DNA is the presumed target for a number of clinically useful anticancer drugs. In this review,
Laurence Hurley and Leslie Boyd discuss the appro~ ri~ terl~ ss of the term preceptor* for …

Almost immediately after the discovery of kimberlites, the atten tion of investigators was attracted
to their unusual mineralogy. It has been established that, besides the fragments caught …

A suite of peridotite xenoliths from kimberlites intruding the Siberian craton indicate the
presence of lithospheric mantle over 150 km thick at 350 Ma. We report Sr-Nd isotope data for …
