THE time seems to be ripe for a study of results, and it is my intention today to give a summary of the results obtained by prostatectomy through the perineal route by the technique previously described by me. (Journal of the Ameri-In these papers the technique of the operation has been so fully detailed that I will not now make a repetition of its

We transpose a conservative extension theorem from structural operational semantics to conditional term rewriting. The result is useful for the development of software renovation factories, and for modular speciication of abstract data types.

It is common to have interval predictions for volatilities and other quantities governing securities prices. The purpose of this paper is to provide an exact method for converting such intervals into arbitrage based prices of financial derivatives or industrial or contractual options. We call this procedure conservative delta hedging. The proposed approach will permit an institution’s managemen...

In Phoniatric Dpt. everyday practice we try to keep specific multidisciplinary approach to the communication disorders, that includes an expert team using modern technology. Over the last six years we have treated 110 singers (3% of all new cases) and the results of their diagnostic and therapeutic management are presented here. There were 67 women and 43 men, 41 were smokers and 69 nonsmokers....

Conservative logic is a comprehensive model of computation which explicitly reflects a number of fundamental principles of physics, such as the reversibility of the dynamical laws and the conservation of certain additive quantities (among which energy plays a distinguished role). Because it more closely mirrors physics than traditional models of computation, conservative logic is in a better po...

Traditional explicit numerical discretizations of conservative systems generically predict artificial secular drifts of any nonlinear invariants. In this work we present a general approach for developing explicit nontraditional algorithms that conserve such invariants exactly. We illustrate the method by applying it to the three-wave truncation of the Euler equations, the Lotka–Volterra predato...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous retropharyngeal haematoma is an unusual condition. It has multiple aetiological factors and can present to a number of specialists including the otolaryngologist. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of spontaneous retropharyngeal haematoma which demonstrates the dramatic presentation and emphasises the need for a conservative approach. CONCLUSION It is important to...

Safety is a desirable property that can immensely increase the applicability of learning algorithms in real-world decision-making problems. It is much easier for a company to deploy an algorithm that is safe, i.e., guaranteed to perform at least as well as a baseline. In this paper, we study the issue of safety in contextual linear bandits that have application in many different fields includin...

ALTHOUGH MEDICAL AND PHARMACY CURRICULA and journals are rich with information about drugs and treatment of specific diseases, there is a paucity of education on ways to become effective lifetime prescribers. Two recent reports from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) lamented the current state of pharmacology teaching and the disturbing extent of pharmaceutical industry influen...
