Cancer rates for Canadian women between the ages of 22 and 44 are increasing. Improved survival times and more treatment choices, however, create new challenges. Little research has been done to uncover the lived experience of long-term survival. This pilot study describes the meaning of living with cancer for three Canadian women who were diagnosed more than four years ago. The process of inqu...

A great advance in physics came when it was realized that it was better to think about motion in empty space rather than starting with what happen in the “real world” with gravity pulling things downwards, friction slowing things down, etc. First, that the laws of physics should be the same at one point as at another, i.e. that they are translation invariant, and also from one day to another, i...

Wolfgang Kummer was well known for his passion for axial gauges and for the formulation of gravity in terms of Cartan variables. The combination of the two applied to two dimensional dilaton gravity is the basis of the “Vienna School,” which provided numerous significant results over the last seventeen years. In this review we trace the history of this success with particular emphasis on dilato...

This paper examines newly-available intra-day data from the interdealer government bond market to investigate the effects of economic-news announcements on prices, trading volume, and bid-ask spreads. The use of this new data set together with data on market expectations allows us to obtain new and different results regarding which announcements are important relative to previous studies. In fa...

This study presents the results of a major data integration project bringing together primary archaeozoological data for over 200,000 faunal specimens excavated from seventeen sites in Turkey spanning the Epipaleolithic through Chalcolithic periods, c. 18,000-4,000 cal BC, in order to document the initial westward spread of domestic livestock across Neolithic central and western Turkey. From th...

on this volume, which contained many beautiful drawings and original scientific contributions. The actual inception of the Journal has been recorded by Mr. L. M. Griffiths, for seventeen years Assistant Editor.1 After referring to the preceding Transactions, he continued : " Another four years passed (i.e. 1882) and some members of the Committee thought the time had arrived for the publication ...

We study the willingness to compete of 588 children and teenagers aged ten to seventeen. We replicate the gender difference in tournament entry choices usually found in the literature for adults. We then show that policy interventions like quotas and preferential treatment help to close down the gender gap without leading to losses in efficiency, during or after a tournament. Given that differe...
