Examination.-The visual acuity was 6/9 in each eye. Refraction under atropine revealed slight hypermetropia. Both fundi were normal. The movements of the eyes were full and the eyes were orthophoric on cover test. The action of the left superior rectus was normal. The child was attempting to correct the lid deformity by elevating the eyebrow. There was no evidence of jawwinking (Marcus Gunn phe...

A modified simple technique of sling operation is presented in 15 cases using the levator aponeurosis as the material for the sling as originally devised by Lemagne and Bemcher. The levator is cut behind the superior transverse ligament and the posterior part of the levator is cauterised and allowed to retract into the orbit. The horns are cut from behind forwards, and the levator, which is kep...

The brain has revealed many of its secrets during the decade dedicated to its honor. Many of the exquisite techniques used in quite ingenious ways to uncover the workings of the brain involve microanalysis of the chemistry and biophysics of the brain’s complex and varied cellular structure. But, most revelations that can be readily appreciated by a general audience come from the giant leaps mad...

‘Deficit omne quod nascitur’, the Roman rhetorician Marcus Fabius Quintilianus wrote in his opus magnus “Institutio oratoria”. As death is an immanent part of human life, death and the medical profession are inseparably connected. The process of dying and death is complex, spanning the continuum of palliative care, diagnosis and certification of death, performance of last offices, and support o...

The Marcus–Hush–Chidsey (MHC) model is well known in electro-analytical chemistry as a successful microscopic theory of outer-sphere electron transfer at metal electrodes, but it is unfamiliar and rarely used in electrochemical engineering. One reason may be the difficulty of evaluating the MHC reaction rate, which is defined as an improper integral of the Marcus rate over the Fermi distributio...

The Marcus–Hush theory of electron transfer has seen increasing use as a predictive alternative to the phenomenological Butler–Volmer (BV) equation for Faradaic reactions kinetics. Here, we analyze and simplify the asymmetric Marcus–Hush (AMH) model, first proposed by Marcus and recently used by Compton’s group to fit experimental data that exhibit two different reorganization energies, dependi...

This paper reports on one of the first steps in building a very large annotated database of American English. We present and discuss the results of an experiment comparing manual part-of-speech tagging with manual verification and correction of automatic stochastic tagging. The experiment shows that correcting is superior to tagging with respect to speed, consistency and accuracy. Comments Univ...
