" Even in cases of so-called beri-beri is the presence of the anchylostoma in them convincing evidence that they alone cause tbe disease and in the way suggested ? I think not."?Surg.-Major Dobson, Assam.?Report, 1892,^;. 66. " I altogether doubt the existence of any specific disease to which the term ankylostomiasis can be justly applied. * * * I maintain that it has yet to be shown that the p...

From the LEP precision data, upon excluding the observables Rb, Rc in a combined fit of the top-quark mass, mt, and the Higgs-boson mass, MH, within the Standard Model, we find the weak 1σ bound of 40GeV < ∼ MH < ∼ 1TeV. Stronger upper bounds on MH, sometimes presented in the literature, rely heavily on the inclusion of Rb in the data sample. Upon including Rb, the quality of the fit drasticall...

Survival from a malignant hyperthermia (MH) crisis is highly dependent on early recognition and prompt action. MH crises are very rare and an increasing use of total i.v. anaesthesia is likely to make it even rarer, leading to the potential risk of reduced awareness of MH. In addition, dantrolene, the cornerstone of successful MH treatment, is unavailable in large areas around the world thereby...

In this paper, I propose that the availability of a bound variable reading for pronouns is predictable from their morphological structure of the pronouns. More specifically I argue that noun-containing pronouns cannot be bound variables. My proposal is different from D&W's (2002) argument in that in their theory, every DPs cannot have a bound variable reading, while in my theory, even DPs can h...
