For n ≤ 27 we present exact values for the maximum number h(n) of halving lines and eh(n) of halving pseudolines, determined by n points in the plane. For this range of values of n we also present exact values of the rectilinear cr(n) and the pseudolinear e cr(n) crossing number of the complete graph Kn. eh(n) and e cr(n) are new for n ∈ {14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27}, h(n) is new for...

Pasco et al (pp. 322–326) investigated the role of tobacco smoking as a risk factor for major depressive disorder, using data from an Australian population-based sample of women. They found both cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence for an association between smoking and depression, particularly among heavy smokers. Using a range of brain imaging techniques, de Win et al (pp. 289–296) found...
