And Donald

In 1983, Popper and Miller published in Nature a new argument against inductive probability. There followed, the next year, a discussion of the validity of the argument in the pages of the same journal involving Good, Jeffrey, and Levi as well as Popper and Miller themselves. This has led in turn to still further discussions of the argument. Those who are critical include Redhead (1985) and Dun...

Component Groups of Centralizers of Nilpotents in Complex Symmetric Space Donald R. King

Let G be the adjoint group of a simple Lie algebra g, and let KC ! Aut(pC) be the complexi ed isotropy representation at the identity coset of the corresponding symmetric space. If e 2 pC is nilpotent, we consider the centralizer of e in KC. We show that the conjugacy classes of the component group of this centralizer can be described in terms generalizing the Bala-Carter classi cation of nilpo...

THIEVES, CONVICTS AND THE INMATE CULTURE JOHN IRWIN and DONALD R. CRESSEY

tries which make use of a union hiring hall. In the absence of studies which isolate the effect of such factors, our findings cannot readily be generalized. It is tempting to suggest after an initial look at the results that social class differences provide the explanation. But subsequent analysis and research might well reveal significant intra-class variations, depending on the distribution o...

Ian Donald (1910?1987)

Ian Donald [3] was an obstetrician who developed ultrasound [4] diagnostics during the twentieth century in Europe. Ultrasound is a medical diagnostic technique that uses sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. During the early 1900s, physicians had no way to see inside a woman?s uterus [5] during pregnancy [6]. Donald developed the first method of scanning human internal anato...
