Shear localization has been observed in liquid lubricants flowing at high pressure. Two kinds have been identified: for stresscontrolled plane Couette shear at high values of Nahme No., thermal runaway can result in the appearance of a band at midplane where the temperature and shear rate become localized. Alternatively, at high pressure and high shear stress, intermittent slip can be visualize...

Despite the progress in the pharmacotherapy of depression, there is a substantial proportion of treatment-resistant patients. Recently, reversible invasive stimulation methods, i.e. vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS), have been introduced into the management of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). VNS has already received regulatory approval for TRD. This paper revi...

PAST PRECISION MEASUREMENT GRANT HOLDER WINS NOBEL PRIZE The 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics will be shared by two JILA fellows, Eric Cornell of NIST and Carl Wieman of the University of Colorado, and Wolfgang Ketterle of MIT for their work on Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms. In 1979, Carl Wieman, then at the University of Michigan, was awarded a NIST Precision Measurement Grant. This brings to...

B. MOHR Consider the qualitative approach to evaluation design (as opposed to measurement) to be typified by a case study with a sample of just one. Although there have certainly been elaborate and emphatic defenses of the qualitative approach to program evaluation, such defenses rarely attempt to qualify the approach explicitly and rigorously as a method of impact analysis. The present paper m...

Mohr (1954) found hints that the locus of myotonic dystrophy belongs to the Secretor:Lutheran (Se: Lu) linkage group established by Mohr (1951). Despite their potential relevance for genetic counselling, these hints did not lead to further studies for reasons which may have revolved around the difficulties in phenotypic and genotypic categorization for the secretor and dystrophy loci. There may...
