At the quarterly clinicopathological conference held at the Royal College of Physicians on 26 July 1979 Dr C C Booth (1) took the chair. He opened the conference by saying that it would take an unusual reverse form in which a pathologist, Dr I Doniach, would be invited to comment on the pathological findings and reconstruct the clinical history and that the true clinical history would be reveal...

This paper presents a new approach for large-deflection analysis of truss structures employing the Dynamic Relaxation method (DR). The typical formulation for DR has been established utilizing the finite difference technique which is categorized as an explicit method. The special characteristic of the explicit method is its simple algebraic relationships in comparison with complicated matrix op...

Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...

The convergence of the restarted GMRES method can be significantly improved, for some problems, by using a weighted inner product that changes at each restart. How does this weighting affect convergence, and when is it useful? We show that weighted inner products can help in two distinct ways: when the coefficient matrix has localized eigenvectors, weighting can allow restarted GMRES to focus o...
