The author remarks in his preface that the material has been so arranged that "the text in large type . . . may be read by itself". Yet we find on page 34 (large type) references to equations (7) and (8), which are in small type. All these, however, are unimportant oversights, and the reviewer turns from this work with the feeling that there is in it a wealth of valuable information on practica...

We show that every quasi-ordinary Weierstrass polynomial P (Z) = Z + a1(X)Z d−1 + · · ·+ ad(X) ∈ K[[X]][Z], X = (X1, . . . , Xn), over an algebraically closed field of characterisic zero K, such that a1 = 0, is ν-quasi-ordinary. That means that if the discriminant ∆P ∈ K[[X]] is equal to a monomial times a unit then the ideal (a i (X))i=2,...,d is monomial and generated by one of a i (X). We us...

The sensitivity or resistance of cancer cells and normal tissues to ionizing radiation plays an important role in the clinical setting of lung cancer treatment. However, to date the exact molecular mechanisms of intrinsic radiosensitivity have not been well explained. In this study, we compared the radiosensitivity or radioresistance in two non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), H460 and A549, a...

wider culture. The narcissism seen in Jung expands to Freud and Jung, to other modern psychologies, to the young people of the late 1960s and 1970s "doing their own thing", to almost anyone involved in their own psychological analysis. The narcissistic process tends to be seen everywhere, in the same sense that hysteria had been seen as the typical mental disorder of the late nineteenth century...
