5. Heine and Persian Poetry

Poliomyelitis (Heine-Medin disease).

Poliomyelitis (Heine-Medin disease) T he recent death of FC Robbins 1 , Nobel laureate and pioneer worker who cultivated the poliomyelitis virus, prompts this note. Poliomyelitis pre-dates recorded history. 2 Biblical descriptions of the lame and crippled lack sufficient detail for diagnosis. However, a funereal stele of the priest Ruma from the 19th Egyptian dynasty shows shortening and marked...

On Higher Heine-stieltjes Polynomials

Take a linear ordinary differential operator d(z) = Pk i=1 Qi(z) d dzi with polynomial coefficients and set r = maxi=1,...,k(degQi(z) − i). If d(z) satisfies the conditions: i) r ≥ 0 and ii) degQk(z) = k + r we call it a nondegenerate higher Lamé operator. Following the classical examples of E. Heine and T. Stieltjes we initiated in [6] the study of the following multiparameter spectral problem...

Palladium-Catalyzed, Enantioselective Heine Reaction

Aziridines are important synthetic intermediates for the generation of nitrogen-containing molecules. N-Acylaziridines undergo rearrangement by ring expansion to produce oxazolines, a process known as the Heine reaction. The first catalytic, enantioselective Heine reaction is reported for meso-N-acylaziridines where a palladium(II)-diphosphine complex is employed. The highly enantioenriched oxa...

Pottery, Poetry, and Prophecy: An Essay on Biblical Poetry

OETRY is not only central in the title, but for the study of the Hebrew Bible. There is no intention here of disvaluing the prose of the Bible, which constitutes the first major literary composition in that medium ever produced, so far as I am aware, whether we speak of the so-called Court History and the J source of the Pentateuch of the 10th century B.C., or the composite whole which we may c...
