author offers no evidence to support his own contentions other than "laboratory studies show," "phylobiological investigations show," "my researches and those of my associates show." A really specific account of the therapeutic method to be used, or how the physiological method is to be applied, is found nowhere in the book, nor are any concrete case histories supplied. A much-needed glossary, ...

DROR BAR-NATAN AND STAVROS GAROUFALIDIS This is a pre-preprint. Corrections, suggestions, reservations and donations are more than welcome! Abstract. We prove a conjecture stated by Melvin and Morton (and elucidated further by Rozansky) saying that the Alexander-Conway polynomial of a knot can be read from some of the coeecients of the Jones polynomials of cables of that knot (i.e., coeecients ...

We give examples of knots with some unusual properties of the crossing number of positive diagrams or strand number of positive braid representations. In particular we show that positive braid knots may not have positive minimal (strand number) braid representations, giving a counterpart to results of Franks-Williams and Murasugi. Other examples answer questions of Cromwell on homogeneous and (...

In recent years a number of commercial systems for the identification of the Enterobacteriaceae have appeared on the market. Two of these, the API system and the Enterotube, have been available in the UK for some years and have been widely reviewed (Morton and Monaco, 1971; Smith et al., 1972; Washington, 1972; Leers and Arthurs, 1973; Brooks et al., 1974; Nord et al., 1974; Smith, 1975, Hayek ...

To a knot in 3-space, one can associate a sequence of Laurent polynomials, whose nth term is the nth colored Jones polynomial. The Volume Conjecture for small angles states that the value of the n-th colored Jones polynomial at eα/n is a sequence of complex numbers that grows subexponentially, for a fixed small complex angle α. In an earlier publication, the authors proved the Volume Conjecture...

This commentary presents my compositional work of the last two years. It consists of musical pieces that follow a formal approach emphasising static, self-enclosed musical situations. Designed to avoid processual ways of formal organisation, these pieces present collections of rich instrumental textures that do not evolve; they point toward a music of 'being' rather than 'becoming'. Drawing on ...

We present the case of a 20-year-old man with the chief complaint of right foot pain for the past three years presenting with focal bony prominence at dorsomedial aspect of right mid foot with interdigital pain. MRI demonstrated a metatarsal coalition with interdigital neuroma.

We propose a generalization of the Shirakawa (1991) model to capture the jump component in fixed income markets. The model is formulated under the Heath, Jarrow and Morton (1992) framework, and allows the presence of a Wiener noise and a finite number of Poisson noises, each associated with a time deterministic volatility function. We derive the evolution of the futures price and use this evolu...

The first descriptions of AN date back to the 17th century, when Morton determined that the origin of this disorder, in contrast to other states of malnutrition, was a disturbance of the nervous system accompanied by sadness and pre-occupation. In the 19th century, it was described as an individual psychopathological picture similar to the one observed today, though it was believed to be a mood...

BACKGROUND Morton neuroma is a common cause of neuralgia affecting the web spaces of the toes. Corticosteroid injections are commonly administered as a first-line therapy, but the evidence for their effectiveness is weak. Our primary research aim was to determine whether corticosteroid injection is an effective treatment for Morton neuroma compared with an anesthetic injection as a placebo cont...
