چکیده
(Continued from page 252.) This work liad scarcely been completed when the arrival of cholera in New York Harbour was announced. Upon the development of the disease in the small towns upon the Delaware river, a cordon de sante was established, and no communication was permitted between the island and the mainland, except by a boat's crew, of whom but one man was permitted to go on shore to obtain the mail. The post having been provisioned for several months, there was no necessity for drawing supplies from the mainland(i). Delaware city, the nearest mail station to Fort Delaware, suffered severely. Of a population of 1,500 inhabitants thirty odd cholera deaths occurred during the month of. August.(c) As a medical man, my services were constantly demanded for consultation in cases upon the mainland, and the cordon was relaxed as regards myself; but having learned from my study of Pettenkofer's writings that cholera germs could attach themselves to objects, I adopted the precaution of changing my clothing at an isolated shed whenever I left and returned to the island. I had made many such visits, and had seen many cases in which I was unable to trace the medium of infection, when I began to think that nil precautions against conveying the disease were useless, and on the 9th of September, late in the evening, I returned to the island (after having spent the day at the bedside of a cholera case) and proceeded to my quarters, without taking the precaution of changing my clothing. In the room of my wife, who was at the time an

NLO photon parton parametrization using ee and ep data
An NLO photon parton parametrization is presented based on the existing F γ 2 measurements from e +e− data and the low-x proton structure function from ep interactions. Also included in the extraction of the NLO parton distribution functions are the dijets data coming from γp → j1+j2+X. The new parametrization is compared to other NLO parametrizations.

متن کاملCritical Success Factors for Data Virtualization: A Literature Review
Data Virtualization (DV) has become an important method to store and handle data cost-efficiently. However, it is unclear what kind of data and when data should be virtualized or not. We applied a design science approach in the first stage to get a state of the art of DV regarding data integration and to present a concept matrix. We extend the knowledge base with a systematic literature review ...
