The correspondence between domain-wall and cosmological solutions of gravity coupled to scalar fields is explained. Any domain wall solution that admits a Killing spinor is shown to correspond to a cosmology that admits a pseudo-Killing spinor: whereas the Killing spinor obeys a Dirac-type equation with hermitian ‘mass’-matrix, the corresponding pseudo-Killing spinor obeys a Dirac-type equation...

In Costa Rica there is little information about asthma admissions. In this report the monthly asthma admissions and weather data for a seven year period were reviewed. The hospital asthma admissions showed notable seasonal variation associated with variations in the rainfall and the relative humidity.

One of the most interesting questions in Riemannian geometry is that of deciding whether a manifold admits curvatures of certain kinds. More specifically, one might want to know whether some given manifold admits a canonical metric, i.e. one with constant curvature of some form (sectional curvature, scalar curvature, etc.). (This will in fact have many topological implications.). One such probl...

The hospital, which I have the pleasure and privilege to serve in conjunction with SubAssistant Surgeon Amrita Lall Chanda, Medical Officer-in-Charge, has had what would appear to be a very unique experience. Between the 19th September, 1925, and 8th October, 1925, there were 24 admissions to hospital for cholera, all of whom recovered. I do not wish to imply by this that some new method of tre...

Abstract. We give sufficient conditions on an asymptotic lp (for 1 < p < ∞) Banach space which ensure the space admits an operator which is not a compact perturbation of a multiple of the identity. These conditions imply the existence of strictly singular noncompact operators on the HI spaces constructed by G. Androulakis and the author and by I. Deliyanni and A. Manoussakis. Additionally we sh...

s and Reports ORAL REHYDRATION THERAPY AT HOSPITALS: ITS IMPACT ON DIARRHEAL DISEASE ADMISSIONS AND FATALITIES

The traditional on-call system for the management of acute general surgical admissions is inefficient and outdated. A new model, Acute Surgical Unit (ASU), was developed at Nepean Hospital in 2006. The ASU is a consultant-driven, independent unit that manages all acute general surgical admissions. The team has the same make up 7 days a week and functions the same every day, including weekends a...

1 Relativity and interactivity The Buddhist principle that all is empty is understood by some as the principle that all is relative [Thurman (1993)]. This universal relativity principle is more embracing though less structured than Einstein’s general relativity principle, which still admits many absolutes. It is worth considering seriously. A philosophical argument for a universal relativity co...

pitals?large enough to carry a full range of facilities yet small enough for a personal rather than an institutional atmosphere. It is easily accessible, on the edge of greater London. There was no school available, so we confined ourselves to patients over 15 years old. For the purpose of this article, I have confined myself to the 97 girls and 84 boys, up to the age of 18, admitted between 19...

For orbifolds admitting a crepant resolution and satisfying a hard Lefschetz condition, we formulate a conjectural equivalence between the GromovWitten theories of the orbifold and the resolution. We prove the conjecture for the equivariant Gromov-Witten theories of Sym n C2 and Hilbn C2 .
