How did it start? Seattle cancer surgeon Bill Hutchinson started the ball rolling in 1956. His aim was to found an institution that would provide both funds and lab space for medical researchers and in 1960, with help from the Department of Public Health, he set up The Pacific Northwest Research Foundation. It was in 1965, after the untimely death from lung cancer of his brother, Fred, that Bil...

The shortages of meat during the last world war stimulated the use of the rabbit as a meat animal. A series of studies was carried out by Hutchinson (1947a, 6 ) and Hutchinson & Baker (1949) dealing with the nutrition of domestic rabbits. The possibilities of the rabbit as a meat animal for underdeveloped areas stimulate further study. This paper reports a study of the efficiency of conversion ...

Hutchinson approach has been successfully used by a number of researchers in thin sheet metal forming processes for wrinkling prediction. However, Hutchinson approach is limited to regions of the sheet that are free of any contact. Therefore, a new wrinkling indicator that can be used in the contact areas is proposed. Discretisation error indicators are also used to present a comprehensive appr...

We investigate when the Hutchinson operator associated with an iterated function system is continuous. The continuity with respect to both the Hausdorff metric and Vietoris topology is carefully considered. An example showing that the Hutchinson operator on the hyperspace of nonempty closed bounded sets need not be Hausdorff continuous is given. Infinite systems are also discussed. The work cla...

We present a systematic classification of the elementary excitations of Bose–Einstein condensates in cylindrical traps in terms of their shapes. The classification generalizes the concept of families of excitations first identified by Hutchinson and Zaremba [Hutchinson D A W and Zaremba E 1998 Phys. Rev. A 57 1280]. We relate the energy ordering of the modes to their family classification, and ...

in this paper we define weak $f$-contractions on a‎ ‎metric space into itself by extending $f$-contractions‎ ‎introduced by d‎. ‎wardowski (2012) and provide some fixed point‎ ‎results in complete metric spaces and in partially ordered complete ‎generalized metric spaces‎. ‎some relationships between weak‎ ‎$f$-contractions and $fi$-contractions are highlighted‎. ‎we also ‎give some application...
