A distinct, well-defined phase has been identified in a patient with heart block during which sinus impulses were conducted to the ventricles. This phase persisted during pacing but its onset and termination were delayed. No significant difference was found at varying pacing rates. On four occasions while pacing, two consecutive sinus impulses were conducted to the ventricles but this was not s...

This article revisits Marcel Mauss’s theory of magic in the context contemporary capitalism. Mauss saw as art transforming, socially accomplished via processes differentiation that endow specialised agents, and their symbolic acts, with an ambiguous unstable potentiality to do extraordinary. Applying conception, we argue significant figures late capitalism, such leaders, consultants entrepreneu...

PURPOSE To asses the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) function measured by EOG testing in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Our preliminary EOG results suggested dysfunction of the RPE in individuals with NF-1. In order to confirm our initial results we performed EOG examination on a larger group of NF-1 patients. PATIENTS Studies were performed on 36 patients with clinically dia...

True supernormality of excitability and conduction has been demonstrated in normal Purkinje fibers in in vitro studies. In the clinical setting, supernormality of conduction is manifested better than expected. This phenomenon is much more common than previously thought, particularly in the presence of certain clinical conditions. If a careful scanning of the cardiac cycle is performed on all pa...

This paper is about the fusion of multiple information sources represented using default logic. More precisely, the focus is on solving the problem that occurs when the standard-logic knowledge parts of the sources are contradictory, as default theories trivialize in this case. To overcome this problem, it is shown that replacing each formula belonging to Minimally Unsatisfiable Subformulas by ...

We previously documented supernormal glycohaemoglobin concerntrations in about 40% of patients with AIDS [1]. Our findings were later confirmed in another study [2]. In both these studies, fasting plasma glucose concentrations were not elevated. However, it is unclear whether enhanced glycosylation in the presence of normal glycaemia occurs in all patients with AIDS or only in a certain populat...

This paper traces the formation of the German "Gesellschaft für psychologische Forschung" ("Society for Psychological Research"), whose constitutive branches in Munich and Berlin were originally founded as inlets for alternatives to Wundtian experimental psychology from France and England, that is, experimental researches into hypnotism and alleged supernormal phenomena. By utilizing the career...
