‘Placebo’ was used to describe fake substances or rituals used by medieval physicians to ‘please’, or assuage discomfort, in patients for whom no cure was available. This placatory perception of placebos led many to regard them as obsolete, permissible only as a comparator agent in clinical trials. Yet, placebo use by healthcare workers is relatively common,1 mainly to distinguish between organ...

The coyote (Canrs laaans) populat~on in southern Texas has a recurring group of 3 common helminths and several pe~iphel-al species of lesser importance. Although recurrent group analyses have not been applied to other macroor m~croparasite communities, there are certain infectious agents w ~ t h igh prevalences that could form recurrent groups, and that are potentially important in t a m s of I...

In this paper , we evaluate a two-pass parsing strategy proposed for the so-called ' lexicalized' grammar. In ' lexicalized' grammars (Schabes, Abeill$ and Joshi, 1988), each elementary structure is systematical ly associated with a lexical i tem called anchor. These structures specify extended domains of locality (as compared to CFGs) over which constraints can be stated. The 'g rammar ' consi...

Samples of natural phytoplankton assemblages were taken on 4 occasions between 28 March and 19 April 1990 at 2 stations located to the southwest of Plymouth (UK) and incubated in experimental microcosms under constant light and temperature. 14C incorporation into cell constituents [proteins, polysaccharides, lipids and low molecular weight metabolites (LMWM)] and the biochemical compos~tion of ...

A spirin is probably the most widely used and least expensive drug in existence. The value of extracts of willow bark in controlling pain and fever was recognized in 400 BC by Hippocrates. In the 19th century, salicylic acid was identified as the active principle, and in 1899, Felix Hoffman synthesized acetylsalicylic acid. Shortly thereafter, Heinrich Dreser, director of pharmacological resear...
