Thomas Richard Allinson (1858-1918) and Joseph Stenson Hooker (1853-1946) both obtained the licentiateship of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1879 and were duly entered on the Medical Register, Hooker having qualified LSA two years previously. In their practice of medicine both came to favour "natural healing" and both came into conflict with the medical establishment. In 1892 A...

The present account briefly describes two crustose lichen species new to South Korea. Detailed taxonomic descriptions of Leiorreuma exaltatum and Trapelia coarctata, supported by distribution, ecology and illustrations, are provided. Both species were collected from warm-temperate, humid forests of Jeju Island.

AIMS The reference methods for enumeration of total coliforms and Escherichia coli as stated in the European Drinking Water Directive were compared with alternative methods. METHODS AND RESULTS Laboratories used the reference method on Lactose TTC agar (LTTC), the Colilert/18 system, Laurysulphate Agar (LSA), Chromocult Coliform Agar and the E. coli Direct Plating (DP) method. They enumerated...

We study a finite-time Carnot cycle of a weakly interacting gas which we can regard as a nearly ideal gas in the limit of T(h)-T(c) --> 0 where T(h) and T(c) are the temperatures of the hot and cold heat reservoirs, respectively. In this limit, we can assume that the cycle is working in the linear-response regime and can calculate the Onsager coefficients of this cycle analytically using the el...

Et (st) The mean, over training sets, of st. The subscript t in Et is redundant, since the only source of variability for st is the training sets, and it is included for emphasis. Vart (st) The variance, over training sets, of st ŝt An estimator of st. This estimator can be a function of only the training set t, i.e., ŝt = ŝt(t) (Chapters 2–5). It can also be a function of both the training and...

PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

Porokeratotic Variant of Lichen Planus: Lichen planus (LP) is a well-known dermatologic disorder with various different clinical presentations. We present a case of patient who was found to have porokeratotic lichen planus, a previously unreported variant of LP.

Sixty taxa (59 species and 1 variety) of lichenized fungi are reported from a chestnut grove in Livari. The majority of them (55 species and 1 variety) occurred on Castanea sativa. The recently described Xylographa soralifera is new to the Balkan Peninsula. The lichenicolous fungus Monodictys epilepraria growing on Lepraria rigidula is new to Montenegro. The lichen mycota is compared with simil...

The origins of herding practices in southern Africa remain controversial. The first appearance of domesticated caprines in the subcontinent is thought to be c. 2000 years BP; however, the origin of this cultural development is still widely debated. Recent genetic analyses support the long-standing hypothesis of herder migration from the north, while other researchers have argued for a cultural ...
