The policy of the measure here -recommended can scarcely be disputed ; but on the mode and the means of effecting it, many discrepancies of opinion will doubtless prevail. Mr. Parkinson has discussed this important topic with much, discretion and good sense, and we hope his arguments will have weight with the parochial and constituted authorities. To those who cavil at the expence of these feve...

UNLABELLED Malignant mesothelioma is doubtless the more known pleural tumour. However, according to the morphology code of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O), there are several histological types of pleural neoplasms, divided into mesothelial, mesenchymal and lymphoproliferative tumours, that may be misdiagnosed. In this paper we summarise and illustrate the incid...

We report on an interaction between a University and a small software development company within the framework of a Teaching Company Scheme. By exploiting the peculiar environment offered by a TCS, the University was able to help the company introduce measures to improve their software development process. Not only have these measures moved the company from level 1 to level 2 of the Capability ...

While Professor Pagano’s general argument is attractive and may be valid, the Machiavellian intelligence hypothesis that he employs is extremely implausible from a sociobiological perspective. It posits the evolution of massive social inefficiencies in hominin societies over a long period during which there was doubtless severe competition among hominin groups for the same large animal scavengi...

The serum of an inflammatory exudate has the power of inhibiting the action of proteolytic ferments contained in the leucocytes. This anti-enzymotic power is possessed by the blood serum from which it doubtless passes into the exudate. In the later stages of inflammation there is some diminution of this anti-enzymotic action. The anti-body contained in the serum is destroyed by a temperature of...

For staff, leaders, organisations, this seems unwise. But I can understand why politicians want wrest back control over NHS, be deployed when it suits ministerial, government, or party agenda. In terms these additio...

As Britain's National Health Service passes into its 27th year and faces problems which threaten to destroy it the medical profession and, doubtless, the Department of Health in Ireland watch its malaise with concern and interest. Not by any means the least interested are the consultants, who, like their British colleagues, are studying contract options for the future, and many of whom with fir...

This paper addresses the issue of the trend and level of fertility in India during the coming decades. It takes as its starting point (i) the requirement to produce population projections which are as accurate as possible, and (ii) the fact that countries with fertility around or below the replacement level currently hold over forty percent of the world’s people. Since India contains one sixth ...

The increasing relevance assumed by the E-Commerce in the Web community is attested by the great number of powerful and sophisticated tools developed in the last years to support traders in their commercial activities. In this scenario, recommender systems appear doubtless as a promising solution for supporting both customers’ and merchants’ activities. In this paper, we propose an agent-based ...
