Chekhov’s biographer Donald Rayfield claims, in two different scholarly works, that Chekhov may have been inspired by the Brontë family’s biography when writing his drama Three Sisters (1901). Rayfield’s ideas then turn Blake Morrison and Arlene Hutton their creative adaptations of Sisters, which plot structure were supplemented with Brontëan historical characters themes. In this paper, author ...

A decrease in metabolic rate per unit body weight with increase in size has been demonstrated for a large number of organisms. Kleiber (1947), Zeuthen (1947, 1953) and Hemmingsen (i960) have given comprehensive reviews in which they point out that although in all cases the relationship O2 consumption = aW b is applicable, there are wide variations in the value of the exponent (b). In some cases...

The worker/wrapper transformation is a general technique for improving the performance of recursive programs by changing their types. The previous formalisation (Gill & Hutton, 2009) was based upon a simple fixed point semantics of recursion. In this article we develop a more structured approach, based upon initial algebra semantics. In particular, we show how the worker/wrapper transformation ...

Epidemiological studies have not identified causal factors for Alzheimer’s disease as seen in a number of reviews [Heyman et al., 1984; Mortimer and Hutton, 1985; Rocca et al., 1986; Schoenberg, 1986; Broe et al., 1990; Beard et al., 1992; Breteler et al., 1992; White, 1992; Disterhoft et al., 1994; Katzman and Kawas, 1994; Prince et al., 1994; Keefover, 1996; van Duijn, 1996]. However, recentl...

In the past twenty years evidence has accumulated that liquorice and related compounds accelerate the rate of healing of gastric ulcers. Powdered succus liquiritiae (Revers, 1948) and glycyrrhiza extract (Schulze, Franke, and Keller, 1954; Ferenbach, 1954; Ohrt, 1955) were shown to be beneficial in patients with gastric ulcer but adequately controlled clinical trials of liquorice extracts were ...

Previous work has shown simulations of self-reproducing cells within the framework of a two-dimensional artificial chemistry. This earlier work used either a set of fixed rules to produce specific behaviors, or atomic enzymes governed by an extended set of meta rules. The difficulty with such enzymes is that their method of operation is outside of the system and thus cannot itself be reprogramm...

We analyze three-body decays of and . Under the factorization approach, there are tree level diagrams for these decay modes and the transition matrix element of decay is factorized into a form factor multiplied by decay constant and form factor multiplied into weak vertices form factor. The transition matrix element of decay is also factorized into a form factor multiplied into weak vertic...
