Although von Recklinghausen, in 1882, was the first to describe the pathology of the disease, it is interesting to note that one of our own countrymen, Robert W. Smith, after research in two cases, published an account of the condition in 1849. Von Recklinghausen, however, was the first to offer the now accepted theory of neuro-fibromatosis. The disease is characterized by multiple painless nod...

We analyse a binary cyclotomic sequence constructed via generalized cyclotomic classes by Bai et al. (IEEE Trans Inforem Theory 51: 1849–1853, 2005). First we determine the linear complexity of a natural generalization of this binary sequence to arbitrary prime fields. Secondly we consider k-error linear complexity and autocorrelation of these sequences and point out certain drawbacks of this c...

In 1849, Alphonse de Polignac conjectured that every odd positive integer can be written in the form 2n + p, for some integer n ≥ 0 and some prime p. In 1950, Erdős constructed infinitely many counterexamples to Polignac’s conjecture. In this article, we show that there exist infinitely many positive integers that cannot be written in either of the forms Fn + p or Fn− p, where Fn is a Fibonacci...

2014 X-ray scattering results from Langmuir-Blodgett thin films demonstrate that the surface monolayer at the multilayer-air interface is disordered and that ordering of the surface monolayer can be induced by the deposition of an additional monolayer. The data was analysed by a novel refinement technique which does not assume a centrosymmetric structure or the existence of a unit cell. J. Phys...

This essay deals with the far-reaching claims of alternative medicine and how they appear to benefit from pandemics. To make this clear, current debate, as expressed in a popular book by Clemens G. Arvay, is compared paper water doctor natural healer Theodor Hahn (1824–1883), which he wrote on occasion cholera outbreak Schwerin 1849.

Population structure of the African bonytongue, Heterotis niloticus, was examined in southern Benin within Lake Hlan and a region of the Sô River floodplain located approximately 60 km downstream from the lake. Both locations support important fisheries in which Heterotis is the principal target species during the flood period. Ripe adults comprised over 40% of the population in Lake Hlan, wher...
