Giant inguinal herniae pose a surgical challenge, though not uncommon in the developing world they are a rare presentation in the UK. We present a patient with cardiac disease who presented with a giant inguino-scrotal hernia complicated by a bleeding scrotal ulcer. We describe his medical management and the surgical repair of the hernia and refashioning of his scrotum.

A classical mechanical system is analysed which exhibits complicated scattering behaviour. In the set of all incoming asymptotes there is a fractal subset on which the scattering angle is singular. Though in the complement of this Cantor set the deflection function is regular, one can choose impact parameter intervals leading to arbitrarily complicated trajectories. We show how the complicated ...

This is a Haskell implementation of Decisive Plausible Logic.1 Decisive Plausible Logic is a new variant of Plausible Logic that handles the looping that complicated previous implementations explicitly, and is defined in terms of a proof function with a three-valued result like the previous implementations, though these essential attributes were not reflected in the formal definition of the logic.

The adverb is the most complicated, and perhaps also the most interesting part of speech. Past research in natural language processing, however, has not dealt seriously with adverbs, though linguists have done significant work on this word class. The current paper draws on this linguistic research to organize an adverbial lexicon which will be useful for information retrieval and natural langua...
