Measurements of the self-diffusion coefficient in supercooled ~ater to 300 MPa are reported. Translational diffusion in liquid water at 243 K is enhanced by 60% when the pressure is increased from 0. 1 to 150 MPa, and rotational diffusion is enhanced by almost 250% between 0. 1 and 250 MPa. These striking anomalies are interpreted in terms of the proximity of a conjectured line of spinodal-like...

In a recent editorial I discussed the future of scientific publication. 1 I mentioned Joshua Lederberg’s EUGRAM— the process of sending messages and “publishing” papers via computer terminals. z While Lederberg’s preview of the future may cause some readers “future shock, ” I wondered how much different publication will be in 2001 than it was 300 years ago. Although the technology of producing ...

ENGL 302 Topics in British Literature since 1800: British Drama from Wilde to Stoppard. Instr. R Elliott. 11:00 MW. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Great Britain, though its empire was at its zenith, was a theatrical backwater. The innovative plays of Ibsen, Strindberg, and other Continental playwrights had only begun to have an impact, and the popular stage was awash in stilted melo...

Despite several studies and models, much remains unclear about how the human basal ganglia operate. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment for complicated Parkinson's disease, but how DBS acts also remains unknown. The clinical benefit of DBS at frequencies >100 Hz suggests the possible importance of neural rhythms operating at frequencies higher...

Out of 300 patients who had taken benoxaprofen for a mean of 6.4 months, 196 (65.3%) reported side effects, resulting in 104 patients (34.6%) having the drug withdrawn. Out of 42 patients aged over 70, 35 (83.3%) had side effects and 29 (69.0%) had the drug withdrawn because of them. cutaneous side effects accounted for 180 (69.5%) of all 259 side effects reported. The commonest cutaneous side ...

Three hundred consecutive cases of radial keratotomy performed between 1985 and 1990 were reviewed. There were no sight threatening complications of surgery and no patient lost one or more lines of corrected Snellen acuity. Overall 78.7% saw 6/12 or better unaided postoperatively and 51.7% saw 6/6 or better. Refraction showed 61.3% to be within 1 dioptre of emmetropia and 86.7% were within 2 di...

To determine whether methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300 commonly caused infections among Alaska Natives, we examined clinical MRSA isolates from the Alaska Native Medical Center, Anchorage, during 2000–2006. Among Anchorage-region residents, USA300 was a minor constituent among MRSA isolates in 2000–2003 (11/68, 16%); by 2006, USA300 was the exclusive genotype identifi ed...
