The buboes generally^ appeared between two to four days from the date of attack and in some instances the appearance of buboes and fever was simultaneous. The above statement will show the different sites of buboes in 167 cases under my treatment and the percentage of cures. In one case the bubo appeared at about the middle of left forearm anteriorly, and in another case at about the middle of ...

It has been argued that labels play a special role in cognitive development: hearing the same label associated with different entities facilitates categorization by directing infants’ attention to commonalities. The current study assessed 8-month-olds’ attention to commonalities and processing of visual input more generally when visual stimuli were presented without auditory input (baseline), a...

It is the purpose of this paper to draw the attention of nutritionists, medical men, and epidemiologists to the wide variations that are to be found in the trace element concentrations in various vegetables. The concentrations in vegetables may vary widely depending on where they are grown. Furthermore, vegetables differ among themselves in their ability to incorporate specific elements from th...

Independent firms may be interested in collaborative alliances in order to reduce their costs and risks, among others benefits. Particularly in operations, different firms can gain from economies of scale by pooling their production resources. Even though there may be a significant reduction of the overall cost, the success of the partnership may generally depend on the fairness of the agreemen...

It is commonplace for organisations to collect personal information to be processed and stored on their systems. Until recently, there was no comprehensive legislation that addressed the ‘processing’ of personal information by organisations in South Africa. The Protection of Personal Information Bill (“POPI”) was signed into law in November 2013 and is expected to come into effect, later this y...

We investigate three possible methods of specifying the microstructure of attention feedback: contrast gain, additive and output gain, using simple single node and 3-layer cortical models composed of graded or spiking neurons. Contrast gain and additive attention are also tested in a spiking network which is simplified by mean field methods. The simulation task uses two stimuli, probe and refer...
