There are several resources discussing the recording of eye movements in young infants. Of these, Hainline (date; Hainline & Abramov, 1985), Aslin (1985), and Shupert and Fuchs (1988) present the issues involved, and have corresponding reviews of the development of infant eye movement. Several other sources discuss infant eye movement recording with the electrooculogram (EOG) (Finocchio, Presto...

This study proposes a modified Preston-Bennett method for the estimation of adult mortality in developing countries. Unlike previous method, proposed derives estimates directly from 5-year age distribution at mid-point inter-censal period. In other words, it does not convert distributions to single years before estimation. Results obtained empirical studies compared favourably well with those o...

We have shown that the removal rate of blanket oxide layers does not follow Preston’s law strictly. There exist two polishing regimes which are distinguished by the magnitude of the pressure and relative velocity product, pv. For large pv typically used for polishing, a constant term should be added to the Preston term for better fit to experimental data. The modified Preston’s equation has bee...

A blood-free selective agar is described which contains charcoal, ferrous sulfate, sodium pyruvate, casein hydrolysates, cefazolin, and sodium deoxycholate (CCD agar). CCD agar was compared with Preston medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from human feces, and isolation rates were similar on both media, but CCD agar was less selective. Temperature studies at 37 and 42 degrees C confirm...

In the course of several trips to Peru I had the opportunity of collecting topotypic specimens of Biomphalaria andecola (Orbigny, 1835), B. helophila (Orbigny, 1835), B. pucaraensis (Preston, 1909), Drepanotrema limayanum (Lesson, 1830), D. kermatoides (Orbigny, 1835), and Lymnaea viatrix Orbigny, 1835, besides B. tenagophila (Orbigny, 1835), Helisoma trivolvis (Say, 1817), H. duryi (Wetherby, ...

The new wing, which was originally a Conservative club known as Preston House, was added through the generosity of anonymous friends, who bought the freehold and vested it in the Hospital Trustees, in addition to which they contributed ?12,000 towards the cost of the necessary alterations. It is set well back from the road, having a north-westerly aspect with a fine view of Clapham Common. Ther...

Diets based on molasses as the principle source of energy for cattle are well established (Preston and Willis 1974). However, the use of molasses as an energy source for sheep, particularly under drought conditions, has not been studied extensively. The main purpose of the studies reported here was to measure the intake and production of sheep given diets containing a high proportion of molasse...
