SOME CURRENT PROBLEMS OF LITHOLOGY

Phenylketonuria. Some current problems.

Some current obstetric and gynaecological problems.

It has never been right to practise obstetrics and gynaecology in a purely mechanistic style. Medical practitioners have always discussed and argued, often driven by their patients, both the ethical framework and the individual circumstantial detail of practice within this specialty. This chapter starts by discussing the place of ethics and minimum core values for practice. Their integration in...

Cepheids as Distance Indicators: Some Current Problems

A general review is given of the calibration of the Cepheid distance scale, with particular reference to its use in the determination of H0. Emphasis is placed on the advantage of using a galactic calibration of the Cepheid scale, rather than relying on an adopted distance to the LMC. It is then possible to use LMC data to test for possible metallicity effects on this scale.

Some Current Quantitative Problems in Corpus Linguistics and a Sketch of Some Solutions

This paper surveys a variety of methodological problems in current quantitative corpus linguistics. Some problems discussed are from corpus linguistics in general, such as the impact that dispersion, type frequencies/ entropies, and directionality (should) have on the computation of association measures as well as the impact that neglecting the sampling structure of a corpus can have on a stati...

Some Perspectives of Machine Repair Problems

In this article, we survey machine repair problems (MRP) with an emphasis on historical developments of queuing models of practical importance. The survey proceeds historically, starting with developments in 1985, when the first published review on machine interference models appeared. We attempt to elaborate some basic MRP models of the real life congestion situations. The brief survey of some...
