WHEN I first embarked on the preparation of this address it was with the idea that Spencer Wells was the key figure in the development of ovariotomy-the operation for removal of an ovarian cyst. Possibly this may be true, but I soon discovered how much credit must be given to other workers in this field. It all began in 1809. It was in that year that a courageous woman-Jane Crawford-submitted t...

This paper examines the unregulated approach to video evidence in U.S. courts. It provides an overview of three key factors that contribute inconsistent treatment as evidence: shifting and uncertain categories under which is admitted evidence, discrepancies how perceived interpreted, lack widespread legal training visual literacy. Together, these exacerbate challenges perception interpretation ...

The subjects of nutrient partition during lactation in ruminants and the hormonal control of the relevant aspects of metabolism, particularly in relation to blood hormone concentrations, have been extensively reviewed (Convey, 1974; Bassett, 1978; Bines & Hart, 1978; Trenkle, 1978, 1981; Bauman & Currie, 1980; Bell, 1980; Cowie et al. 1980; McDowell, 1983). The purpose of this paper is to descr...

logic circuits for high-speed low-power circuit design W. Belluomini D. Jamsek A. K. Martin C. McDowell R. K. Montoye H. C. Ngo J. Sawada This paper describes a new circuit family—limited switch dynamic logic (LSDL). LSDL is a hybrid between a dynamic circuit and a static latch that combines the desirable properties of both circuit families. The paper also describes many enhancements and extens...

An adult female with typical features of Silver-Russell dwarfism gave birth to a viable infant. Despite the abnormalities in sexual development that may be associated with the Silver-Russell syndrome, fertility is not necessarily impaired, at least in females. The growth and development of children with the Silver-Russell syndrome have been studied (Silver, 1964; Tanner et al., 1975). There is,...

This study examines the marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) and its components horizontally, and marginal vertical intra-industry trade (MVIIT) applied to the United States. We present an alternative methodology to evaluate marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) which was presented by Thom and McDowell (1999) and Azhar and Elliot (2008). Using a panel data approach, the results show a negative c...

This article repudiates the common view that the study of religion, in order to qualify as academic, must be descriptively neutral and naturalistic rather than normative or prescriptive. Following philosophers like John McDowell, John Cottingham, and Tyler Roberts, I claim that such a methodological stance amounts to viewing humans as determined rather than free agents. On the basis of W.V.O. Q...
