PROGNOSIS IN INSANITY DEPENDENT ON ARTIFICIAL FEEDING

On Hallucinations in Insanity

The hallucinations and illusions of melancholic monomania (lypemania of Esquirol) are characterized by fixity, intensity, and tenacity, as well as by expression, which distinguish them from those observed in acute delirium and mania. The integrity of the reasoning power, excepting always some obscured portions, "permits lis in most cases to analyse the phenomena and follow their modifications w...

In the first place, therefore, attention must be directed towards a comparison between human breast milk and cow’s milk.

Variations on Instant Insanity

In one of the first papers about the complexity of puzzles, Robertson and Munro [12] proved that a generalized form of the thenpopular Instant Insanity puzzle is NP-complete. Here we study several variations of this puzzle, exploring how the complexity depends on the piece shapes and the allowable orientations of those shapes. Prepared in honor of Ian Munro’s 66th birthday.
