A combination of emetine hydrochloride with chloroquine yields better results than either drug alone in the treatment of amoebic liver abscess in adults (Wilmot, Powell, and Adams, 1959). A similar combination of dehydroemetine with chloroquine is equally satisfactory (Wilmot, Powell, MacLeod, and Elsdon-Dew, 1964; Powell, Wilmot, MacLeod, and Elsdon-Dew, 1967). Dehydroemetine is claimed to be ...

We consider the problem of constructing a C1 piecewise quadratic interpolant, Q, to positional and gradient data defined at the vertices of a tessellation of n-simplices in IR. The key to the interpolation scheme is to appropriately subdivide each simplex to ensure that certain necessary geometric constraints are satisfied by the subdivision points. We establish these constraints using the Bern...

On February 14, 2005, the University of Colorado School of Law welcomed then-Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell to present a keynote address at the Silicon Flatirons Telecommunications Program Symposium, ‘‘The Digital Migration: Rewriting the ‘96 Telecom Act.’’ After being introduced by thenColorado Secretary of Innovation and Technology Leroy Williams, Chairman Powell wa...

The Beale-Powell restart algorithm is highly useful for large-scale unconstrained optimization. In this paper, we use an example to show that the algorithm may fail to converge. The global convergence of a slightly modiied algorithm is proved.

martin powell makes the point that the death of the national health service (nhs) is constantly asserted without criteria. this article suggests that the nhs is many things, which makes criteria unstable. the alignment of interests in the structure of the nhs enables both overheated rhetoric and political strength, and that pluralization of provision might actually undermine that alignment over...
