These are simple virilization, virilization with excessive sodium loss and danger to life and virilization combined with hypertension. Clinical subvariants have also been described in association with hypoglycaemia (White and Sutton, 1951; Wilkins, Crigler, Silverman, Gardner and Mig...

telligence was conceived in the last two decades of the 20th century: Frames of Mind, Gardner (1983); Beyond IQ, Sternberg (1985); The Bell Curve, Herrnstein and Murray (1994); and Emotional Intelligence, Goleman (1995).

These students perceived their strengths in interpersonal, intrapersonal, and verbal-linguistic intelligences, and their weaknesses in bodilykinaesthetic and naturalist intelligences. They also indicated that they engaged...

If ∇ is a torsionless connection on the tangent bundle of a manifold M the Weyl curvature W is the part of the curvature in kernel of the Ricci contraction. We give a coordinate free proof of Weyl’s result that W vanishes if and only if (M,∇) is (locally) diffeomorphic to RP with ∇, when transported to RP, in the projective class of ∇LC , the Levi-Civita connection of the Fubini–Study metric on...

John Ridgway went to Clifton College when the family moved from Newcastle-under-Lyme to Bristol.

We use a unique firm-level panel data set of multinational parents and their foreign affiliates to analyze whether profits are shared across borders within multinational firms. Using both fixed-effects and generalized method-of-moments estimators, affiliate wage levels are estimated to respond to both affiliate and parent profitability. The elasticity of affiliate wages to parent profits per wo...

Polar exploration history should easily capture a wide range of imaginations, and ‘climate change’ together with the anthropogenic component of its causes and consequences is a topic that is now discussed by ordinary people across the world. However, it is a large, multifaceted and highly complex concept to come to grips with, where the devil is often in the detail. Thus, it is no mean task to ...
