Human brucellosis still presents difficulties in diagnosis and prevention. Townspeople may be infected by drinking raw milk while on holiday. Laboratory tests are still unsatisfactory as indicators of clinically active disease. High titre antibodies may be found without overt symptoms, particularly in persons occupationally exposed to repeated infection. In contrast, cases have been recorded in...

no definite, infallible relationship has yet been observed between any single factor or group of factors and the appearance of delta rhythms on over-breathing (Dawson and Greville, 1963). Brill and Seidemann (1941) showed that 40% of normal children between 4 and 6 years of age developed 2-6 c/s waves on over-breathing. They concluded that such waves appearing on overbreathing cannot be conside...

This paper describes a robust approach to real-time model-based visual tracking and servoing for rigid polyhedral objects moving with 3 degrees of freedom. It is recognized that low-level feature segmentation is not infallible. Uncertainty measures enter into all computations to account for varying degrees of confidence in the measured object features. Robust tracking and servoing has been demo...

investigations forming the subject-matter and the practical application of those researches on the treatment of disease. It has only been in comparatively recent years that a closer harmony has sprung up between physiology and practical medicine. Many of us remember the time when students entering the wards received the advice from their clinical teachers to forget their physiology. Those days ...

Doctors have been portrayed on television for over 50 years. In that time, their character has undergone significant changes, evolving from caring but infallible supermen with smoldering good looks and impeccable bedside manners to drug-addicted, sex-obsessed antiheroes. This article summarizes the major programs of the genre and explains the pattern of the TV doctors' character changes. Articu...

One of the compelling reasons for natural language research and, in particular, computer speech research is that speech is a defining characteristic of humanity and something that virtually all people can do at a level that far surpasses the best artificial implementations. Humans, however, are not infallible; most only speak one language and aren’t able to handle the specialized vocabulary of ...

Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (NECB) is an extremely rare variant of breast cancer having aggressive clinicopathological behaviour and poor prognosis. A 62 years old woman presented with a painless lump in the left breast. Microscopic and immunohistochemical evaluation of the core-tissue biopsy and of the mastectomy specimen revealed moderately-differentiated neuroendocrine car...

The purport of this lecture is the Medical Treatment of Insanity. It may be surmised that I have selected this subject with the view of submitting for your consideration, and through you to the profession, the particulars of a mode of treating the diversified morbid affections of the mind, original in its conception, invariably successful in its results, and based upon my own peculiar views as ...

A discrete chemotactic predator-prey model is proposed in which the prey secrets a diffusing chemical which is sensed by the predator and vice versa. Two dynamical states corresponding to catching and escaping are identified and it is shown that steady hunting is unstable. For the escape process, the predator-prey distance is diffusive for short times but exhibits a transient subdiffusive behav...
