Council, the Wellcome Trust, the Department of Health, the Scottish Executive and the North West Regional Development Agency. A final protocol has been closely assessed by an independent international review panel set up by the funders. In its report the panel concluded that “UK Biobank has the potential, in ways that are not currently available elsewhere, to support a wide range of research”. ...

Presently a new accelerator complex is being planned at CERN, which will replaced the ageing Proton Synchrotron (PS). A high-power160 MeV H linac (Linac 4) will replace the present 50 MeV proton linac injector [1], a 5 GeV Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) will replace the 1.4 GeV PS Booster (PSB) [2] and a 50 GeV synchrotron (PS 2) will replace the 26 GeV PS [3]. A tentative layout of the pla...

There has been a lot of interest in the use of randomisation tests as a pedagogic alternative to hypothesis tests (Zieffler, 2012), although proposals to use randomisation tests in research are far from new (e.g. Hooton, 1991) with Good (2000) being an updated classic text in this area. This article will present a classroom activity that demonstrates the randomisation tests as a means of unders...

Nowadays, we are experiencing a rapid development in mobile computing because of the sinking prices of the mobile devices and the availability of wireless networks that can connect them. The ability of many of these devices to set up ad-hoc networks by proximity allows face-to-face interaction combined with mobility. However, mobile devices are much weaker in computing power compared with deskt...

this is the second report of conjunctival sac pinworm infection in the literature. the patient was treated with garlic juice, which was prepared as an eye drop. the first case reported from india was a is year old girl who had pinworm infection of her left eye. she had wonnexpulsion•at night. our case was a 13 year old girl who had worm infestation in both eyes, along with frequent pinworm disc...

David Ponka, MD, is an assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa. He has worked with Médecins Sans Frontières in Chad, near the Sudan border. ittle Seïd is going home today, but he almost didn't make it. He had seemed healthy at birth; his parents were thrilled, having lost their three other young children. But he had the misfortune to be born here, in the region where ...

Inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that any G/H symmetry breaking pattern can be described by a simple two-site moose diagram. This construction trivially reproduces the CCWZ prescription in the context of Hidden Local Symmetry. We interpret this moose in a novel way to show that many little Higgs theories can emerge from ordinary chiral symmetry breaking in scaled-up QCD. We apply...

Bare Grammars are a simple and straight-forward model for syntax. Normally, the lexicon in such a grammar is kept very minimal: each lexical item is an ordered pair consisting of the string and its category. However, the simplicity of such a lexicon can make formulating rules that are succinct and that capture grammatical regularities impossible. In this paper I propose that adding more informa...
