Fatty acids are an important class of signaling molecules regulating key aspects of whole body metabolism and physiology. In this issue, Yore et al. report a group of branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids that regulate insulin secretion and glucose uptake through the activation of GPR120.

The cases have not been sufficiently numerous to describe the disease as occurring in epidemic form, but as time went on it was obvious to us that persons were getting affected much more frequently than of yore. In the past, all of us have had cases from ...

domain M parameterization immersed surface Remember that, like the cartographers of yore, our goal is to parameterize a given surface over the plane. In particular, we want to find a map that preserves angles. How can we express this condition more explicitly? Well, we know how to express 90-degree rotations on the surface, using the complex structure J . And we know how to express 90-degree ro...

There’s a new generation of computer-based tools which are increasingly being utilized by trial lawyers. Some are behind-the-scenes tools, designed to enhance the ability of the lawyer to map out case strategy, build timelines of events, and even produce trial books.
