The literature surrounding the Bell numbers is vast: see, for example, Comtet [1, Chapter 5]. Close cousins of the Bell numbers are the Uppuluri-Carpenter numbers (sometimes called the complementary Bell numbers); they count the excess of the number of set partitions of {1, . . . , n} into an even number of blocks over the number of partitions into an odd number of blocks. They are the integer ...

The overnight respiratory patterns of 25 infants at high risk and 42 infants at low risk of sudden unexpected death were studied during the first 6 months of life. 'Risk' was determined using the birth scoring criteria of Carpenter and Emery. Recordings were made at home using a twin-channel radar chest movement detector which was designed to avoid the need for contact with the infant. The reco...

A capacity theory of comprehension (M.A. Just & P.A. Carpenter, 1992) has provided an integrated account of several central aspects of sentence comprehension, such as the processing of syntactic ambiguity, complex embeddings, syntactic (non) modularity, and individual differences, in terms of the working-memory capacity for language. Some of the evidence supporting the theory is questioned by G...

OBJECTIVE To compare perinatal outcome of women after third trimester oral glucose tolerance test (GTT) following normal glucose challenge test (GCT) stratified by test results. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of women delivered in a tertiary, university affiliated medical center (2007-2012). Inclusion criteria were women with a normal 50 g GCT (<140 mg/dl) followed by GTT, who delive...

The diagnosis of pneumoconiosis during life depends upon an industrial history and radiological examination (Carpenter, Cochrane, Gilson, and Higgins, 1956). However, many miners complain of dyspnoea but have no radiological changes at all. This has led to the supposition that long exposure to industrial dust hazards may lead to pulmonary disability which is not typical pneumoconiosis (Carpente...
