The following are corrections to a paper by Bloomer & Arndt [(1999), Acta Cryst. D55, 1672-1680]. The entry in the second row of the I(MAR) column of Table 1(b) on page 1674 should read 6.6 and not 16. 6. In Table 4 on page 1677 the source diameter should be given as 15 &mgr;m and not 15 mm, and the units for the diameter of the sample should be given as &mgr;m instead of mm.

In 1674, the Amsterdam publisher Jan Claesz ten Hoorn printed a new schoolbook, Nieuwe Spiegel der Jeugd, of Franse Tiranny (New Mirror Youth, or French Tyranny).

This brief review attempts to summarize some of the major phases of muscle research from Leeuwenhoek's description of sarcomeres in 1674, through Galvani's observation of "animal electricity" in 1791, to the discovery of Ca2+ as the key messenger in the coupling of nerve excitation to muscle contraction. The emerging molecular mechanism of the contraction process is one of the great achievement...

I give a brief overview of the resolution of the apparent problem of reconciling time symmetric microscopic dynamic with time asymmetric equations describing the evolution of macroscopic variables. I then show how the large deviation function of the stationary state of the microscopic system can be used as a Lyapunov function for the macroscopic evolution equations. —————————————————————————— G...
