Supplemental Data Figure S1. Intrinsic photosensitivity of CSF-contacting neurons in the PVO. Apparent light response observed in normal ACSF (black trace) persisted during the bath application of 1 µM TTX (red trace). Although action potentials were blocked, light-induced depolarization was unaffected by bath application of TTX. hv: light stimulus.

School finance reform in Michigan involved centralization (at the state level) of spending decisions about schools, a large tax shift (mostly from property to sales), and a small tax cut. The changes came about after two decades of failed attempts to reduce property taxes in the state, and were the immediate result of an unlikely piece of legislation that abolished all funding for public school...

How can we know if a proof is correct? People often imagine that it suffices for a mathematician to make the effort to read it carefully, line by line, after having taken note of the definitions and known results that might be of use. If certain questions are unresolved, as to be sure some are, we would known precisely which ones, and the work of the researcher would consist uniquely of resolvi...

The death of Colonel Paul Bush, which occurred on the 7th October, at the age of 73, deprived Bristol of a publicspirited citizen, and the medical profession of a popular and distinguished member. Throughout his life he devoted a great deal of time and energy to public services and to the promotion of various organizations apart from his hospital or private practice, and it was characteristic o...

My memoirs of Paul Erdős will be almost all entirely personal, but I would like to begin with two small incidents illustrating attitudes of the mathematical community and the wider world to Paul. Both took place on trains. After I received my copy of the two-volume work The Mathematics of Paul Erdős [13] (published just after Paul’s death), I was reading it on the train home from work. Sitting ...

This document provides a glossary of terms used in the IETF when discussing internationalization. The purpose is to help frame discussions of internationalization in the various areas of the IETF and to help introduce the main concepts to IETF participants.
