It is important that Dentists handle the peroxides with the essential knowledge, because it is demonstrated that satisfa...

The collinear group SU(6)w enables us to discuss vertices, form factors and other collinear processes in an SU(6)-theory which is consistent with relativistic invariance. It leads, however, to a classification of the particles which is different from that of the “staticL SU(6)s. The general “W-spin” properties of an arbitrary spin state constructed from any number of basic spin i objects are di...

We have retrospectively compared the blood pressure load derived from 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with all clinic blood pressure readings elevated with those with only some elevated pressures to establish whether clinic readings alone are good predictors of blood pressure status. Fifty-seven patients attending a district general hospital hypertension clinic who were...

I introduce an account of when a rule normatively sus tains a practice.

I apply this model to practices of belief management and identify a substantive normative connection betwee...
