This thesis starts with a review of supersymmetric solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity; in particular flat M-branes and BPS configurations which can be constructed from them. The harmonic function rule is discussed and it is shown why this cannot be expected to apply to intersecting brane configurations where the intersection is localised. A new class of spacetimes is needed to cover these...

Maternal cigarette smoking is associated with alterations in maternal serum analytes used in screening for trisomy 21 during the second trimester of pregnancy. Thus, serum free b-hCG levels in women who smoke are reduced by 11±14% in unaffected pregnancies (Spencer, 1998; Ferriman et al., 1999) and by 16% in pregnancies affected by trisomy 21 (Spencer, 1998). The consequence of this reduction i...

A new version of the MOSAIC model of syntax acquisition is presented. The modifications to the model aim to address two weaknesses in its earlier simulations of the Optional Infinitive phenomenon: an over-reliance on questions in the input as the source for Optional Infinitive errors, and the use of an utterance-final bias in learning (recency effect), without a corresponding utterance-initial ...

In November, the FIP 2010 Pharmaceutical Sciences World Congress was held in New Orleans in association with the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists Annual Meeting and Exposition. Some of the latest thinking on dissolution was presented with a distinctly international flavor, since many of the speakers and participants were from outside the United States. In a Roundtable on Analyt...

The concerns about possible antibiotic residues and disease resistance have given rise to great caution in the use of antibiotics in the animal industry and led to the removal of antimicrobial growth promoters from the diets. Among suitable natural alternatives, essential oils have gained considerable attention. Dietary acidification may be another alternative to antimicrobial growth promoters....
