Paul Grundy began studying engineering at the University of Melbourne in 1953 following his father, who was also an engineer. He graduated as Bachelor of Civil Engineering in 1957, before undertaking a Master of Engineering Science in 1960 also at Melbourne. He then completed a PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1961. He worked for a short time in the industry, taking up positions at Civil & Civic Pty Ltd and Hardcastle & Richards Pty Ltd, Consulting Engineer. In January 1966 he joined the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University where he was variously lecturer, 1966–1968; Senior Lecturer, 1969–1976; Associate Professor, 1977–1993; Head, Department of Civil Engineering, 1996–1998; and Professor, Chair of Structural Engineering, Monash University, 1994–2000; a position he held until retirement in December 2000.

Goldstein got his B.S. at Brooklyn College and his Ph.D at Dartmouth College, where he studied magnetospheric cavity mode resonance, a phenomenon in which the Earth's magnetic field traps electromagnetic waves. As a postdoc at Rice University (2000–2003), Goldstein’s job was to interpret and model the brand-new space weather data being obtained by the IMAGE satellite (launched in March 2000). During his stay at Rice, he also participated in public outreach and education, working with inner city high school algebra teachers to develop space physics problems for use in the classroom, and designing and teaching an eight-week Continuing Studies course in space physics.

As a research fellow Young studied diabetes at the University of Aberdeen and the University of Toronto. At the age of 34 he was awarded his first chair when appointed in 1942 as the Professor of Biochemistry at St Thomas's Hospital Medical School, University of London. Thereafter his advancement was rapid, becoming professor of biochemistry at UCL in 1945 and then, in 1949, being elected as the third Sir William Dunn Professor of Biochemistry at Cambridge University, a post he was to hold for the ensuing 26 years. His Cambridge appointment coincided with his election in March 1949 to Fellowship of the Royal Society.

Anderson attended the University of British Columbia, graduating with a BSc in Microbiology. She then worked with youth with disabilities, sang and played the piano, and spent a year travelling internationally. After seven years, she began studying Medical Genetics, receiving a Ph.D in 2002. After graduation, she accepted a postdoctoral position, researching pre-eclampsia at BC Children's and Women's Hospital and the University of Nottingham. However, while studying pre-eclampsia, she "was forced to take long term disability leave." She began working at the medical department at UBC, tutoring students, and began working on outreach and writing articles for Genome BC. This work led to her current positions at UBC and Science World.

The Executive Committee (EC) is composed of nine (9) elected members, each with a 3 year term. EC members can serve a maximum of two terms. Within the EC, there are positions for Chair, Secretary and Treasurer that are in charge of leading the EC and by extension the membership. Elections for the EC are held on an annual basis. The EC promotes the ISB’s activity to members and non-members, and contributes to the decisions that are taken on behalf of the biocuration community. Additional activities include reviewing microgrant submissions, assisting with organization of the annual Biocuration conference, preparing materials for the ISB election, and maintaining the website.

In 1845, Swiss zoologist Johann Jakob von Tschudi described the new species "Trachylepis (Xystrolepis) punctata" among other species he had collected in Peru. The species was recorded as being from the "forest region" (Amazonia) of Peru and was known from a single specimen, the holotype. In 1887, G.A. Boulenger placed it at an uncertain position within the genus "Mabuia", which included Tschudi's "Trachylepis". In a 1907 reappraisal of some of Tschudi's reptiles and amphibians, J. Roux redescribed "punctata" under the name ""Mabuia punctata"", but did not comment on its affinities. In 1935, E.R. Dunn reviewed some American "Mabuya" and commented that he was unable to tell the identity of "punctata", but that it probably was not a true "Mabuya".

Like the disease name suggests, "Pythium aristosporum" affects the roots of creeping bentgrass. While there are no macroscopic signs, there are a few above and belowground symptoms that plants infected with this disease will exhibit. Aboveground, there will be dieback on the tip of the grass blade and the grass will turn from the lush green to a yellow/brown color typically in circular patches. Symptoms aboveground are secondary, and a result of the necrosis of the roots. Belowground, the roots will die back, turn a pale tan color, and lose their root hairs. These symptoms are systemic, as they involve the whole plant, and the mass of root tissue that is lost is a primary symptom because it is a direct result of the pythium. Listed are all macroscopic symptoms, or ones that can be seen without the use of magnification.

From the early 1980s David Fell switched his research to systems biology and was one of the very earliest systems biologists in the UK, with publications from 1979 onwards. The other notable systems biologist at time was Henrik Kacser at the University of Edinburgh. Given that his early work had a significant mathematical and computational component, he was ideally positioned to consider a more quantitative approach to studying the properties of cellular networks. It was against this background that he turned to the relatively new field called metabolic control analysis as a means to understand the principles of metabolic regulation. Before the development of metabolic control analysis, understanding metabolism was based on qualitative arguments which resulted in some incorrect conclusions (Rate limiting steps). Much of Fell's research for the next 20 years focused on extending and applying metabolic control analysis to metabolism. This work culminated in the publication of his textbook, "Understanding the control of metabolism". In 1986 he published with his graduate student Rankin Small, one of the earliest flux balance models where they used linear programming to examine the efficiency in the conversion of glucose into fat. He was also one of the first researchers to use the Gillespie method for stochastic simulation in cellular biology, a method that is now routinely used in systems biology. In the late 1990s his research started shifting more towards stoichiometric analysis with particular emphasis on elementary modes and the analysis of larger networks such as those involved in photosynthesis and whole genome scale models in a variety of organisms including one of the first genome scale models of "Arabidopsis".

For the comparison of two currents, these are fed through two wires which are led through a superconducting tube. The Meissner effect induces a screening current on the inner surface of the tube, flowing opposite to and being exactly as large as the sum of the currents inside the tube. Thus, this shielding current exactly cancels the magnetic field inside the tube produced by the currents in the wires. The screening current flows back across the outer surface of the tube, giving rise to a magnetic field in the room outside of the tube. This field is detected by a highly sensitive magnetometer, acting as a null detector. The signal of this null detector thus is a measure for the equality of the currents; in particular, it is zero if the two currents are of exactly equal magnitude. The important and crucial point characterizing the CCC is the fact that the magnitude of the screening current and its distribution on the surface of the superconducting screen is independent of the position and the path of the wires inside the tube.

The mid-fusiform sulcus was first identified in 1896 by Gustav Retzius. Retzius is known for many other discoveries such as Cajal-Retzius cells. He first identified the MFS as the sulcus sagittalis gyri fusiformis. Since his label, there have been several other proposed labels, but the MFS nomenclature is the most widely accepted in present day.
