genus to an abstract essence one would vary several coloured objects and discover that colour belongs to all of them as a highly abstract moment. In 80 other words, one would discover that colour is not an independent, real object; it presupposes extension in order to exist. For Husserl, Lockean dependencies between general concepts and their variants merely serve as a vast playground, or netwo...

rence ; they well deserve a permanent place in medical literaturo for future reference nnd instruction. Fortunately, a detailed narrative of all the leading particulars of what took place at Liverpool was read at the last meeting of the Epidemiological Society, and will, it may be hoped, be published in their Transactions: it was from the pen of Dr. Duncan, the able Medical Officer of Health of...

Twelve Wisconsin dairy herds were selected to include six sand freestall herds and six mattress freestall herds. For the duration of one 24 hour period, the mature cow high group pen on each farm was video filmed. For each herd, the film was analyzed every hour in order to determine the number of cows in the pen that were lying down, standing in the stall with all four feet and perching in the ...

Pen-based computing offers mobility to workers at remote locations who spend much of their time collecting information. Because pen-based computing is different enough from other types of computing, many companies use pilot projects to get the systems into the hands of these users to see what reaction pen systems receive. Using actual pilot projects in user organizations as examples, this artic...

This thesis presents the development and deployment of educational software applications on a heterogeneous set of consumer-level devices. To do this, the SLICE framework was created to allow for application developers to quickly build software to target pen-and touch-based devices. This thesis discusses both the internals of the framework as well as how a developer may develop an application o...

Excitable cattle are dangerous to personnel and have reduced individual performance. The aim of this study was to 1) identify objective criteria for evaluating bull temperament and 2) examine relationships among temperament, behavior, and performance of bulls during an 84-d performance test. Angus bulls ( = 60) were reared in 6 pens based on BW and age. Pen scores (PS; 1 = docile and 5 = very a...

The core entropy of polynomials, recently introduced by W. Thurston, is a dynamical invariant which can be defined purely in combinatorial terms, and provides a useful tool to study parameter spaces of polynomials. The theory of core entropy extends the entropy theory for real unimodal maps to complex polynomials: the real segment is replaced by an invariant tree, known as the Hubbard tree, whi...

Using automatic sensor data, this is the first study to characterize individual cow feeding and rumination behavior simultaneously as affected by lameness. A group of mixed-parity, lactating Holstein cows were loose-housed with free access to 24 cubicles and 12 automatic feed stations. Cows were milked three times/day. Fresh feed was delivered once daily. During 24 days with effectively 22 days...

Eight home health nurses from the Visiting Nurse Service of New York participated in a focus group discussion after their initial experiences using wireless, pen-based computing in the inner-city, home care environment. Transcripts of the nurses' responses to open-ended questions were analyzed and central themes were found, following the method of concept analysis described by Strauss and Corbi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Fast-food companies have been reproached for rising obesity levels due to aggressive marketing tactics targeted at children. They have countered that parents should be held responsible considering their critical role as nutritional gatekeepers. This study examined the comparative effects of media exposure and parental mediation on Indonesian children's fast food consum...
