In addition to its effect on Trichomonas vaginalis, metronidazole has also been found to be active against the organisms causing Vincent's gingivitis. This has raised the question of its possible action on Treponema pallidum, although Scott-Gray and Murrell (1961) found that a short course of 1-8 g. given over 48 hours did not affect a case of primary syphilis, and Yobs, Clark, and Schroeter (1...

We have developed a method for measuring higher-order weak lensing distortions of faint background galaxies, namely the weak gravitational flexion, by fully extending the Kaiser, Squires & Broadhurst method to include higher-order lensing image characteristics (HOLICs) introduced by Okura, Umetsu, & Futamase. We take into account explicitly the weight function in calculations of noisy shape mom...

The weak distortions produced by gravitational lensing in the images of background galaxies provide a unique method to measure directly the distribution of mass in the universe. However, because the induced distortions are only of a few percent, this technique requires high precision measurements of the lensing shear and cautious corrections for systematic effects. Kaiser, Squires, & Broadhurst...

An arrangement of boundary conditions is described and demonstrated that facilitates the large-eddy simulation (LES) of inhomogeneous boundary layers such as internal boundary layers. In addition to the domain where the internal boundary layer develops, the method requires a section of domain over the upwind surface that is of the order of 10 boundary layer thicknesses and thus similar in size ...

While economists have long been interested in effects of health and human capital on productivity, less attention has been paid to the influence of time use. We investigate the productivity effects of the single largest use of time—sleep. Because sleep influences performance on memory and focus intensive tasks, it plausibly affects economic outcomes. We identify the effect of sleep on wages by ...

Since devolution in 1998, the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) has been proactive in exercising its responsibilities for equalities within its territories (Chaney, 2009; Davies, 2003). The Government of Wales Act 2006 moreover, placed a statutory duty on the Assembly to have due regard for equality of opportunity in everything it did. Although discrimination law in itself is not a function that ...
