Sir Douglas Robb

Autopsy on Sir George Douglas, A.D. 1636.

ON 12 March 1636, the inhabitants of the town of Demmin in Pomerania were astonished to hear the bells of Saint Bartholomew's Church ringing out. Their astonishment was due to the fact that it was not a Sunday when the church services took place but a Saturday and the time was eight-thirty in the evening when most good people were abed. As the bells continued to ring loud and strong, the govern...

Yes Sir, no Sir, not much difference Sir.

OBJECTIVE To assess whether making the sender's knighthood explicit in a series of letters would have any detectable effect on the response. DESIGN A random sequence was generated by flipping a coin to determine whether a letter would have 'Sir Iain Chalmers' or 'Iain Chalmers' typed under the signature. This sequence was prepared independently of the preparation of an alphabetic list of the ...

Generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler Metrics

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler metrics. We find some conditions under which the class of generalized Douglas-Weyl (&alpha, &beta)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduce to the class of Berwald metrics.

On Special Generalized Douglas-Weyl Metrics

In this paper, we study a special class of generalized Douglas-Weyl metrics whose Douglas curvature is constant along any Finslerian geodesic. We prove that for every Landsberg metric in this class of Finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if H = 0. Then we show that every Finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a Riemannian if and only if ? = 0.
