Designing Physical Unclonable Functions From Optically Active Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Assigning unforgeable “fingerprints” to manufactured goods is a key strategy to fight global counterfeiting. Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are chemically generated random patterns of optically active materials serving as unique authenticators.

The Population Genetic Signature of Polygenic Local Adaptation
, 2014 Adaptation in response to selection on polygenic phenotypes may occur via subtle allele frequencies shifts at many loci. Current population genomic techniques are not well posed to identify such signals.

Segmental pigmentation disorder
Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1983 Pigmentary changes with a dermatomal distribution are described in 30 children. The disorder, up to now unrecognized as an entity, is apparently caused by an embryological determination. It is more obvious in children with darker skin, and seems to fade very slowly over the years. In our experience the incidence is 0.35%. No relation to other anomalies

Gel chromatographic characterization of immunoreactive adrenocorticotropin in patients with ACTH hypersecretion [PDF]
, 1989 We investigated the molecular size of circulating immunoreactive ACTH by gel chromatography in patients with ACTH hypersecretion due to various disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
