Burnet Oration: living in the Burnet lineage. (1/112)

Scientific discoveries are not made in isolation. Innovation depends on resources, both intellectual and physical. A primary requirement is the development and maintenance of appropriate institutions. Such structures do not emerge by chance, but arise from opportunity, political will and the continued efforts and commitment of many people over long periods. Suitable buildings, laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment are obviously necessary, but hardware alone is of little value in the absence of a vibrant research culture. The key characteristics of the latter are intellectual foment, open debate and a body of wisdom and knowledge about the particular subject area. Rolf Zinkernagel and 1 played a part in triggering a paradigm shift in the understanding of T cell recognition, a contribution recognized by the 1996 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. In our Nobel lectures, we both discussed briefly why it was that the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) of 1973-75 provided a milieu that facilitated the emergence of the underlying experiments and ideas. My intention here is to discuss in more detail the scientific lineages that put this physical and intellectual environment in place, focusing particularly on the influence of Sir Frank Macfarlane (Sir Mac) Burnet as we celebrate his centenary year.  (+info)

Skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise: a century of progress. (2/112)

Skeletal muscle physiology and biochemistry is an established field with Nobel Prize-winning scientists, dating back to the 1920s. Not until the mid to late 1960s did there appear a major focus on physiological and biochemical training adaptations in skeletal muscle. The study of adaptations to exercise training reveals a wide range of integrative approaches, from the systemic to the molecular level. Advances in our understanding of training adaptations have come in waves caused by the introduction of new experimental approaches. Research has revealed that exercise can be effective at preventing and/or treating some of the most common chronic diseases of the latter half of the 20th century. Endurance-trained muscle is more effective at clearing plasma triglyceride, glucose, and free fatty acids. However, at the present time, most of the mechanisms underlying the adaptation of human skeletal muscle to exercise still remain to be discovered. Little is known about the regulatory factors (e.g., trans-acting proteins or signaling pathways) directly modulating the expression of exercise-responsive genes. Because so many potential physiological and biochemical signals change during exercise, it will be an important challenge in the next century to move beyond "correlational studies" and to identify responsible mechanisms. Skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations may prove to be a critical component to preventing diseases such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Therefore, training studies have had an impact on setting the stage for a potential "preventive medicine reformation" in a society needing a return to a naturally active lifestyle of our ancestors.  (+info)

The noble enigma: Chagas' nominations for the Nobel prize. (3/112)

Carlos Chagas, a Brazilian physician, discovered the American trypanosomiasis in 1909. Like other remarkable discoveries of those days, his work helped to articulate the insect-vector theory and other theoretical guidelines in tropical medicine. Unlike all other discoveries, all the stages of this work were accomplished in a few months and by a single man. Chagas' discovery was widely recognized at home and abroad. He was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize - in 1913 and in 1921-, but never received the award. Evidence suggests that the reasons for this failure are related to the violent opposition that Chagas faced in Brazil. The contentions towards Chagas were related to a rejection of the meritocratic procedures that gave him prominence, as well as to local petty politics.  (+info)

Portraits of science. Mosquitoes bite more than once. (5/112)

Ronald Ross discovered that the plasmodium parasite--'Laveran's germ'--was transmitted by anopheline mosquitoes to human beings to cause malaria. This discovery won him a Nobel Prize in 1902, but the route to this success was by no means clear. He was an indifferent student, he liked to write novels and poems and only just managed to gain a medical qualification. Fortuitously he was mediocre enough to enter the least prestigious section of the Indian Medical Service, which put him directly in contact with the parasites that were to become his passion. Despite honours being showered on him, life after the Prize also was not straightforward, he was irrascible and his innovative mathematical and economic approaches to disease control were overlooked.  (+info)

Portrait of Science. Scientist, technologist, proto-feminist, superstar. (6/112)

Although Marie Curie is known primarily for her discovery of radium, her true gift to science was her realization that radioactivity is an intrinsic atomic property of matter rather than the result of chemical processes. She was one of the few Nobel laureates to win the prize twice (physics and chemistry). During her career and as one of the first prominent women scientists, she became increasingly aware of the need for funding for research and of the scientific freedom that money can bring. By nature shy and reserved, Marie's fame, as both a scientist and as an exemplar of a liberated professional woman of the roaring twenties, grew to superstar proportions.  (+info)

From the philosophy auditorium to the neurophysiology laboratory and back: from Bergson to Damasio. (7/112)

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was probably the most influential French philosopher at the turn of the twentieth century. In 1927 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Far beyond the restricted academic philosophical milieu, the impact of his thinking reached personalities as diverse as Claude Debussy, Marcel Proust, George Bemard Shaw, and the impressionists. His essay The Laughter (Le Rire) is one of the most profound and original ever written on the sense of humor. Bergson's opinions, with their emphasis on life, instinct and intuition, represented a deviation from the rationalist mainstream of western philosophical tradition. In some circles he was received with skepticism and irony, as in Bertrand Russel's History of Western Philosophy. Today, unbiased by theoretical "bergsonism," neurophysiologic research--as undertaken mainly by Antonio Damasio's team at Iowa University--confirms many of his hypotheses and elucidates their mechanisms. In this new light, intuition and "recognition by the body" should not be seen as the personal fantasy of an original thinker but as fundamental cognitive tools.  (+info)

The Nobel Prize was established in 1901 using a bequest from Alfred Nobel and is probably the most highly regarded international award. Nobel prizes are currently awarded annually in several categories, including Physiology or Medicine, and winners are termed Nobel Laureates.1 The Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine is awarded for "discovery of major importance in life science or medicine. Discoveries that have changed the scientific paradigm and are of great benefit for mankind are awarded the prize, whereas life time achievements or scientific leadership cannot be considered for the Nobel Prize".1 While many medical researchers have been recognised with the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine, many famous medical researchers over the years did not win a Nobel Prize.

I was beyond thrilled to be selected to represent the university at the 68th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting and to be named a Future Leader in my field by the American Chemical Society CAS SciFinder programme. Unlike traditional conferences, these two meetings were focused on what shapes a scientist and on the importance of science communication, leadership, outreach activities, interdisciplinary science, and global integration. All of these topics are close to my heart as I have advocated for them on internal committees in our department. My proudest moments have always been about lobbying and succeeding in introducing change to internal policies. My recent achievement, along with other committee members, was introducing management trainings for new principal investigators/group leaders. I believe that being great at science and people management are not necessarily related; these trainings will help to further create a better environment for graduate students, ensure their wellbeing, and ...

Abstract Until recently, most of the 24 d-block transition metals had been used primarily as useful materials for (i) construction and also as tools and containers, etc., (Ti, Zr, Fe and their alloys with V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, etc.), (ii) precious and ornamental items (Au, Pt, Ir, Os, Ag, etc.), and (iii) electromagnetic applications (Cu, Nb, Ta, W, Re, etc.). Over the past several decades, their superb properties as chemically useful substances, especially as catalysts for chemical reactions, have been increasingly recognized. "Why are they so useful as catalysts?" In most cases, their superb catalytic properties may be attributed to one or both of the following two: (1) ability to provide simultaneously both filled nonbonding valence-shell orbitals (one or more) and empty valence-shell orbitals (one or more) within thermally stable species and (2) ability to undergo simultaneously both reduction and oxidation under one set of reaction conditions in one reaction vessel. A combination of these two ...

The Nobel Prize is awarded to individuals whose entire lifes work has culminated into knowledge that can be utilized to benefit humanity. But Nobel Prize winners are not child protégés with special training. Like the rest of us, they ventured into their PhD studies with similar goals and worked hard to obtain their degrees. Scientists today hope to make great contributions to society and but are apprehensive of how their failed experiments will impact their careers. The distinction between Nobel Prize winners and the rest of us in science is that they chose to take on more risky projects that may not always lead to successful results. Dr. Ohsumi, who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine this year, took the road less travelled and dedicated his life to an undefined cellular structure with relatively little known function.. "Unfortunately, these days, at least in Japan, young scientists want to get a stable job, so they are afraid to take risks," said Yoshiniro Ohsumi. Dr. Ohsumi ...

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (Swedish: Nobelpriset i fysiologi eller medicin) is awarded annually by the Swedish Karolinska Institute to scientists and doctors in the various fields of physiology or medicine. It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel (who died in 1896), awarded for outstanding contributions in chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] As dictated by Nobels will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by a committee that consists of five members and an executive secretary elected by the Karolinska Institute.[2][3] While commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Nobel specifically stated that the prize be awarded for "physiology or medicine" in his will. Because of this, the prize can be awarded in a broader range of fields.[3] The first Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded in 1901 to Emil Adolf von Behring, of Germany.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1901-2000The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1901-2000
The Nobel Prize awarded by the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet is commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The wording in Alfred Nobels will, however, is Physiology or Medicine. It is important to make this distinction since, in the days of Alfred Nobel, physiology was used to describe what is today a number of biological fields. Interpreting the term physiology or medicine in accordance with the intentions expressed in Alfred Nobels will of 1895, therefore, leaves the Prize-Awarding Institution with considerable freedom to award Prizes in a broad biomedical field as well as in clinical medicine. Although the discussion of what is physiology and what is medicine is likely to continue indefinitely, it is clear that the prize awarder has, on several occasions, applied a broad definition. The prize in 1973 to Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen "for their discoveries concerning organisation and elicitation of individual and social behaviour patterns" could ...
Two ASBMB Members Receive Nobel PrizesTwo ASBMB Members Receive Nobel Prizes
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology received a double dose of excitement last month when not one, but two of its members were honored with Nobel Prizes. The good news began with the announcement that Carol Greider, a professor in the department of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, received one-third of the 2009 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, becoming one of 10 women to have won a Nobel in the category (and one of 40 overall). Just two days later, ASBMB member Thomas Steitz, the Sterling professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry, a professor of chemistry and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Yale University, also received a call from Stockholm informing him that he had been awarded one-third of the 2009 Nobel Prize in chemistry..

A NOBEL PRIZE FOR ANTI-CATHOLICISM - Catholic LeagueA NOBEL PRIZE FOR ANTI-CATHOLICISM - Catholic League
On October 9, the Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature to Dario Fo, the Italian playwright who is most known for his attacks on the Roman Catholic Church. His most famous work, "Mistero Buffo" ("Comic Mystery"), was branded by the Vatican in 1977 as the "most blasphemous show in the history of television"; it is not surprising, then, that the Vatican expressed astonishment when it learned that Fo had been given the Nobel Prize.. William Donohue released the following statement on Fos selection:. "I am well aware of the extent to which literature has become thoroughly politicized and debased in the West. Giving the Nobel Prize in Literature to an anti-Catholic bigot, and to a man who describes his own scatological work as grotesque, settles the issue: the deans of literature enjoy celebrating what the common folk regard as trash.. "It is not accurate to maintain, as one Italian critic did, that this prize means that everything changes, even literature changes. No, for that ...

While inhalation anesthesia was invented in the 19th century, well before the first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1901, major improvements to this medical procedure were developed after the turn of the century, when the inventor and namesake of the famous inhalation mask, Friedrich von Esmarch (1823 to 1908), was still alive. Furthermore, several pioneers in the field of local anesthesia lived throughout the age of the Nobel Prize and therefore had the theoretical chance to become a laureate: Carl Koller (1857 to 1944), Maximilian Oberst (1849 to 1925), Paul Reclus (1847 to 1914), Alfred Einhorn (1857 to 1917), Heinrich Braun (1862 to 1934), August Bier (1861 to 1949), and Carl Ludwig Schleich (1859 to 1922). Some of them were actually nominated, even several times, and their nominations were reviewed by the Nobel Prize Committee for physiology or medicine. Why were none of them successful in the end? Did this happen just by chance? The aim of this article is to discuss these questions on the basis ...

It is the time of the year again. The physics, chemistry, and medicine communities anxiously turn their heads to Stockholm. Who will be awarded the Nobel Prize this year thus lining up with the great figures in the history of science? Some scientists - unfortunately, this year it is again only men that were honored - are likely to spend a sleepless night in anticipation of the awaited call from Stockholm, which is not less than the highlight of an often already outstand scientific career. And like in the case of the movie stars and starlets the announcement is followed by the discussions, who earned the award or who possibly should have earned it instead.. In physics there is no question whether this years awardees deserve the honor. The detection of gravitational waves was a "once-in-twenty-years" event in physics and did not lag much the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 (Nobel Prize 2015) in significance. In fact, there are parallels in the Nobel Prizes for Physics of 2015 and 2017 and ...

One of the consequences of Einsteins theory of gravity is that when gravitational monsters such as black holes shunt their weight around, they should create ripples in the very fabric of spacetime. These ripples are the gravitational waves researchers at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) had been looking for.. In 2016 they rewarded by a discovery that counts as a major milestone in modern physics. Rainer Weiss received one half of the Nobel Prize for his part in the detection of gravitational waves by LIGO, and Barry Barish and Kip Thorne share the other half. "The 2017 Nobel Laureates have, with their enthusiasm and determination, each been invaluable to the success of LIGO. Pioneers Rainer Weiss and Kip S. Thorne, together with Barry C.

1896 Dec 10, Alfred Nobel (63), Swedish Nobel Prize ceremony on this date, died. By the time of his death Nobel had acquired a massive fortune. In his will, he left instructions that the bulk of his estate should endow the annual Nobel prizes for those who had most contributed to the areas of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. In 1968, a sixth award for economics was established [see Nov 27, 1895]. The Nobel Peace Prize is therefore awarded on December 10. The first of the Nobel Prizes was presented in 1901 according to instructions in his will. At his death he was one of the richest men in the world, he also felt it would be wrong to leave his fortune to relatives.

Ig Nobel Prize 2018: How beneficial is eating humans compared to other animals? How to best perform colonoscopy at home? Will stabbing a voodoo doll of your abusive boss help you? There are papers that answer all these questions.On Thursday, Harvards Sanders Theatre hosted the award ceremony of the 28th Ig Nobel Prize, given for the weirdest and funniest scientific research. Some of this years laureates did some really chilling research to win their spots at the event.. Human cannibalism was studied by James Cole, who proved that eating other people is bad. Not in the sense of breaking a taboo, but in the sense that such a diet provides significantly less calories that most other traditional meat diets. But on the other hand it would help you lose weight. He got the Nutrition Prize for it. And no, the study was based on Paleolithic evidence, not modern-day experiments.. Another health-related prize went to Japan, where a group of medics a decade ago penned a paper on how to best perform ...

and musical scores that would have remained under private control for decades will become part of the public domain.. To make the case that the 1998 law should be overturned, Lessigs camp scared up the support of 17 prominent economists, including Milton Friedman and four other Nobel Prize winners. The economists make the undeniable point that extending monopoly protection to works already created provides no incentive to create new ones. Dr. Seuss, for example, is not going to write new Cat in the Hat tales simply because the copyright on the old stories has been extended. After all, he has been dead for 11 years. "This law gives further protection to people who have already invented something," says Timothy F. Bresnahan, a Stanford economist who signed on to the brief. "That gets it exactly backward." What about new work by new artists? The economists say the new law doesnt provide much incentive in this case, either. Bear in mind that most copyright works lose their value quickly; Disney ...

Autism-spectrum quotient - WikipediaAutism-spectrum quotient - Wikipedia
Although most students with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism have average mathematical ability and test slightly worse in mathematics than in general intelligence, some are gifted in mathematics[14] and Asperger syndrome has not prevented some adults from major accomplishments (such as winning the Nobel Prize).[15]. The questionnaire was tried on Cambridge University students and a group of sixteen winners of the British Mathematical Olympiad[10] to determine whether there was a link between a talent for mathematical and scientific disciplines and traits associated with the autism spectrum. Mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering students were found to score significantly higher, e.g., 21.8 on average for mathematicians and 21.4 for computer scientists. The average score for the British Mathematical Olympiad winners was 24. Of the students who scored 32 or more on the test, eleven agreed to be interviewed, and seven of these were reported to meet the DSM-IV criteria for ...
Astronomy in Everyday Life | IAUAstronomy in Everyday Life | IAU
Ahmed Zewali, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1999).. Although we live in a world faced with the many immediate problems of hunger, poverty, energy and global warming, we argue that astronomy has long term benefits that are equally as important to a civilized society. Several studies (see below) have told us that investing in science education, research and technology provides a great return - not only economically, but culturally and indirectly for the population in general - and has helped countries to face and overcome crises. The scientific and technological development of a country or region is closely linked to its human development index - a statistic that is a measure of life expectancy, education and income (Truman, 1949).. There are other works that have contributed to answering the question "Why is astronomy important?" Dr. Robert Aitken, director of Lick Observatory, shows us that even in 1933 there was a need to justify our science, in his paper entitled The Use of Astronomy ...

Executive summary: Radioisotope researcher. Military service: Austro-Hungarian Army (drafted 1915, WWI). Hungarian-Swedish chemist George de Hevesy (sometimes presented as Georg von Hevesy) studied under Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr, and in 1943 he won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. He predicted the existence of a chemical element with 72 protons, and working with Dutch physicist Dirk Coster (1889-1950) he discovered this element, hafnium (Hf), in 1923. In the same year he made the first use of isotopes as tracers in studying chemical processes, leading to development of the radioactive tracer technique still widely used in biological and medical research. In 1926 he began using x-ray fluorescence for mineral analyses.. Father: Louis de Hevesy (Court Counsellor ...

Chronobiology is the study of biological rhythms. It examines the effects of time on biological events and internal biological clocks. Over the past few decades, chronobiology has developed into a multidisciplinary field of interest in general medicine and psychiatry (1). Research on chronobiology is constantly growing and has contributed to the development of an interdisciplinary field of research. The Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2017 was awarded to scientists who investigated molecular mechanisms that control circadian rhythms.. The earths rotation and the daily light-dark or day-night cycle have had long and constant biological impacts on the earths living organisms. Over the long evolutionary process, organisms have developed clock-like structures. These biological clocks help organisms successfully perform their activities over a 24-h cycle. This adaptive ability predicts cyclic changes and allows behavioral and physiological harmonization. These endogenous clocks are useful because they ...
Casa Lapostolle and the Wines of ChileCasa Lapostolle and the Wines of Chile
Hi Jay,. Sure, its always possible that these anecdotes are based on an entirely new field of physics, one that will win someone a Nobel Prize. But lets be honest: thats what they say about every pseudoscience. The problem is that *if* these "forces" existed generally, they would have been detected by people doing experiments for other purposes. (E.g., as I said before, with other liquids at the full moon).. So we have a choice: either there is some different physical law that effects wine in barrels and no other liquids, or people get very superstitious about the full moon. Recall that people have been making false statements about the full moon for a very long time (e.g., that there are more admissions to emergency rooms, etc., which has been proven false in statistical analysis).. Id put it this way: the full moon has a definite effect. Its psychological.. The problem with these "repeated observations" is that they are like the repeated observations of people who claim to get better from ...

This review focused on emerging literature since the previous statement as well as specific areas highlighted for review. The live attenuated varicella vaccine retains the ability to establish latent infection and to cause HZ that may be clinically indistinguishable from wild-type disease [9]. The virus can be activated later in life, returning as shingles. Pharmaceutical companies that produce the vaccines funded all of the included studies. The shingles vaccine contains small amounts of gelatin and neomycin. Patients who developed zoster could experience postherpetic neuralgia or develop nonpain complications that would require the use of health care resources. We identified 13 studies involving 69,916 participants.. The presence of a minor infection is not a reason to delay immunisation.

Diagnostic cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography are considered the gold standard in the assessment of the anatomy and physiology of the heart and its associated vasculature. In 1929, Forssmann demonstrated the feasibility of cardiac catheterization in humans when he passed a urological catheter from a vein in his arm to his right atrium and documented the catheters position in the heart by x-ray. In the 1940s, Cournand and Richards applied this technique to patients with cardiovascular disease to evaluate cardiac function. These three physicians were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1956. In 1958, Sones inadvertently performed the first selective coronary angiography when a catheter in the left ventricle slipped back across the aortic valve, engaged the right coronary artery, and power-injected 40 mL of contrast down the vessel. The resulting angiogram provided superb anatomic detail of the artery, and the patient suffered no adverse effects. Sones went on to develop selective coronary ...

The criticism against Monizs intervention and the decision of the Nobel Prize committee increased quickly after 1949. Despite the often-expressed fundamental reservations about psychosurgical interventions, the technical procedure-that is, that the operations were merely performed by eye-was also discredited. A new stereotactic surgery method was presented in Lisbon as early as 1948, which consisted of a target insertion of the instrument into the brain after prior stereometric determination and calculation of the target area. This procedure allowed the targeting of smaller, more determined brain areas and limiting of lesions of neurosurgical interventions.1,26 However, this technique underwent a longer period of improvement and propagation; thus, "free" leukotomies and lobotomies dominated until at least the mid-1950s. In the early 1960s at the latest, psychosurgery experienced a withdrawal worldwide, mostly as a result of the increasing number of effective psychotropic drugs. Nonetheless, ...

Ozone or O3 is a highly charged oxygen molecule with increased oxygenating properties. It has been around for over 150 years used to treat infections. wounds and multiple diseases.. With higher levels of oxygen in the tissue, bacteria and viruses and defective tissue cells are killed. The healthy cells are stimulated and multiply more rapidly.. Ozone therapies are thought to benefit patients by stimulating white blood cell production, killing viruses, improving oxygenation, helping the body to fight infections and cancers, stimulating the bodys metabolism.. In Germany, ozone therapy has been widely used since the late 1950s. It is widely used by doctors and practitioners as a treatment for a wide range of degenerative conditions including cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, liver, and kidney disease.

We will bear witness to the quiet dignity of reformers like Aung Sang Suu Kyi (what about reformers like Zelaya?); to the bravery of Zimbabweans who cast their ballots in the face of beatings (and the bravery of the honduran people?); to the hundreds of thousands who have marched silently through the streets of Iran (what about the thousands who have marched through the streets of Honduras?), …"It is telling that the leaders of these governments fear the aspirations of their own people more than the power of any other nation (Is he referring to Pepe Lobo?.. I hope so). And it is the responsibility of all free people and free nations to make clear to these movements that hope and history are on their side ...

Collection Policy / Archives / The American School of Classical Studies at AthensCollection Policy / Archives / The American School of Classical Studies at Athens
With the establishment of the Library in 1926, the first collection acquired was that of the founder, John Gennadius, and his father, George Gennadius. Ten years later the family of Heinrich Schliemann, the excavator of Troy and Mycenae, deposited his personal papers in the Gennadius Library. Originally on loan, the papers were purchased in 1962 thanks to a generous grant from the Eli Lilly Endowment. It was the first serious commitment of the American School towards the creation of an organized archival repository at the Gennadius Library. A short time later in 1963, the papers of the famous orchestra conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos were donated to the Library by his literary heirs. The collections continued to grow in importance. In 1971 poet and Nobel laureate George Seferis stipulated in his will that all his manuscripts and papers should come to the Gennadius Library, a wish which was honored by his widow Maro Seferi. These developments were not accidental and it is only befitting to draw ...

Muscle Imbalance, Part 2. - Dr. Phil MaffetoneMuscle Imbalance, Part 2. - Dr. Phil Maffetone
In 1741, French physician Nicolas Andre was one of the first to discuss muscle imbalance in his writings. He coined the term "orthopedia" which means "straight child" and advanced the notion that scoliosis, abnormal curvatures of the spine, was due to muscle imbalance.. - In 1890 French scientist Étienne-Jules Marey made the first recording of a muscles electrical activity, and coined the term electromyography. This would become a common instrument to measure muscle imbalance.. - In 1900, Nobel laureate Sir Charles Scott Sherrington, an English neurophysiologist, proposed his law of reciprocal innervation, which stated that muscle inhibition usually generates tightness in opposite (antagonist) muscles. Despite this notion, most of the therapies associated with muscle imbalance were directed at tight and painful muscles, which, within the tight/weak model of muscle imbalance, were the most symptomatic and easiest to detect. This involved using braces and surgery by many practitioners.. - In ...

Early learning begets future learning and early success breeds future success. She added: "At FNB Namibia we believe that all children have the right to grow up in an environment in which they are enabled to reach their full potential in life: the right to be raised in a family and to have access to quality health care, good nutrition, education, opportunities to play, and protection from harm." ...

(Adnan Abidi/Reuters). In an interview with Reuters, the 71-year-old Nobel Laureate painted a very different picture of Tibet saying that torture and human rights abuses were still the norm.. The Dalai Lama, the head of Tibetan Buddhism and its political struggle, said he was saddened by reports monks had been killed and tortured by Chinese authorities for refusing to denounce him as a separator bent on damaging China..

The Cuban Triangle: Odds and endsThe Cuban Triangle: Odds and ends
Some dissidents spoke up in Cuba in opposition to Rep. Mario Diaz-Balarts effort to repeal President Obamas policy that allows Cuban Americans to visit family and send remittances as they wish. They also called for the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded to the Damas de Blanco, Oscar Elias Biscet, and Oswaldo Paya, something I had missed until I read the blog of Paris-based writer Zoe Valdes, who chided them for seeking a Nobel as if they were asking for "little tubes of deodorant from the ration book booth ...

The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: December 2015The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: December 2015
International royals occasionally attend if one of the laureates is from their country, and two physics laureates with Danish associations that year meant the Danish sovereign couple graced the ceremony with their presence. Such guests are usually seated in the audience, something we last saw when the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg attended in 2011. But in 1975, one year before Queen Silvia and Princess Lilian made their Nobel debuts, I guess there was plenty of room on stage for a fellow Scandinavian monarch. That year was also the 75th anniversary of the Prizes, with a larger ceremony held at a different venue. Let the sideways jewel guessing game commence ...

Nobel winner fears refugee camps closure - Portland Press HeraldNobel winner fears refugee camp's closure - Portland Press Herald
Malala said returning any of the more than 300,000 refugees to Somalia, which is still plagued by extremist violence, should be voluntary. "They should not be forced to move," the advocate for girls education said in an interview with The Associated Press. "As we all know, the camp is going to be closed down soon, so I want to make sure that these girls dont become a generation lost, and there are alternative facilities for them to continue with their education," Malala said.. If the camp is closed and its residents are moved to Somalia where there are few schools, the "girls will be without education," she said, noting that at least they can get an education in the schools inside Dadaab.. Malala urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to take his time in deciding on the fate of the camp and take into consideration the need to provide education.. Dadaab has existed for 25 years, and for many of the refugees there, the sprawling camp is the only home they have known. There are established houses for ...
Cempaka Eco Green: Serge Haroche and David Wineland win physics NobelCempaka Eco Green: Serge Haroche and David Wineland win physics Nobel
Weve called this process the water cycle, since its all about water, not about air. The water is the predominant attribute of Gaia and of the weather cycle youre seeing. More predominant is the temperature of it. The cycle is ice to water and water to ice, and has been repeated on this planet over and over and over. It is not new. It is not exceptional. It is not frightening. But its a cycle that modern humanity has not seen before, and its a long cycle that is beyond the life span of a Human Being. Therefore, it tends to be overlooked or not seen at all !" "In the days of the Lemurians, the water level of the Pacific Ocean was almost 400 feet lower, and thats only 50,000 years ago. [Kryon invites science to check this out - the water level at that time.] That was a water cycle working, and the reason it was lower was due to so much of the water being stored as ice. Today youre going through another water cycle that will eventually lead to cooling. The last one was in the 1400s" ...
