Extractions: SERIES II: CORRESPONDENCE The correspondence takes up approximately one-third of the Julian Huxley Papers. The files are extensive, and have been divided into two series: one consisting of correspondence form family members; the other, all other correspondence, including those letters listed in the index. It is a large and important correspondence including the names of some of the most significant cultural, political and scientific figures of our time. Moreover, the content is substantive, chronicling the immense variety of Huxley's interests and the influence which he exerted in the fields of science and culture. The series containing the FAMILY CORRESPONDENCE consists of the lifetime correspondence with members of his large and talented family, except for some letters retained by the family. There are, for example, none from his grandfather Thomas Henry Huxley, and few from his brother Aldous. There are, however, letters from his brother Trevenen, his sister Margaret, his half-brothers David and Andrew and from his numerous Arnold, Arnold-Forster and Eckersley relatives. The family correspondence is filed in alphabetical order according to the name of the family member. A family tree appears in the index to this guide and a card file of family members is included in the first box in this series. Family correspondence is often addressed to both Sir Julian and his wife, or to Juliette individually. These letters are filed among those addressed to Huxley alone.

Andrew Huxley Biography .ms andrew huxley. sir andrew fielding huxley OM (born 22 November 1917, Hampstead,London, England, UK) is a British physiologist and biophysicist, http://andrew-fielding-huxley.biography.ms/
Extractions: Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley OM (born 22 November Hampstead London England ... UK ) is a British physiologist and biophysicist , who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work with Alan Lloyd Hodgkin on the basis of nerve " action potentials ," the electrical impulses that enable the activity of an organism to be coordinated by a central nervous system . Hodgkin and Huxley shared the prize that year with John Carew Eccles , who was cited for research on synapses . Hodgkin and Huxley's findings led the pair to hypothesize ion channels , which were confirmed only decades later. The experimental measurements on which the pair based their action potential theory represent one of the earliest applications of a technique of electrophysiology known as the "voltage clamp". The second critical element of their research was the so-called giant axon of Atlantic squid ( Loligo pealei ), which enabled them to record ionic currents as they would not have been able to do in almost any other neuron , such cells being too small to study by the techniques of the time. The experiments took place at the University of Cambridge beginning in the and continuing into the , after interruption by World War II . The pair published their theory in . He currently maintains his position as a fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge

'Coin Of The Realm'; Equation Named For George Zahalak named the huxleyZahalak Equation, for him and sir andrew fielding huxley.Authors Marcello Epstein and Walter Herzog named the equation for huxley http://record.wustl.edu/archive/2000/02-17-00/articles/zahalak.html
Extractions: George Zahalak, Eng., ScD. (right), professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, and Afshin Shiravi, an electrical engineering graduate student, observe the output of the "Huxley-Zahalak Equation," which models mathematically the interaction between the proteins actin and myosin, the basis for the contraction of skeletal muscle and other tissues. Zahalak has been recognized for his role in the equation in a recently published book on muscle mechanics. George I. Zahalak, Eng.ScD., professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, has received a singular honor: A fundamental equation in the molecular theory of muscle contraction has been named the "Huxley-Zahalak Equation," for him and Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley. Authors Marcello Epstein and Walter Herzog named the equation for Huxley and Zahalak in their book, "Theoretical Models of Skeletal Muscle: Biological and Mathematical Considerations," published by John Wiley and Sons, New York. Huxley shared a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1963 for work he did with collaborators on the transmission of neural signals. According to Zahalak, Huxley is perhaps best known in biomedical and engineering sciences for the Hodgkin-Huxley Equations, which made possible a detailed quantitative understanding of neural conduction based on sound biophysical data.

Extractions: "Professor Zahalak's research was leading-edge in terms of how muscles behaved and it could lead to help many people who had muscle disorders," said David A. Peters, Ph.D., the McDonnell Douglas Professor of Engineering and chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. "He was a great professor in our department, he stood for excellence in academics, research and every area in which we were involved, and we will miss him." "As I got to know him better, there were a number of characteristics that impressed me about George," said Salvatore P. Sutera, Ph.D., the Spencer T. Olin Professor, professor of biomedical engineering and chair of mechanical engineering at the time of Zahalak's hiring. "He had a reserved but very scholarly demeanor, but was highly sophisticated in nonscientific areas like art, music, languages, international affairs and haute cuisine.
