(Plates I. and II.) DOUBTLESS it may be thought that I have presumed rathe1" far in attempting to give an account of the geographical distribution of cancer in Scotland. I have, however, guarded myself against any such rashness by entitling this commufl1' cation, " A Contribution to the Study of the Local Distribution of Cancer in Scotland." I cannot find that such an inquiry has attracted the ...

I became a Jacobean under the influence of Colleen M. Kelley, who had just returned to Williams College from a year’s sabbatical with Larry (at McMaster) when I started at Williams in 1987. Colleen and I immediately began collaborating on research inspired by the ideas so beautifully articulated in Jacoby, Kelley, and Dywan’s (1989) chapter on an attribution-making approach to the subjective ex...

[The following memoranda have been derived almost exclusively from passing notices in the domestic, literary and professional journals of the day. The sketch is consequently very imperfect, and makes no pretention to anything like an accurate record of the geographical distribution of the diseases mentioned. Additional materials would doubtless have been found, had the numerous medical periodic...

as Ph.D., D.C.L., LL.D.! However, his status as a Commissioner of Deeds for various States of the Union was ended by the commissions being revoked, and he was compelled to return his " papers," which had to do with an institution that had taken over the business of the Western University of Illinois, which in its turn was, through one Henry Clough, connected with an equally fraudulent degree-mi...

Sir,?As a regular reader of your esteemed journal I want to draw your attention to a small error in your Editorial in the June 1947 issue (page 346), where under the heading 'The Twin Dominions and the Indian Medical Gazette' you state : 'The first number of this publication appeared in 1860 This journal is the oldest medical monthly of the Eastern hemisphere . . . Doubtless this is true as reg...

phthisis is simply bronchitis for many months, and then becomes tuberculous by inoculation into a suitable soil. Doubtless tuberculous mischief may exist in the lung for l?ng periods anterior to the manifestation of catarrhal symptoms, and at the very earliest stage of many cases, even anterior to the manifestation of physical signs of disease in the lung, the sputum may be found to contain mul...

At present, the best way to render textured pointsampled 3D objects is doubtless the use of elliptical weighted average (EWA) surface splatting. This technique provides a high quality rendering of complex point models with anisotropic texture filtering. In this paper we present a new multi-pass approach to perform EWA surface splatting on modern PC graphics hardware. The main advantage of our a...

The act of persuading other people to adopt an acceptable opinion, and perhaps as a result, to do something we want them to, forms a huge part of our lives. Indeed this skill and the equally important one of being willing to listen to reason and be persuaded could be said to be at the core of what we term society. To what extent can we represent this social process mathematically? The concerned...

The use of biomarkers has proven utility in cardiovascular medicine and holds great promise for future advances, but their application requires considerable rigor in thinking and methodology. Numerous confounding factors can cloud the clinical and investigative uses of biomarkers. Yet, the thoughtful and critical use of biomarkers can doubtless aid discovery of new pathogenic pathways, identify...

The Web Services infrastructure is a distributed computing environment for service-sharing. Mechanisms for Web services Discovery proposed so far have assumed a centralized and peer-to-peer (P2P) registry. A discovery service with centralized architecture, such as UDDI, restricts the scalability of this environment, induces performance bottleneck and may result in single points of failure. A di...
