Rahman, l.r.c p. and lf.p s. (Glas.), Civil Surgeon, Burma. This Manual 1ms been compiled by Dr. Rahman to explain the methods of vaccination and its superiority to the dangerous practice of inoculation against small-pox. We entirely agree with him that a systematic training is necessary in the method of vaccination. The first chapter deala with the mortality from small-pox, its infectivity, it...

The study evaluates stickies removal efficiency of the different process stages in a deinking line of a newsprint paper mill, using 100% recovered paper as raw material. Two different situations have been considered, namely, a normal one, with a low level of stickies at the beginning of the line, and a critical situation with a high level of stickies. Removal efficiencies have been compared wit...

The main raw material for manufacture of paper is wood pulp which are mainly obtained from the pulpwood trees like Casuarina, Eucalyptus and Meliadubia. In Tamil Nadu, cultivation these was promoted by two leading manufacturing industries viz., Nadu Newsprint Paper Limited (TNPL) Seshasayee Boards (SPB).This study aims at estimating cost, returns financial feasibility major tree species cultiva...

Scrutiny of potential mergers by the European Commission often focuses on unilateral effects or single firm dominance. But some cases have involved concerns over coordinated effects: the concern that the merger could increase the likelihood of consumer harm through tacit collusion by the reduced number of firms in the industry (this is known as collective dominance). The economic and legal issu...

We present an option for CCD colour camera based ink density measurements in newspaper printing. To solve the task, first, a reflectance spectrum is reconstructed from the CCD colour camera RGB values and then a well-known relation between ink density and the reflectance spectrum of a sample being measured is used to compute the density. To achieve an acceptable spectral reconstruction accuracy...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of selected assistive devices on normal standards of gait. The gait characteristics of stride length, step length, step width, and foot angle were analyzed for 24 right-dominant, healthy men under four conditions: right ankle-foot orthosis (AFO), right hemiplegic arm sling (HAS), both devices (AFO+HAS), and no devices. The dependent varia...

This paper reports on a experiment to identify the emotional loading (the “valence”) of news headlines. The experiment reported is based on a resource-thrifty approach for valence annotation based on a word-space model and a set of seed words. The model was trained on newsprint, and valence was computed using proximity to one of two manually defined points in a highdimensional word space — one ...
