On Ju ly 5, 1981, John Howard Northrop will reach the venerable age of four score and ten. He is active and well for a man of his age but a bit unhappy that his diminished eyesight makes him no longer the skeet supermarksman he once was. The Editors of The Journal of General Physiology and some of Dr. Northrop's friends wish to use this occasion to express their grati tude for his 62-year-long ...

To enhance the spectral efficiency and to improve service quality for cellular radio systems, a new microcellular system has been proposed [1-5] that operate over a relatively short radio path (on the order of 200 m to 1000 m), using relatively low antennas (about the same height as lamp posts), and transmitting at relatively low power (typically on the order of 10 m W). This new concept of mic...

These notes are extracted from the rst version of the paper From Computation to Foundations: the-calculus and its webbed modelss.

Howard Hang is cutting through the forest of posttranslational modifications in an attempt to better understand how human pathogens alter this terrain.

The use of anti-Ig antibodies to stimulate polyclonal proliferation through Ig receptors expressed on the B cell membrane has been a popular model for antigendriven B cell activation (1-7). Initially it was proposed that anti-Ig-induced proliferation proceeded independently of T cells and other accessory ceils, as vigorous depletion of such cell types failed to prevent activation (3, 8). Howeve...
