This text-book embodies as far as possible the surgical teaching given at the London Hospital. The main object of the book is to give the student an introduction to surgery, and the author also expresses a hope that it may prove useful during his subsequent career, as special emphasis is laid on diagnosis and treatment. A careful perusal of many sections of this work has convinced us that this ...

Since the inception of the FDA good laboratory practice (GLP) regulations in 1979, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) principles of GLP in 1981 and the finalization of the EPA GLP programme in 1983 there have been recognizable differences among the three compliance programmes.

This § just establishes some standard verbiage for things that are defined in terms of elementary topological notions. The most general setting that we want actually to use in this course is a metric space, but the propositions are so easy to state for general topological spaces that there is no reason not to do that. People who are unacquainted with topological spaces can simply think in metri...

The more technical portions are omitted, as well as much that is interesting chiefly from the poetic or emotional standpoint.

Abstract Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) are growing in popularity as a method of controlling smart home features. However, as VUIs grow in popularity, major obstacles still negatively impact their performance and user experience. Since VUIs are invisible by nature, users find it difficult t...

Past TREC experiments by the University of Massachusetts have focused primarily on ad-hoc query creation. Substantial eeort was directed towards automatically translating TREC topics into queries, using a set of simple heuristics and query expansion. Less emphasis was placed on the routing task, although results were generally good. The Spanish experiments in TREC-3 concentrated on simple index...

ABSTRACT Our study examined the effects of biased and unbiased lineup instructions verbiage on accuracy eyewitness identification in a suspect-absent photographic lineup. Seventy subjects were randomly assigned to either instruction condition or an where they watched mocked crime video, solved word-search puzzles for five minutes, completed lineup, then online post-witness experience feedback q...

Under the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), energy infrastructure projects that are permitted by federal agencies require preparation and publication of an environmental impact assessment. However, fifty years after passage NEPA, agencies’ compliance behaviors, how these behaviors might shape risks associated with infrastructure, remain largely unexplored. Here, we consider assessm...
