It has long been known that enzymically catalysed synthesis and hydrolysis of cholesterol esters occurs in the presence of certain tissues (Kondo, 1910a, b; Schultz, 1912; Cytronberg, 1912; Gardner & Lander, 1913; Mueller, 1916a, b; Porter, 1916; Nomura, 1924a, b; Shope, 1928; Nedswedski, 1935, 1936; Klein, 1939; Sperry, 1935; Sperry & Stoyanoff, 1937, 1938). The most extensive recent studies, ...

Streamgraphs were popularized in 2008 when The New York Times used them to visualize box office revenues for 7500 movies over 21 years. The aesthetics of a streamgraph is affected by three components: the ordering of the layers, the shape of the lowest curve of the drawing, known as the baseline, and the labels for the layers. As of today, the ordering and baseline computation algorithms propos...

A high-resolution, numerical study of an idealized western boundary current flow over variable topography is presented, with application to the East Australian Current (EAC). The results indicate that alongshelf topographic variations off Australia’s east coast cause the EAC to accelerate over the narrowing continental shelf near Cape Byron. This acceleration is sufficient to hinder the geostro...
