A note on the (1, 1,..., 1) monopole metric
Recently K. Lee, E.J. Weinberg and P. Yi in CU-TP-739, hep-th/9602167,
calculated the asymptotic metric on the moduli space of (1, 1, ..., 1) BPS
monopoles and conjectured that it was globally exact. I lend support to this
conjecture by showing that the metric on the corresponding space of Nahm data
is the same as the metric they calculate.Comment: 12 pages, latex, no figures, uses amsmath, amsthm, amsfont

The molecular cloning and characterisation of cDNA coding for the alpha subunit of the acetylcholine receptor
The published version of this article is available at Oxford Journals in Nucleic Acids Research at
http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/10/19/5809.full.pdf+htmlA rare cDNA coding for most of the α subunit of the Torpedo nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has been cloned into bacteria. The use of a mismatched oligonucleotide primer of reverse transcriptase facilitated the design of an efficient, specific probe for recombinant bacteria. DNA sequence analysis has enabled the elucidation of a large part of the polypeptide primary sequence which is discussed in relation to its acetylcholine binding activity and the location of receptor within the plasma membrane.
When used as a radioactive probe, the cloned cDNA binds specifically to a single Torpedo mRNA species of about 2350 nucleotides in length but fails to show significant cross-hybridisation with a subunit mRNA extracted from cat muscle

Why the Universe Started from a Low Entropy State
We show that the inclusion of backreaction of massive long wavelengths
imposes dynamical constraints on the allowed phase space of initial conditions
for inflation, which results in a superselection rule for the initial
conditions. Only high energy inflation is stable against collapse due to the
gravitational instability of massive perturbations. We present arguments to the
effect that the initial conditions problem {\it cannot} be meaningfully
addressed by thermostatistics as far as the gravitational degrees of freedom
are concerned. Rather, the choice of the initial conditions for the universe in
the phase space and the emergence of an arrow of time have to be treated as a
dynamic selection.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figs. Final version; agrees with accepted version in
