AMONG TE lives of the many men and women who have been qualified to practise the art of medicine are a number who have moved from that discipline into others where they have made a name and reputation for themselves which they might not have attained to had they remained loyal to their first choice: yet they have brought to their other work something which they learned in the days when their fi...

Measured in this study was the ability of eight hearing and five deaf subjects to identify the stress pattern in a short sentence from the variation in voice fundamental frequency (F0), when presented aurally (for hearing subjects) and when transformed into vibrotactile pulse frequency. Various transformations from F0 to pulse frequency were tested in an attempt to determine an optimum transfor...

It is with great sadness and shock that we learned of having lost on Friday September 6, 2013 a great friend, father, husband, scientist, mentor, symposium organizer, and a revolutionary intellectual thinker, who had a remarkable ability of addressing and describing fundamental problems in laser physics in new and enlightening ways. Although it is impossible to adequately capture the full exten...

a telephone trumpet t. When the primary circuit is closed, the enclosed iron bar d becomes magnetised, and in its turn it magnetises the smaller bar b. Secondary currents are thus induced in the fine coil around b. It will be observed that the prolonged axis of d cuts b at its middle ; two secondary currents of equal strength and running in opposite directions are thus induced in the fine coil ...

Although Superintendent of Lingfield Colony for 30 years, Dr. Fox was always firm in his belief that colony life was only essential for a minority of patients, and even for them that it should only be regarded as a period for stabilization and drug adjustment. It was one of his greatest satisfactions that the last 10 or 15 years showed such startling changes in drug therapy. He often said that ...

A monoclonal antibody, FBT3, was raised against Tn positive erythrocytes and, using immuno-histochemistry, fresh and fixed tissues from patients with cancer were studied to detect any expression of a Tn-like epitope. Expression was found in neoplastic cells, usually both in cytoplasm and on cell membranes, from 104 of 147 cases of carcinoma and 1 of 13 cases of lymphoma, but rarely in adjacent,...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves inhaling 100% oxygen at greater than one atmosphere absolute (ATA) in a pressurized chamber. The air we breathe at sea level is defined as 1 ATA. Many of the clinical uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) have been at pressures above 1.5 ATA. However, recently, some researchers have been using lower pressures of hyperbaric oxygen therapy with good results i...
