F ollowing the FDA’s approval of a pediatric dosage Atropen®, the Pediatric Expert Advisory Panel was asked to review the existing guidelines and recommendations regarding the treatment of children exposed to nerve agents and the Mark-1 Kit; review the new literature on pediatric nerve agent exposure; and to develop recommendations an...

A technic developed by Lutz, Handler, and as sociates (1-4) employed the cheek pouch of the hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) as a site for trans plantation of tissues, including animal and human cancers. Through the courtesy of these workers, we learned their method and employed it in ex periments on the heterologous transplantation of human cancers. Sixty-five human neoplasms were so implanted, ...

Van Zwaluwenburg, Professor of Roentgenology, all of Michigan University, Ann Arbor, U.S.A., in the summer of this year I was given an opportunity of spending three months investigating the work being carried out in the Gynaecological Department at ...

American tree frog Hypsiboas punctatus, an amphibian that exhibits natural fluorescence. Carlos Taboada et al. traced the frog’s fluorescence to a class of compounds called hyloins, and found that in low-light conditions the fluorescence substantially enhances the brightness of individuals and matches the sensitivity of amphibian night vision. See the article by Taboada et al. on pages 3672–367...

There are occasions in which an agent lengthens its own action through the implementation of a foreign activity for its own interests. We focus on the occasional dependence relation between a principal agent and a helper agent. In particular, we are interested in the helper’s harmful performance that has its origin in extra contractual situations e.g. factual and/or occasional situations based ...

The Hodgkin stamp is one of a series entitled Twentieth Century Women of Achievement, which inc...

This whitepaper proposes the design and adoption of a new generation of Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) which has the performance of Google’s TPU, yet performs operations on wide precision data. The new generation TPU is made possible by implementing arithmetic circuits which compute using a new general purpose, fractional arithmetic based on the residue number system (RNS). www.digitalsystemresea...
