An introduction to the curvature of surfaces
No full textCurvature is fundamental to the study of differential geometry. It describes different geometrical and topological properties of a surface in R3. Two types of curvature are discussed in this paper: intrinsic and extrinsic. Numerous examples are given which motivate definitions, properties and theorems concerning curvature.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 56)by Philip Anthony Baril
Hormones / Anthony W. Norman, Helen L. Henry.
No full textPrevious edition by Anthony W. Norman and Gerald Litwack. 1997.Includes bibliographical references and index.xv, 413 pages :The 3rd edition of Hormones offers a comprehensive treatment of the hormones of humans all viewed from the context of current theories of their action in the framework of our current understanding their physiological actions as well as their molecular structures, and those of their receptors. This new edition of Hormones is intended to be used by advanced undergraduates and graduate students in the biological sciences. It will also provide useful background information for first year medical students as they engage in studies which are increasingly problem-based rather than discipline-focused. As the field of endocrinology itself has expanded so much in the past two decades, the up to date presentation of the basics presented in this book will be a solid foundation on which more specialized considerations can be based.
New to this Edition: Hormones, 3rd Edition is organized with two introductory chapters followed by 15 chapters on selected topics of the molecular biology of the major endocrine systems operative in humans. Coverage, for the first time of the following hormones; ghrelin, oxyntomodulin, kisspeptin, adrenomedullin, FGF23, erythropoietin, VIP and extended coverage of NO. Coverage of the hypothalamus has been integrated with the anterior pituitary because of the intimate functional and relationship between the two. Consideration of the role of hormones in cancer has been integrated into the chapters on the relevant hormones. Each of these areas occupies a unique niche in our understanding of the biological world and is part of the universality of signaling systems and how they govern biological systems

Experimental investigation to identify neuropsychological impairment in convicted paedophile offenders
No full textBACKGROUND. Neuropathological processes affecting the left frontotemporal
lobes and their connections with subcortical structures have been reported
in individuals who sexually assault minors. However, these findings are not
necessarily conclusive, and knowledge is limited as to how such factors influence the
'blocking' adult sexual relations, disinhibition, emotional congruence and sexual
arousal to children; or indeed if functional disorders are more significant. METHOD.
A combination of neuropsychological (LNNB Form II) and personality (MMPI-2)
probes where used to ascertain the profiles of male subjects satisfying DSM-III
criteria for paedophilia, and a comparison was made with male rapist and homicide
offenders to identify a characteristic neuro-behavioural syndrome. All groups were
matched for premorbid intelligence, drug/alcohol abuse, socio-economic status and
incarceration period. Hypotheses of greater dysfunction localised to the lefthemisphere
fronto-temporal lobe areas, and more disturbed personality and
psychopathology in the paedophile offenders were tested. The Multiphasic Sex
Inventory (MSI) was also used to confirm the diagnoses of the sexual offenders and
to assess psychosexual functioning. RESULTS. The offender groups were
undifferentiated in terms of frequency of overall neuropsychological dysfunction, yet
26.8 per cent had clinically significant cognitive impairment, and a further 23.2 per
cent were diagnosed as 'Borderline.' However, pattern of expressive speech and
writing deficits in the paedophile group's LNNB-11 profile was consistent with subclinical
features of Transcortical Motor Aphasia-Type I syndrome (i.e. non-fluent
verbal output - decreased spontaneity of expression and impoverished narrative
speech, but with intact comprehension, repetition of spoken language; clumsily
produced letters and hypereconomy of written content; and apathy). Damage to the
left-hemisphere dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is known to be associated
with this type of aphasia, which in tum increases the probability of dysexecutive
syndrome (i.e. limited planning and maintenance of goal-directed behaviour and
behavioural flexibility). The impact of this syndrome was clearly reflected by socialdeficit
type features found in the paedophile's MMPI-2 48' /84' profile which are
consistent with a schizotypal personality disorder (i.e. apathy, social withdrawal,
constricted affect, odd speech and behaviour). Additionally, psychosexual
functioning, rationalisations and cognitive distortions relating to offence behaviours
was found to be more deviant in paedophiles than rapists. CONCLUSION. From a
developmental perspective, neuropathology of the circuits connecting the
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with sub-cortical areas, presenting as dysexecutive
syndrome, may be significant in explaining the paedophile' s lack of adjustment to,
indifference for, and alienation from the adult world; increasing the probability for
emotional and sexual dependency on children. Several possibilities for future
research are identified and practical uses for the findings of this study are presented
