The Gothic Revival in Northumberland & County Durham

Cleft lips and palates in Northumberland and Durham.

Under present-day conditions, and particularly because of the statutory examination of all children of school age through the School Health Service. we can be certain that almost all cases of cleft lip and palate in Great Britain come to notice and are referred for surgical treatment. The exceptions are those infants who are stillborn or who die before being referred, but even of the latter a c...

Stick with your group: young children's attitudes about group loyalty.

For adults, loyalty to the group is highly valued, yet little is known about how children evaluate loyalty. We investigated children's attitudes about loyalty in a third-party context. In the first experiment, 4- and 5-year-olds watched a video of two groups competing. Two members of the losing group then spoke. The disloyal individual said she wanted to win and therefore would join the other g...

Epidemiology of Childhood Leukaemia in Northumberland and Durham.

Our understanding of the aetiology of leukaemia is progressing rapidly. Differentiation of chronic myeloid leukaemia through an abnormal chromosome 21, a high risk of acute leukaemia in mongols, again with anomalies of chromosome 21, a demonstrated association between the risk of leukaemia and the dose of radiation received, and between therapeutic irradiation and chromosomal anomalies, indicat...

The Permutation Group and Young Diagrams

The permutation, or symmetric, group, Sn is interesting at least partly because it contains subgroups isomorphic to all groups of order ≤ n. This result is known as “Cayley’s theorem”. It is also of great value in tensor analysis as the means to describe the tensor space in terms of symmetries under permutations of indicies. Here, we develop a diagrammatic approach to determining the irreducibl...
