A newborn female with intrauterine growth retardation, bilateral cleft lip and palate, absent external nares and eyelids, low set ears, short contracted limbs, webbed digits, intestinal malrotation, and unilateral renal agenesis is reported. These multiple malformations are considered part of the Neu-Laxova syndrome.

internal state” (Piccinini 2007a, 514, italics added). The mechanistic “rule” also highlights this distinction. “A rule [...] is simply a map from input strings of digits, plus possibly internal states, to output strings of digits” (Piccinini and Scarantino 2011, 8). This suggests that digital computation proceeds from input D and possibly the internal states of the computational system to outp...

For certain sequences A of positive integers with missing g-adic digits, the Dirichlet series FA(s)=∑a∈Aa−s has abscissa convergence σc<1. The number σc is computed. This generalizes and strengthens a classical theorem Kempner on sum reciprocals sequence decimal digits.
