I. P. Pavlov, the great Russian physiologist, the founder of a leading scientific school of physiology, first Russian scientist to be awarded the Nobel Prize. Pavlov's work received wide international recognition. He was elected full or honorary member of more than 120 academies, scientific societies and universities. In 1907 he was elected a Full Member (Academician) of Russian Academy of Sciences and headed the Physiological Laboratory of the Academy. In 1925, at his petition, the Laboratory was transformed into the Physiological Institute, remaining his head until 1936, when he had died. Since 1950 this is the Pavlov Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 相似文献

Edouard Chatton (1883–1947) began his scientific career in the Pasteur Institute, where he made several important discoveries
regarding pathogenic protists (trypanosomids, Plasmodium, toxoplasms, Leishmania). In 1908 he married a "Banyulencque", Marie Herre; from 1920, he focused his research on marine protists. He finished his
career as Professor at the Sorbonne (Paris) and director of the Laboratoire Arago in Banyuls-sur-mer, where he died in 1947.
André Lwoff (1902–1994) lived several scientific lives in addition to his artistic and family life. But it is the study of
protists that filled his first life after he encountered the exceptional Master who was Chatton. Lwoff's father was a psychiatrist
and his mother an artist sculptor. He became a Doctor of Medicine in 1927 and then a Doctor of Sciences in 1932, his thesis
dealing with biochemical aspects of protozoa nutrition. He met Chatton in 1921 and – until Chatton's death – their meetings,
first in Roscoff and then in Banyuls-sur-mer, were numerous and their collaboration very close. Their monograph on apostome
ciliates was one of the peaks of this collaboration. In 1938, Lwoff was made director of the Microbial Physiology Department
at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, where he began a new life devoted to bacteria, and then to viruses, before pursuing his
career as director of the Cancer Research Institute in Villejuif (France). Lwoff was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology
or Medicine in 1965. He died in Banyuls in 1994. "Master" and "pupil" had in common perseverance in their scientific work,
conception and observation, a critical sense and rigor but also a great artistic sensibility that painting and drawing in
the exceptional surroundings of Banyuls-sur-mer had fulfilled.

Oster G 《Current biology : CB》2005,15(1):R5-R7
George Oster is Professor of Biophysics, University of California, Berkeley. He received his B.S. at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and his Ph.D. at Columbia University. He began his career in biophysics as a postdoc at the Weizmann Institute under Aharon Katchalsky, where his research involved membrane biophysics and irreversible thermodynamics. His concern for environmental issues led him into population biology, which shaded into evolutionary biology and thence to developmental biology, cell biology and, most recently, protein motors and bacterial motility and pattern formation. His tools are mathematics, physics and computer simulation. He is currently a faculty member in the Departments of Molecular and Cellular Biology and the College of Natural Resources at Berkeley. 相似文献

The paper reviews the life of Paul Ehrlich and his biomedical accomplishments in immunology, cancer research, and chemotherapy. Ehrlich achieved renown as an organic chemist, histologist, hematologist, immunologist, and pharmacologist. He disliked the formality of school but managed to excel in Latin and mathematics. His role model was an older cousin, Carl Welgert, who became a lifelong friend. Ehrlich studied medicine at Breslau, Strasbourg, Freiburg, and Leipzig, coming under the influence of Wilhelm Waldeyer, Julius Cohnheim, Rudolf Heidenhein, and Ferdinand Cohn. As a medical student, Ehrlich was captivated by structural organic chemistry and dyes. When he was 23, his first paper was published on selective staining. His doctoral thesis, “Contribution to the Theory and Practice of Histological Staining” contained most of the germinal ideas that would guide his future career. Most of his early work was centered in Berlin at Charité Hospital, where he did pioneering studies on blood and intravital staining, and at Robert Koch's Institute for Infectious Diseases, where he undertook important investigations in Immunology. Ehrlich became an authority on antitoxin standardization and developed the “side-chain theory” of antibody formation for which he was later awarded the Nobel Prize. He became director of an Institute for Experimental Therapy in Frankfurt where he continued research in immunology and carried out routine serum testing. He developed new lines of investigation in cancer research and originated the field of chemotherapy. Using principles developed in his early work with dyes, he successfully treated certain experimental trypanosomal infections with azo dyes. His crowning accomplishment was discovering that the compound Salvarsan could control human syphilis. Ehrlich's legacy in immunology and chemotherapy is discussed and an intimate portrait is drawn of Ehrlich the person. 相似文献

Lorenz Hiltner, a pioneer in rhizosphere microbial ecology and soil bacteriology research 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lorenz Hiltner is recognized as the first scientist to coin the term “rhizosphere” in 1904. His scientific career and achievements are summarized in this essay. Most of his research he performed in the Bavarian Agriculture–Botanical Institute (later named the “Bavarian Institute of Plant Growth and Plant Protection”) in Munich, where he was the director from 1902 to 1923. Beginning with intensive and thorough investigations on the germination and growth of different crop plants (legumes and non-legumes) Hiltner became convinced, that root exudates of different plants support the development of different bacterial communities. His definition of the “rhizosphere” in the year 1904 centered on the idea, that plant nutrition is considerably influenced by the microbial composition of the rhizosphere. Hiltner observed bacterial cells even inside the rhizodermis of healthy roots. In analogy with fungal root symbionts, Hiltner named the bacterial community that is closely associated with roots “bacteriorhiza.” In his rhizosphere concept, Hiltner also envisioned, that beneficial bacteria are not only attracted by the root exudates but that there are also “uninvited guests,” that adjust to the specific root exudates. Based on his observations he hypothesized that “the resistance of plants towards pathogenesis is dependent on the composition of the rhizosphere microflora.” He even had the idea, that the quality of plant products may be dependent on the composition of the root microflora. In addition to his scientific achievements, Hiltner was very dedicated to applied work. Together with F. Nobbe he had the first patent on Rhizobium inoculants (Nitragin). He continuously improved formulations and the effectivity of the Rhizobium preparations and he also initiated seed dressing with sublimate for plant protection of seedlings. Thus, Hiltner tightly linked breakthroughs in basic research to improved rhizosphere management practices. In addition, he wrote a pioneering monograph on plant protection for everybody’s practical use. His emphasis on understanding microbes in the context of their micro-habitat, the rhizosphere, made him a pioneer in microbial ecology. Even now, in the era of genome and postgenome analysis with our better understanding of plant nutrition and soil bacteriology, his ideas and contributions are as fresh as they were more than 100 years ago. 相似文献

In 1866, at the C. Ludwig's laboratory, E. F. Cyon discovered n. depressor, and after C. Bernard's presentation he was awarded with the Montion Prize of the Paris Academy of Sciences. In 1867, together with his brother M. Cyon, he discovered nn. accelerantes of heart, which increase the heart rate when being stimulated. From 1868 to 1874 he was a privatdocent an professor of physiology at Saint-Petersburg University, where under his guidance I.P. Pavlov mastered the brilliant technique of vivisection experiment and accomplished his first works on the physiology of circulation and digestion. From 1872 to 1874 E. F. Cyon was physiology professor at Saint-Petersburg Medical-Surgical Academy. He published "Course of Physiology" in 2 volumes, the official speech "Heart and Brain" and others, proposed an original theory of inhibition, improved the reflex theory. He published 197 works, including 151 in German and French. I. P. Pavlov paid a worthy tribute to his teacher and continued the main direction of his investigations. 相似文献

This dedication marks the retirement of Prof. Dr J. Ringelberg from the University of Amsterdam. In this article his contributions to the aquatic ecology in the Netherlands are reviewed. After his Ph.D. study on The positively phototactic reaction of Daphnia magna Straus, a contribution to the understanding of diurnal vertical migration (1964), Joop Ringelberg became associate professor at the Laboratory of Animal Physiology of the University of Amsterdam. He started at the university the research group of Experimental Hydrobiology. From 1965 to the 1980s he played a very important role in the development of experimental ecology and ecosystem research in the aquatic habitats in the Netherlands. During the last ten or twelve years of his scientific career (1985- to date) Dr Ringelberg returned to his old hobby horse the Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) of zooplankton, especially daphnids. Intensive field and laboratory studies during these later years, helped him and his students to get a deeper insight into DVM behaviour of the daphnids, in response to the rates of changes in light intensity in close conjunction with release of predator (fish) kairomones. In addition, Ringelberg initiated the use of micro-ecosystems and was leader of a team that has developed a flowcytometer, especially for quantitative and pigment analyses of phytoplankton. His other landmark achievements, national and international, included the chairmanship of the Dutch Hydrobiological Society and of the Aquatic Ecology division of BION (Biological Research in the Netherlands). He was a national representative of SIL (International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology) and during ten years a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Max Planck Institute for Limnology at Plön, Germany. As a guest scientist he is still continuing his scientific pursuits at the Centre of Limnology, Nieuwersluis. 相似文献

Alfred Russel Wallace The British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913), well known as co‐discoverer of the “Darwinian” principle of natural selection, came from an ordinary background. Wallace left school aged 14 and never attended University. He became a land surveyor and studied, in his spare time, the works of the most famous naturalists of his age. After extensive expeditions (Amazon, 1848–1852; Southeast Asia, 1854–1862), Wallace spent the rest of his life in England as a free‐lance science writer. His contributions to systematics (he discovered/described many new species), evolutionary biology, zoogeography, anthropology and other branches of the live sciences are summarized in his 22 books and ca. 700 papers. Since Wallace became an adherent of spiritualism and mixed up supernatural phenomena with scientific facts in some of his later books, he remains a controversial figure in the history of the life sciences. 相似文献

Impact of Admission and Cache Replacement Policies on Response Times of Jobs on Data Grids 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Caching techniques have been used widely to improve the performance gaps of storage hierarchies in computing systems. Little
is known about the impact of policies on the response times of jobs that access and process very large files in data grids,
particularly when data and computations on the data have to be co-located on the same host. In data intensive applications
that access large data files over wide area network environment, such as data-grids, the combination of policies for job servicing
(or scheduling), caching and cache replacement can significantly impact the performance of grid jobs. We present preliminary
results of a simulation study that combines an admission policy with a cache replacement policy when servicing jobs submitted
to a storage resource manager.The results show that, in comparison to a first come first serve policy, the response times
of jobs are significantly improved, for practical limits of disk cache sizes, when the jobs that are back-logged to access
the same files are taken into consideration in scheduling the next file to be retrieved into the disk cache. Not only are
the response times of jobs improved, but also the metric measures for caching policies, such as the hit ratio and the average
cost per retrieval, are improved irrespective of the cache replacement policy used.

Bluetooth polling, also referred to as Bluetooth MAC scheduling or intra-piconet scheduling, is the mechanism that schedules the traffic between the participants in a Bluetooth network. Hence, this mechanism is highly determining with respect to the delay packets experience in a Bluetooth network. In this paper, we present a polling mechanism that provides delay guarantees in an efficient manner, and we evaluate this polling mechanism by means of simulation. It is shown that this polling mechanism is able to provide delay guarantees while saving as much as possible resources, which can be used for transmission of best effort traffic or for retransmissions.Rachid Ait Yaiz (1974) received his BS in Electrical Engineering from the Technische Hogeschool Arnhem, the Netherlands, in 1996 and his MSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Twente, the Netherlands, in 1999.

Professor T. C. Tung (Fig. 1) was a prominent experimental embryologist in China. He was born in Jin County, Zhejiang Province, China in 1902. After he obtained his Bachelor's degree from the Department of Biology, Fudan University, Shanghai in 1927, he was appointed as a teaching assistant in that department until he moved to Belgium in 1930. He studied as a graduate student in Professors A. Brachet and A. M. Dalcq's laboratory at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium and obtained his Doctor of Science degree there in 1934. During that period, he made two short working visits to the Institute of Marine Biology in France and took one training course at Cambridge University (UK). In 1934, he was invited to return to China as a Full Professor to teach at several Chinese universities, (Shandong University in Qingdao, Shandong Province; the National University in Nanjing; and Fudan University in Shanghai). He spent 1 year at Yale University (USA) between 1948 and 1949 as an invited scientist in a joint research project and finally returned to China in 1949. He was Chairman of the Department of Zoology, Shandong University in Qingdao (1949-1952), Vice-President of Shandong University (1952-1960), Director of the Marine Biological Institute, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Qingdao (1949-1958), Director of the Institute of Oceanology (CAS) in Qingdao (1959-1966), Director of the Institute of Zoology (CAS) in Beijing (1960-1962), member of CAS since 1955, Vice-Chairman of the Biological and Geographical Division of CAS (1955-1958), Chairman of the Biological Division of CAS (1959-1979) and Vice-President of CAS in Beijing (1978-1979). In spite of his administrative duties, he spent most of his life conducting bench work in his laboratories at the Institutes of Oceanology and Zoology, CAS, respectively, until he passed away in March 1979. Professor Tung's main research interest was with classic experimental studies on the determination of the egg axis and symmetry planes of fertilized eggs, early differentiation and organizing substances of egg cytoplasm, induction between embryonic cells and cytoplasm in embryogenesis, immunological studies on nuclear transplanted eggs, and cell fusion etc., in several types of animals. He conducted his experiments on a number of invertebrates (ascidians and Amphioxus) and vertebrates (fish and amphibians) by means of very skillful microsurgical operations and the nuclear transplantation method. Among these topics, his studies on the organization and developmental potency of Amphioxus eggs were unique. His important contribution to this research field involved not only establishing a practical method for collecting and using this rare animal for experimental purposes, but also clarifying controversy about the nature and early development of its eggs. He also provided conclusive evidence to determine its evolutionary position between invertebrates and vertebrates. The present article briefly reviews the main results obtained by Professor Tung and his colleagues on Amphioxus. Although their original articles were written both in Chinese and English, many international readers may not even know those original works because they were only published in scientific journals inside China from the 1950s. Comments and discussion on the experimental results of Amphioxus research by Tung's group and those from other earlier authors are also included. 相似文献

Discovering likely invariants of distributed transaction systems for autonomic system management 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Large amount of monitoring data can be collected from distributed systems as the observables to analyze system behaviors.
However, without reasonable models to characterize systems, we can hardly interpret such monitoring data effectively for system
management. In this paper, a new concept named flow intensity is introduced to measure the intensity with which internal monitoring
data reacts to the volume of user requests in distributed transaction systems. We propose a novel approach to automatically
model and search relationships between the flow intensities measured at various points across the system. If the modeled relationships
hold all the time, they are regarded as invariants of the underlying system. Experimental results from a real system demonstrate
that such invariants widely exist in distributed transaction systems. Further we discuss how such invariants can be used to
characterize complex systems and support autonomic system management.
