On August 9th , 1963, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, the son of USA President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier, died after 39 hours of life, being born 5 1⁄2 weeks premature.

Quantitative studies of dye adsorption by bacteria have been made (Kennedy and Barbaro, 1953; Barbaro and Kennedy, 1954; Kennedy and Woodhour, 1956; Barbaro et al., 1956) in order to measure the degree of gram-positiveness, and to study the influence of several factors on the quantity of dye retained by the microorganisms. No attention has been given, however, to the applicability of the physic...

This article charts the history of bioethics in Britain through the work of the academic lawyer Ian Kennedy.

They also typically try to link observed F0 contours directly to intonational meanings. The PENTA model of speech melody presented in this paper deviates from this tradition. First, it makes a clear separation between the meaning-bearing components of intonation, which are ...

Use of endoscopes in the sinonasal cavity dates as far back as the turn of the 20th century with Hirschmann and Reichert performing the first sino-endoscopies and sinus surgeries, respectively. Widespread use was limited until H.H. Hopkins helped address illumination difficulties with the rod optic system in the 1960s and Walter Messerklinger began systematic use of the endoscope to evaluate th...
