The results of 397 consecutive orthotopic hepatic transplantations in 333 recipients were reviewed. One or more surgical complications developed in 172 of 323 patients (55 per cent), excluding ten intraoperative deaths. The six month mortality rate among the patients with surgical complications (55 of 172; 32 per cent) was statistically higher than that among patients without such complications...

We introduce a duality construction for toric Landau-Ginzburg models, applicable to complete intersections in toric varieties via the sigma model / Landau-Ginzburg model correspondence. This construction is shown to reconstruct those of Batyrev-Borisov, Berglund-Hübsch, Givental, and HoriVafa. It can be done in more general situations, and provides partial resolutions when the above constructio...

In his paper ‘Some arguments about legal arguments’, Thorne McCarty [1] pleads for a theory construction approach in AI and Law research. Legal materials should not be taken at face value, but are amenable to reconstruction. This line of argument is well in line with a teleological tradition in legal theory that has historical roots in the * > around 1900 [2, 3] and which is more recently exemp...

To the Editor – We face, after over two decades of not-so-benign neglect, a serious deficit of alternative-energy (AE)-oriented basic science researchers. Indeed, a major problem in meeting the global energy challenge may well be the paucity of top scientists pursuing AE-related research problems. This deficit has the potential to self-proliferate, because a limited core of experienced research...
