Alexander Brunschwig--110 years from birth September 11, 1901 - August 7, 1969.

Alexander Brunschwig was very important person in surgical oncology during the 20th century. He helped Maximow and Bloom to write their well-known histology text "A text-book of histology", he was the first to do a one-stage radical pancreatoduodenectomy and pelvic exenteration. Doctor Alexander Brunschwig was born in El Paso, Texas, on September 11, 1901.

Finite-temperature large acoustic polaron dynamics in quasi-one-dimensional molecular crystals.

We report the results of theoretical examinations of large polaron motion in one-dimensional (1D) molecular crystals under the influence of thermal fluctuations of the host lattice and constant electric field. Such a situation may arise in biological macromolecules such as an alpha helix where charge (electron) transfer may be achieved by a polaron (soliton) mechanism. In that case, the electric field represents the effective endogenous electric field which is always present in realistic conditions.
