A GREAT HUNTER

William Smellie and William Hunter: two great obstetricians and anatomists.

A Second Reply to Hunter

In O(3) symmetry electrodynamics the field tensor is governed by a nonAbelian Stokes Theorem, as in any non-Abelian gauge theory. The comments on the B component of this field tensor by Hunter in this Issue address B as if it were a U(1) symmetry field, governed by the ordinary Stokes Theorem, and are therefore sequentially erroneous, because there is a basic misunderstanding of the nature of O...

Word Hunter

For this project we propose and implement a reading tool on Andriod platform that can be used to identify keywords on paper-based media. We breakdown the image processing after receiving an image of the media into three steps. In the first step, we pre-process the image using binarization, deskew and de-noising. The second step involves using OCR (in particular, Tesseract OCR engine) to recogni...

John Hunter

John Hunter, by JESSIE DOBSON, Edinburgh and London, E. & S. Livingstone, 1969, pp. xvii, 361, illus., 50s. This book demonstrates that rare achievement, a historical work which blends narrative skill with meticulous factual accuracy. John Hunter's life lends itself singularly happily to biography, but its attractive surface has led biographers of the past to become entangled all too frequently...

The Hunter-Saxton Equation: A Geometric Approach

The Hunter–Saxton equation is the Euler equation for the geodesic flow on the quotient space of the infinite-dimensional group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the unit circle modulo the subgroup of rigid rotations equipped with a right-invariant metric. We establish several properties of this quotient space: it has constant sectional curvature equal to 1, the Riemannian exponential...
