Nutrition , Poverty and Calorie Fundamentalism : Response to Utsa Patnaik

Utsa Patnaik’s critique (“A Critical Look at Some Propositions on Consumption and Poverty”, 6 February 2010) of the authors’ earlier paper on food and nutrition (“Food and Nutrition in India: Facts and Interpretations”, 14 February 2009) does not stand up to scrutiny. She claims that the observed decline in calorie intake at given levels of real per capita expenditure is an illusion due to faul...

Recently the first detections of highly ionised gas associated with two Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) filaments have been reported. The evidence is based on X-ray absorption lines due to O VII and other ions observed by Chandra towards the bright blazar Mrk 421. We investigate the robustness of this detection by a re-analysis of the original Chandra LETGS spectra, the analysis of a large...

Mathema Tics: Harish-chandra

Harish-chandra Vertices

The irreducible complex representations of nite groups of Lie type are divided into series by means of the Harish-Chandra philosophy, whose starting point is the concept of cuspidal characters (see e.g..Sr]). The classiication of the irreducible characters of such a group G can be done in two steps: First nd all cuspidal irreducible characters of Levi subgroups L of G. Then apply Harish-Chandra...

ity and on the receipt of infertility services from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) allow us to determine whether and how these phenomena have changed since they were last measured in 1988. Such trend analysis has implications for projecting future health care costs, particularly in an arena of changing insurance coverage and potential health care reform. It may also be relevan...
