When I was first in practice I had a patient, a university student, who developed strep throat. Because he was allergic to penicillin, I prescribed him a course of erythromycin. He came back to see me after he had completed the antibiotics. I was shocked by his appearance. He was pale, had dark circles under his eyes, and had lost a substantial amount of weight. He looked far worse than when he...

In this paper we critically analyze the so far performed and proposed tests for measuring the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with some of the existing accurately tracked artificial satellites. The impact of the 2nd generation GRACE-only EIGEN-GRACE02S Earth gravity model and of the 1st CHAMP+GRACE+terrestrial gravity combined EIGEN-CG01C Earth...

gravity recovery and climate experiment (grace) satellite gravimetry mission launched in march 2002 based on its twin gravimetric satellites makes application of both high-low (hl) and law-low (ll) gravimetric techniques possible. the ll is based on satellite-to-satellite tracking (sst) via the one way two frequencies k-band-ranging between the two grace satellites. as a result of combination o...

ooking back, the signs were there for several years. Grandma Blanche started misplacing her keys and wallet in her early 50s. Having lived through the Great Depression, my grandma would hide money around the house rather than have it all deposited in a bank. The problem was she would forget where she hid it. I can remember my mother going through every inch of Grandma’s house one day and collec...

The language Grace is being proposed for specifying and programming in a graph-centered environment based on graph transformation. Emphasis in the design of Grace is laid on modular structur-ing of programs. In this paper we present a simple kind of modules for the language which encapsulate rules and graph transformation units, and export some of them. The local transformation units deene comp...

the military hopsitals of India. Those whose niemoiies of India carry them hack to the year 1888 will not forget the arrival of the nursing sisters and the difference which they made in the comforts of the station hospitals in India. The little book is edited by Surgeon-General A F. Bradshaw, CB, who will be remembered bv many as P. M. O. in Rawal Pindi, and afterward as P. M. 0., H. M.'s Force...

The vertical motion of the Earth’s surface is dominated by hydrologic cycle on a seasonal scale. Accurate land deformation measurements can provide constructive insight into regional geophysical process. Although Global Positioning System (GPS) delivers relatively accurate measurements, GPS networks are not uniformly distributed across globe, posing challenge to obtaining information in data-sp...
