to the value of plasmochin as an antimalarial drug of high potency. The advantages claimed for it are:? (i) A very small dose, 1?1-J grains daily, is sufficient to control fever. (?) Unlike quinine, it produces no nervous symptoms during its administration. (Hi) It quickly removes the crescents from the peripheral blood. Quinine is long in the field and it has an established reputation as a pra...

Although chaulmoogra oil is the oldest known and most widely used medication in the treatment of leprosy, no uniform criterion for evaluating its therapeutic value has yet been evolved. In all epochs and within the same epoch there have. existed various schools of thought, some enthusiastic defenders of chaulmoogra, and, at the other extreme, the pessimists and disbelievers in its therapeutic v...

Forensic odontology (dental forensics) can provide useful evidence in both criminal and civil cases, and therefore remains a part of the wider discipline of forensic science. As an example from the toolbox of forensic odontology, the practice and experience on bitemark analysis is reviewed here in brief. The principle of using visible bitemarks in crime victims or in other objects as evidence i...

Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation with survival is possible and , in fact may be relatively more common than once thought. The spectrum of neurologic manifestations is broader than previously described and does not necessarily end in death or tragic neurologic deficit. Radiographic diagnosis of this injury may be d ifficult , particularly in the longitudinal distraction-dislocation type. ...

I argue that uncomputable formal problems are intuitively, mathematically, and methodologi9 cally analogous to empirical problems in which Hume’s problem of induction arises. In particular, I show that a version of Ockham’s razor (a preference for simple answers) is advantageous in 11 both domains when infallible inference is infeasible. A familiar response to the empirical problem of induction...

In this paper, we consider planning for multi-agents situations in STRIPS-like domains with planning graph. Three possible relationships between agents’ goals are considered in order to evaluate plans: the agents may be collaborative, adversarial or indifferent entities. We propose algorithms to deal with each situation. The collaborative situations can be easily dealt with the original Graphpl...

In offering this paper for the perusal of my Medical brethren I will frankly state, at the outset, that I have no new or startling theory to propound, nor have I any infallible plan of treatment to recommend. My object is solely an endeavour to establish the pathology of cholera on a correct basis, believing that, until this is done, the treatment of the disease will never be satisfactorily red...

In this paper, we develop the algorithm, given in Plotkin (1970), for finding the least generalization of two clauses, into a theory of inductive generalization. The types of hypothesis which can be formed are very simple. They all have the form: (x)Pxm Qx. We have been guided by ideas from the philosophy of science, following Buchanan (1966). There is no search for infallible methods of genera...
