Readers of the current issue will find something unfamiliar , perhaps tantalizing, perhaps unsettling. I am referring to the articles by Cha et al. (see " Ionic mechanisms and Ca 2+ dynamics... " and " Time-dependent changes in membrane excitability... "). The first of these articles is less exotic; it presents computer simulations of a model for bursting electrical activity in pancreatic  cel...

We are very grateful to Kirk Hamilton and Giovanni Ruta of the World Bank and Peter Klenow of Stanford for very helpful advice and for generously supplying important data for this project. We also thank Kenneth Chay, and T. N. Srinivasan for very helpful comments.

The timing and mechanism of the combination between South China Block (SCB) Indochina (IB) are controversial. Three ophiolitic mélange zones (Ailaoshan, Song Ma, Chay) have been proposed as suture within this collisional orogen. However, relationships among three corresponding tectonic belts unclear. In study, we present detailed structural data for belts. bulk architectures Ailaoshan, Chay cor...

The location of the suture zone between South China Block (SCB) and Indochina (IB) is disputed. Recently, along Song Chay (Chay river) belt, a mélange was proposed as potential SCB IB. However, provenance age poorly known. In order to better constrain elements forming mélange, nine samples detrital material, one orthogneiss were subjected zircon U-Pb Hf isotope analysis. Detrital zircons from s...

The case system of most autochthonous East Caucasian languages is marked for a complex system of local case forms that are opposed to a rather restricted set of relational or derivational cases. (1) illustrates the basic paradigmatic make-up of such a system with the help of data from Aghul, an Eastern Samur language of the Lezgian branch (spoken by roughly 8.000 people along the upper regions ...
