could have worked. " The scientists hypothesise that interbreeding between our ancestral humans and early chimps created a third, infertile 'hybrid' species, the human equivalent of a mule, the infertile offspring of a horse and donkey. Though incapable of breeding among its own, the hybrid is believed to have survived by mating with its parent human or chimp species, before the two separated t...

2748 ination of pet food, a detection method involving liquid chroma-tography–mass spectrometry became widely available and reliably identifies both cyanuric acid and melamine. A number of suspect foods from China tested by the FDA were found to contain melamine (see table), and more are being reported around the world each week. Furthermore, the FDA has found trace levels of melamine in severa...

Accurate BABE Factorisation of Tridiagonal Matrices for Eigenproblems

Recently Fernando successfully resurrected a classical method for computing eigen vectors which goes back to the times of Cauchy This algorithm has been in the doldrums for nearly fty years because of a fundamental di culty highlighted by Wilkinson The algorithm is based on the solution of a nearly homogeneous system of equations J I z k ek zk for the approximate eigenvector z where is an eigen...
