Casks of haemoptysis clue to malarial infection must be exceedingly rare, yet the case about to be recorded appears to be one. During the past 61 years I have had occasion to treat 1,056 cases of acute malaria and 6,388 of chronic malaria, yet I have not previously seen haemoptysis, apparently due to malarial infection. In Osier and McCrae's System of Medicine,* where a comprehensive list of tw...

Static checking of process types ensures that each object accepts all messages received from concurrent clients, although the set of acceptable messages can depend on the object's state. However, conventional approaches of using dynamic type information (e.g., checked type casts) are not applicable in the current process type model, and the typing of self-references is too restrictive. In this ...

In this article we present a new heuristic approach (informative recombinations, InfRec) to analyze recombination density at the sequence level. InfRec is intuitive and easy and combines previously developed methods that (i) resolve genotypes into haplotypes, (ii) estimate the minimum number of recombinations, and (iii) evaluate the fraction of informative recombinations. We tested this approac...

The evolution of multigene families whose members are dispersed into two or more nonhomologous chromosomes is studied from the standpoint of population genetics. By using a simple model of gene conversion, equilibrium and transient properties of the probability of identity of genes belonging to the family are investigated. Also, the time until fixation of a mutant belonging to a subdivided mult...

We present on the fly surface hopping simulations of the dynamics of photoexcited acetone in the n → π* band, taking into account both the spin-orbit and the dynamic couplings and allowing for the C-C bond dissociation. The S0, S1, T1 and T2 states were considered and the propagation time was 50 ps. According to the simulation results, after excitation to S1 both Internal Conversion (IC) to S0 ...
