‎In this paper we study Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance‎. ‎We‎ ‎find a partial differential equation equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat‎. ‎Some applications are given‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we give an explicit construction of a new locally projectively flat Finsler metric of vanishing flag curvature which differs from the Finsler metric given by Berwald in 1929.

published in the Calcutta Medical Journal, February 1929. The following case of pygonagous twins was brought to my notice in January 1929. Ganga Bai and Gaura Bai were born in Madras and had attained the age of 20 years. Owing to the conservatism of the parents and the guardians of the twins no medical man had as yet had the opportunity of examining them or taking an X-ray picture of the case. ...

After the Burnet School at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne changed its focus from influenza to immunology, the influenza research program moved with Frank Fenner's group to ANU, where it was anchored by Stephan Fazekas de St. Groth. There the pioneering influenza work of Sir MacFarlane Burnet continued, with Graeme Laver as biochemist and Stephan Fazekas as the mathematical mod...

Z inder, a superb geneticist (who also embraced biochemistry), died on February 3, 2012, following a long illness. He was 83. Zinder came of age at the dawn of microbial genetics. A prodigy with an eidetic memory, he was only 15 when he graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, where he built his first incubator for growing bacteria (a 60-W light bulb in a box with a thermostat). After e...
