The tropical semi-ring is the triplet (R,⊕, ) with x⊕ y := min(x,y) and x y := x+ y . Its algebraic properties are somewhat modest, if one compares it with rings and fields, which are more common in most areas of mathematics. Still the distributive laws hold, and as an additional catch the addition is idempotent, that is, x⊕ x = x holds for all x ∈ R. As defined our tropical semi-ring is lackin...

Sherry Baker and Joseph Ouslander, M.D. assisted with editing the monograph. The purpose of this monograph is to provide a concise update on the management of anemia for multidisciplinary health professionals who work in long-term care (LTC) facilities. New information on the pathophysiology of anemia, and the availability of potentially effective therapy for anemia associated with chronic kidn...

Introduction This paper looks at the possible evolutionary paths that the current printed scholarly monograph may take, paying particular attention to the ways in which technical, economic, and cultural factors may shape this evolution. It does not predict the demise of today's printed scholarly monograph, but suggests that it will coexist with a series of successors that will offer new points ...

What are the prospects for advances in the treatment of schizophrenia as the 21st Century unfolds? It is clear that many advances have been made in the 100 years since Eugen Bleuler’s important monograph Dementia Praecox or the Group of Schizophrenias, compiled detailed clinical descriptions of his asylum patients (Bleuler 1911; 1950). Bleuler is remembered for introducing the term schizophreni...

a subject entirely beyond his comprehension and one that he must leave to the specialist. We are not suggesting that every practitioner should have a gramme or two of radium at his disposal to exper1' ment with, but he must understand something of the principles of its action and of its possibilities in the treatment of cancer, otherwise he will not be in. a position to advise his patients when...

With each of a large class of positive measures µ on the real line it is possible to associate a sequence {p n (x)} of orthogonal polynomials with the property that ∞ −∞ p m (x)p n (x)dµ(x) = 0, m = n, 1, m = n. (1) Such a sequence satisfies a three term recurrence relation xp n (x) = a n P n+1 (x) + b n P n (x) + a n−1 P n−1 (x) (2) Conversely, for suitable starting values and coefficient sequ...
