In this paper I use longitudinal data to study the effects of changes in industrial composition on wages during the 1970s and 1980s. I find that over ten year periods, workers who are initially in industries that subsequently expand have faster wage growth. Also, wage growth is strongly related to employment changes in industries the individual is likely to move to. These effects are larger dur...

Movement disorders and motor deficiency is highly represented among patients in Schizophrenia – residual type (DSM IV): 37% of patients examined in our research had psycho-motor disturbances. Dominant disturbances are the following: disturbed tonus among 65% of patients, abnormal postural reactions among 90%, abnormal voluntary movements among 75%, disturbed speech among 85%, disturbed static a...

To develop an approach to utilizing continuous statistical information within the Dempster- Shafer framework, we combine methods proposed by Strat and by Shafero We first derive continuous possibility and mass functions from probability-density functions. Then we propose a rule for combining such evidence that is simpler and more efficiently computed than Dempster's rule. We discuss the relatio...

This paper describes improvements to the rule chaining architecture presented in [1]. The architecture uses distributed associative memories to allow the system to utilise memory efficiently, and superimposed distributed representations in order to reduce the time complexity of a tree search to O(d), where d is the depth of the tree. This new work reduces the memory required by the architecture...

The clinical features of myocardial infarction in the elderly may be extremely variable and sometimes so unobtrusive that the diagnosis is overlooked. This study records the clinical presentation of cardiac infarction in a personal series of 387 patients, aged 65 and over, seen during a period of 11 years; 121 were aged 80 to 90 years, and 17 were over 90. Part of this series has been described...
