Glenn Marshall's training in paediatric oncology came at a time of great optimism when technology, treatments, and cure rates were all improving. But softer skills also drew him into the specialty. " I'm very much a humanist, and had the privilege of working with mentors who could think scientifi cally about their clinical work, but also see the intensely human side of clinical care, dealing pa...

Finding alternative to most well known classical family of distributions has become a topic of high importance in academic research due to their striking properties. An increasing interest can be observed for the art of adding parameter to some existing distributions as one parameter family of distributions is not sufficient to handle various real contexts. There is a vast amount of literature ...

A three-dimensional closed orientable orbifold (with no bad suborbifolds) is known to have a geometric decomposition from work of Perelman [50, 51] in the manifold case, along with earlier work of Boileau-Leeb-Porti [4], Boileau-Maillot-Porti [5], BoileauPorti [6], Cooper-Hodgson-Kerckhoff [19] and Thurston [59]. We give a new, logically independent, unified proof of the geometrization of orbif...

Under capitalism there is a potential for increasing socioeconomic complexity and greater specialization of skills. One implication is that there is a potential for increasing inequalities of wealth, income, and power on both a national and international scale. What follows is an updated, broad-brush account of possible future developments in a knowledge-intensive capitalist economy. They can t...

The activity of crystalline trypsin and the trypsin-like amidase activity and the activity of trypsin inhibitors in serum were measured fluorometically, with a-benzoyl--L-arginine--na phthylamide (BANA) as substrate. The method is simpler and more sensitive than the colorimetric method based on the Bratton-Marshall reaction. Serum of pancreatectomized dogs hydrolyzed BANA at a significant rate,...
