^ dEsire first to express my appreciation of the compliment Paid rns in inviting me to lecture before the Bristol MedicoCh" lrurgical Society, and to voice the very keen and heartfelt P^asure I experience in meeting once again my former *eachers and fellow-students. I spent six of the happiest ^ears ?f my life at the old Bristol Medical School, first as Sclent and later as Medical Tutor, and ma...

I have been honoured by your President with a request that I would this evening address you upon the study of meteorology in its relations to that branch of etiological research which gives its designation to this Society. The compliment is one which I am conscious of not deserving in any way, and, while responding to it, I wish in all sincerity to start by disabusing your minds of any expectat...

Methods A systematic review is being conducted of sample size methodology for cluster randomised trials. The sources for the search include electronic databases PubMed and Web of Science, key text books on cluster randomised trials and discussions with experts in the field. The search strategy involves a compliment of Medical Subject Headings and free text terms to aid a comprehensive search. T...

We develop combinatorial tools to study the relationship between the Stanley depth of a monomial ideal I and the Stanley depth of its compliment, S/I. Using these results we are able to prove that if S is a polynomial ring with at most 5 indeterminates and I is a square-free monomial ideal, then the Stanley depth of S/I is strictly larger than the Stanley depth of I. Using a computer search, we...

Implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) will require shifting more roles to the flight deck. The proposed tools and displays for facilitating these added tasks primarily deliver information through visual means. This saturates an already loaded channel while perhaps underutilizing the auditory modality. This paper describes audio enhancements we have developed ...

In electing me an honorary member of the Manchester Medical Society and inviting me to address you on the occasion of the Centenary you have paid me a very great compliment for which I give you my warmest thanks. I believe there is a three-fold reason for my being thus honoured. The first and strongest is the personal friendship between your President and myself, the second was a desire to ackn...

A method of modeling personal relationships is proposed grounded on two main aspects, the subjective relevance and emotional component of the user, and the objective categorization of their relationships. This model is built as a connected graph with its principal node depicting the complete sum of all of the emotional components surrounded by paradigm and discovered relationships joined to thi...

We investigate the role of respect and monetary gifts in the service industry. We report findings from purchases of more than 800 doner durum, a common lunch snack. Prior to the food’s preparation, we either give a compliment about the product, or a monetary gift by tipping. We repeat the interaction on five consecutive days. Our findings show that salespersons exhibit positive reciprocity in r...

We present a hybrid learning algorithm called Learning Algorithm using SEarch Rings (LASER). LASER combines Naive Bayes and 1-Nearest neighbor learners in a multistrategic way. The Naive Bayes and the Nearest Neighbor algorithms seem to compliment each other in their search technique and their bias and present a interesting category of learning algorithms called complimentary learners. LASER us...
