extent " progressive ". Many aspects of the nurse's life are considered, such as feeding, health, life in the Nurses Home, hours of work and systems of training both in ward and lecture room, and although full weight is given to administrative difficulties, practical measures for reform are freely advocated. Probationers' difficulties are explored, particularly those inherent in the double role...

The reliability of a product is a function of the product’s architecture, constituent parts and materials, as well as its life cycle environmental conditions. Of these, determination of the life cycle environment (which includes manufacturing, handling, transportation, and application conditions) is often the most uncertain part in the calculation of reliability. This paper presents a methodolo...

Phlegon of Tralles was a Greek historian and writer, born in Tralles, a city of Lydia in Asia Minor. He was a freedman of the emperor Hadrian, who lived in the 2nd century AD. Besides his magnum opus, “The Olympiads”, among other writings of which only fragments have survived to date, he also produced a compilation of marvelous and abnormal natural or human phenomena presented as paradoxical st...

In the present paper we solve this local problem for two special cases, the group SL(3), which is not so interesting, and the group SU(3), and then conclude that transfer exists for any group of type A2. The methods are those of [4], and are based on techniques of Igusa for the study of the asymptotic behavior of integrals on p-adic manifolds. (As observed in [7], the existence of the transfer ...

Life Satisfaction We analyze the determinants of global life satisfaction in two countries (The Netherlands and the U.S.), by using both self-reports and responses to a battery of vignette questions. We find global life satisfaction of happiness is well-described by four domains: job or daily activities, social contacts and family, health, and income. Among the four domains, social contacts and...

Some properties of τ If we put ∆(z) = D(e), Im (z) > 0, (3) then it is known that the function ∆ is, up to a constant factor, the unique cusp form of weight 12 for the group SL (2,Z). In particular, the function ∆ is, for each prime number p, an eigenfunction of the Hecke operator Tp, with corresponding eigenvalue τ(p) (cf. e.g. Hecke [6], p. 644–671). This implies the following properties, whi...
