (= sets with a reflexive and transitive relation, no antisymmetry condition), with monotone maps. Formally: (X, a) with 1. a(x, x), 2. a(x, y) ∧ a(y, z) a(x, z), f : (X, a) − → (Y, b) with a(x, y) b(f (x), f (y)). (2) Met: objects are (generalized) metric spaces (=sets with a function a : X ×X − → [0, ∞] that is 0 on the diagonal and satisfies the triangle...

Lectures on Shimura Curves 2: General Theory of Fuchsian Groups

Let R be any commutative ring. Then by GLN (R) we mean the group of all N × N matrices M with entries in R, and which are invertible: det(M) ∈ R×. The determininant map gives a homomorphism of groups which is easily seen to be surjective: defining the kernel to be SLN (R), we get an extension of groups The center Z of GLN (R) consists of the scalar matrices R× · IN , so as a group isomorphic to...
