SPONTANEOUS rupture of the oesophagus is an uncommon but not a rare condition. Early diagnosis is essential because the patient's only hope for survival lies in early definitive surgery. Even with surgery, the survival rate varies between only 64% (Derbes & Mitchell, 1956) and 73% (Anderson, 1952). Without surgery death is inevitable (Derbes & Mitchell, 1956). The diagnosis is often not difficu...

With the prevalence of electronic supply chain integration (e-SCI), increasingly more customers are asking their suppliers to integrate IT infrastructure for SCM and many suppliers indeed comply with their customers’ requests. However, a supplier can have multiple customers and limited resources . Therefore, the supplier typically responds to its customers’ requests for IT infrastructure integr...

We summarize the known methods of producing a non-supercompact strongly compact cardinal and describe some new variants. Our Main Theorem shows how to apply these methods to many cardinals simultaneously and exactly control which cardinals are supercompact and which are only strongly compact in a forcing extension. Depending upon the method, the surviving non-supercompact strongly compact cardi...

Metadata is the cornerstone of Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) and Digital Humanities (DH) enterprises, and is a fundamental aspect of data management discourse. Information professionals with metadata knowledge are situated as central players in such environments, while those workers lacking such expertise are typically encouraged to acquire it. Metadata literacy, a term defi...

]p REVIOUS work has indicated that there are at least two loci (ma-Z+ and r y f ) * in Drosophila melanogaster capable of mutating independently to produce a deficiency of xanthine dehydrogenase (FORREST, GLASSMAN and MITCHELL 1956). Some results of this deficiency are accumulations of the substrates (hypoxanthine and 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine) of this enzyme, and a lack of the products (uric ...

Since Rubner (1879) first demonstrated a variation in the efficiency with which nitrogen from different proteins was retained in the body, many workers have investigated methods by which the ‘biological value’ of proteins might be determined and divers criteria to this end have been suggested. N-balance studies in growth, maintenance, reproduction, fertility and lactation, growth itself, and lo...
