On some aspects of psychiatric diagnosis

Some Aspects of Medical Diagnosis

Since mid July Steve Pauker, Jerome Kassirer, and I (Gerald Jay Sussman) have been observing the diagnostic process of expert physicians with the goal of abstracting the underlying procedures being followed. One purpose of this position paper is to summarize our preliminary conclusions. I will attempt to pinpoint those aspects of the process we feel we understand, and where we are confused or u...

Some aspects of cosheaves on diffeological spaces

We define a notion of cosheaves on diffeological spaces by cosheaves on the site of plots. This provides a framework to describe diffeological objects such as internal tangent bundles, the Poincar'{e} groupoids, and furthermore, homology theories such as cubic homology in diffeology by the language of cosheaves. We show that every cosheaf on a diffeological space induces a cosheaf in terms of t...

Some aspects of the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis.

THE majority of patients suffermg from thyrotoxicosis can be reliably diagnosed from the history and physical exammation together with laboratory techniques, particularly the measurement of basal metabohc rate, radio-iodme uptake and protem-bound iodine. There are a number of patients, however, who present difficult diagnostic problems either because of previous treatment for thyrotoxicosis, me...

Study on some aspects of seed viability and vigor

Influences on viability and germination of seeds have been studied intensively for many years, particularly for the numer-ous commercially important agricultural, ornamental, and timber species. High germinating seed lots may differ substantially in field emergence when sown at the same time in the same field, and/or may differ in performance after storage in the same environment or transport t...
