SETao A. BENcosmF, M.D. From the Department of Patkology, Patkological Institute, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, and the Department of Pathology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario Most authors agree that after the injection of alloxan and the consequent destruction and disappearance of beta cells, the pancreatic islets contain numerous non-granular islet cells.1 These have been interp...

Mathematics has a great variety of applications in the physical sciences. This simple, undeniable fact, however, gives rise to an interesting philosophical problem: why should physical scientists find that they are unable to even state their theories without the resources of abstract mathematical theories? Moreover, the formulation of physical theories in the language of mathematics often leads...

D espite the biases that a single author inevitably brings to a subject, only one or a few closely interacting authors can bring coherence, synthesis, and vision to a broad and complex topic. A symposium volume just doesn't do the job. Few topics in biology are as simultaneously encompassing, complex, and controversial as the origin of species, i.e., speciation. Speciation is, after all, the pr...

This paper investigates the impact of immigration on market prices and how natives respond by examining how inflows of immigrant students and immigrant labor affect the postsecondary enrollment of natives. Existing studies have focused on the effect of increased immigrant demand for schooling on native enrollment, omitting the effect that changes in immigrant labor supply also have on prices re...

Virginia Berridge notes that, "the history of institutions and organizations has, by and large, had a bad press." Consequently, revisionist social historians have either given up writing about institutions or turned to writing chronicles of "total institutions". Well aware of the hazards of the enterprise, Berridge has taken up the challenge of writing a balanced and judicious history of the So...

To date, al1 published CMOS field-programmable analog array (FPAA) designs have operated under lMHz bandwidths. This thesis develops circuit methods allowing the development of a CMOS FPAA operating at greater than lMHz frequencies. For this purpose the secondgeneration current conveyor (CCII) is used. IC test results of a O.8p-n CMOS chip containing four configurable analog blocks based on the...

This paper examines the international nature of science fiction. The focus of this research is to determine whether science fiction is primarily English speaking and Western or global; being created and consumed by people in non-Western, non-English speaking countries? Science fiction's international presence was found in three ways, by network analysis, by examining a online retailer and with ...
