We focus on JET plasmas in which ELMs are triggered by pellets in the presence of ELMs which occur naturally. We perform direct time domain analysis of signals from fast radial field coils and toroidal full flux azimuthal loops. These toroidally integrating signals provide simultaneous high time resolution measurements of global plasma dynamics and its coupling to the control system. We examine...

A regional health authority administrator contends that, lacking privacy legislation, patients in Great Britain cannot depend on a concept of 'ownership' of medical records to safeguard their confidentiality, or on their physicians alone to control all access to these records. Therefore, it is proposed that 'custodianship' of confidential information be assumed by a health care institution as ...

In her March 2002 editorial, Dr Moncrieff raises doubts about the efficacy of antidepressant drugs, and argues that side-effects of the active drug may explain some of the differences owing to the associated increased expectancy of a positive effect. Our 24-week study (Malt et al, 1999) comparing the efficacy of empathic primarycare counselling and support combined with placebo, a selective ser...

the objective of this study is development of driver’s sleepiness using visually evoked potentials (vep). vep computed from eeg signals from the visual cortex. we use the steady state veps (ssveps) that are one of the most important eeg signals used in human computer interface systems. ssvep is a response to visual stimuli presented. we present a classification method to discriminate between cl...

Environmental philosophers spend considerable time drawing the divide between humans and the rest of nature. Some argue that humans and our actions are unnatural. Others allow that humans are natural, but maintain that humans are nevertheless distinct. The motivation for distinguishing humans from the rest of nature is the desire to determine what aspects of the environment should be preserved....
