    Description / Table of Contents: Describing the development of dark matter theory, this book shows why it is now a central feature of extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. This fascinating overview will interest cosmologists, astronomers and particle physicists. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, so the book can be understood by non-specialists.

    Notes: Protozoa are now being recognized as important members of planktonic food webs. This is due to the inclusion of microbial links in our paradigm of trophic relationships. Heterotrophic microflagellates and ciliates are major grazers of bacteria. They can stimulate production through nutrient recycling and can transform microbial production into larger particles, which are then available for macroconsumers. In this paper we add new groups, the small (〈 20 μm) ciliates and myxotrophic flagellates, to the planktonic food web.

    Notes: Some protists from both marine and freshwater environments function at more than one trophic level by combining photosynthesis and panicle ingestion. Photosynthetic algae from several taxa (most commonly chrysomonads and dinoflagellates) have been reported to ingest living prey or nonliving particles, presumably obtaining part of their carbon and/or nutrients from phagocytosis. Conversely, some ciliates and sarcodines sequester chloroplasts after ingestion of algal prey. Plastid retention or “chloroplast symbiosis” by protists was first demonstrated 〈 20 years ago in a benthic foraminiferan. Although chloroplasts do not divide within these mixotrophic protists, they continue to function photosynthetically and may contribute to nutrition. Sarcodines and ciliates that harbor endosymbiotic algae could be considered mixotrophic but are not covered in detail here. the role of mixotrophy in the growth of protists and the impact of their grazing on prey populations have received increasing attention. Mixotrophic protists vary in their photosynthetic and ingestion capabilities, and thus, in the relative contribution of photosynthesis and phagotrophy to their nutrition. Abundant in both marine and freshwaters, they are potentially important predators of algae and bacteria in some systems. Mixotrophy may make a stronger link between the microbial and classic planktonic food webs by increasing trophic efficiency.

    Notes: Introduction: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation has proven to be an effective therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, clinical evidence suggests that suppression of AF after PV isolation could not be fully attributed to the interruption of electrical conduction in and out of the PVs. Furthermore, little is known regarding the effects of ablation around the PVs on the atrial electrophysiological properties. We aimed to study the changes in atrial response to vagal stimulation (VS) after PV ablation (PVA). Methods: We studied 11 adult mongrel dogs under general anesthesia. Bilateral cervical sympathovagal trunks were decentralized. Propranolol was given to block sympathetic effects. Multipolar catheters were placed into right atrial appendage (RAA), distal and proximal coronary sinus (CSD, CSP), and left atrial free wall (LAFW). PVA was performed via trans-septal approach. Atrial effective refractory period (AERP) and vulnerability window (VW) of AF were measured with and without VS before and after ablation to isolate the PVs. Results: After ablation, AERP shortening in response to VS significantly decreased in the left atrium (43.64 ± 21.57 vs 11.82 ± 9.82 msec, P 〈 0.001 at LAFW; 50.91 ± 26.25 vs 11.82 ± 14.01 msec, P 〈 0.001 at CSP; 50 ± 31.94 vs 17.27 ± 20.54 msec, P 〈 0.005 at CSD), while the response to VS did not change significantly at RAA (58.18 ± 28.22 vs 50.91 ± 22.12 msec, P = 0.245). After ablation, atrial fibrillation VW during VS narrowed (20.63 ± 11.48 vs 5.63 ± 8.63 msec, P 〈 0.03 at LAFW; 26.25 ± 12.46 vs 5.00 ± 9.64 msec, P = 0.001 at CSP; 28.75 ± 18.47 vs 6.88 ± 7.53 msec, P 〈 0.02 at CSD, and 33.75 ± 24.5 vs 16.25 ± 9.91 msec, P = 0.03 at RAA). Conclusions: Ablation around the PV ostia diminishes left atrial response to VS and decreases the atrial VW. The attenuated vagal response after ablation may contribute to the suppression of AF.

    Notes: Abstract Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is an empirically motivated modification of Newtonian gravity or inertia suggested by Milgrom as an alternative to cosmic dark matter. The basic idea is that at accelerations below ao= 10-8 cm/s2=cHo/6 the effective gravitational attraction approaches , where gn is the usual Newtonian acceleration. This simple algorithm yields flat rotation curves for spiral galaxies and a mass-rotation velocity relation of the form MV4 that forms the basis for the observed luminosity-rotation velocity relation-the Tully-Fisher law. We review the phenomenological success of MOND on scales ranging from dwarf spheroidal galaxies to superclusters and demonstrate that the evidence for dark matter can be equally well interpreted as evidence for MOND. We discuss the possible physical basis for an acceleration-based modification of Newtonian dynamics as well as the extention of MOND to cosmology and structure formation.
