Thomas Vicary and the Anatomie of Mans Body

Dysfunction of prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia includes changes in GABAergic mRNAs, including decreased expression of GAD1, encoding the 67 kDa glutamate decarboxylase (GAD67) GABA synthesis enzyme. The underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Alterations in DNA methylation as an epigenetic regulator of gene expression are thought to play a role but this hypothesis is difficult to tes...

Excited Fermion Contribution to Z Physics at One Loop

We investigate the effects induced by excited leptons at the one-loop level in the observables measured on the Z peak at LEP. Using a general effective Lagrangian approach to describe the couplings of the excited leptons, we compute their contributions to both oblique parameters and Z partial widths. Our results show that the new effects are comparable to the present experimental sensitivity, b...

One hundred years of epilepsy surgery: Sir Victor Horsley's contribution.

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same" (Kipling, "If', 1910)' On May 25th, 1886, Victor Horsley, then aged 29 years, another brilliant recent recruit to the burgeoning National Hospital for the Paralysed and Epileptic in Queen Square, performed his first brain operation on a patient.2 There was no tradition of neurological surgery, so there could...

One-electron spin-orbit contribution by effective nuclear charges

Effective nuclear charges of the main group elements from the second up to the fifth row have been developed for the one-electron part of the spin-orbit (SO) coupling Hamiltonian. These parameters, suitable to be used for SO calculations of large molecular systems, provide a useful and remarkably good approximation to the full SO Hamiltonian. We have derived atomic effective nuclear charges by ...
