N. gonorrhoeae is a species which was originally highly sensitive to penicillin (Cohn and Seijo, 1944; Frisch, 1944; Carpenter, Bahn, Ackerman, and Stokinger, 1945; Lankford, 1945; Meads, Ory, Wilcox, and Finland, 1945; Romansky, 1946; Kenedy and Alfoldy, 1947; Romansky and Robin, 1947; Hughes and Carpenter, 1948; Hawks and Greey, 1948; Cohn, Grunstein, Goldberg, and Crane, 1949; Mills, 1949; S...

Automated theory formation involves amongst other things the production of examples concepts and statements relating the concepts The HR program has been developed to form theo ries in mathematical domains by calculating examples inventing concepts making conjectures and settling conjectures using the Otter theorem prover and MACE model generator In addition to providing a plausible model for a...

We discuss the temporal di erence learning algorithm as applied to approximating the cost to go function of an in nite horizon discounted Markov chain The algorithm we analyze updates parameters of a linear function approximator on line during a single endless traject ory of an irreducible aperiodic Markov chain with a nite or in nite state space We present a proof of convergence with probabili...

A total of 9668 informative meioses from 30 microsatellite loci were represented in the combined data containing a total of 15 757 marker genotypes. Each data set was analysed independently using the TWOPOINT, FLIPS and CHROMPIC options. Genotypic d...

A statistically exactly solvable model for passive tracers is introduced as a test modelfor the authors’ Nonlinear Extended Kalman Filter (NEKF) as well as other filteringalgorithms. The model involves a Gaussian velocity field and a passive tracer governedby the advection-diffusion equation with an imposed mean gradient. The model hasdirect relevance to engineering problems suc...

3 This paper examines the sensitivity of atmospheric pCO2 to changes in ocean biol4 ogy that result in drawdown of nutrients at the ocean surface. We show that the global 5 inventory of preformed nutrients is the key determinant of atmospheric pCO2 and the 6 oceanic carbon storage due to the soft tissue pump (OCSsoft). We develop a new the7 ory showing that under conditions of perfect equilibri...
