ii " When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind. "

We show that there is a forcing extension in which any two ultrafilters on ω are nearly coherent and there is a non-meagre filter that is not nearly ultra. This answers Blass’ longstanding question (1989) of whether the principle of near coherence of filters is strictly weaker than the filter dichotomy

The meagre Argyrosomus regius, one of the largest sciaenidae in world, is a valuable resource for fisheries and aquaculture. Despite its socioeconomic relevance, knowledge about population dynamics wild stocks still scarce, conservation risks are associated with overexploitation. Two genetic distinct groups, North Atlantic Ocean eastern Mediterranean Sea, were identified by previous studies. Ho...

In this study, microbiological, sensory and color changes in vacuum-packed meagre fillets treated with aqueous ozone for different periods of time were investigated. Meagre 15 (O-15) 30 (O-30) minutes stored at +2 °C 12 days. Control group (C) was not after vacuum packaging. For microbiological changes, Total Mesophilic Aerobic Bacteria (TMAB), Pseudomonas sp. , Lactic Acid (LAB) Psychrophilic ...

ONG PERIODS of latency, spontaneous remissions and nonsurgical “cures” in a variety of malignancies have stimulated speculation and expenimentation concerning immunity in cancer, a subject recently reviewed generally,1’2 and in reference to specific immune mechanisms3’4 of tumor inhibition and rejection. Acceptance of an immune theory in spontaneous cancer control demands demonstration of tumor...

Statements have recently appeared in various medical journals that serious lesions may occur as a result of the operation of tracheotomy without manifesting their presence till some time after the wound has healed. The details given are very meagre, but they indicate that the most important of these late sequelae are conditions causing stenosis of the tracheal lumen. My attention was first draw...

"Goitre" is here used in its broad sense to indicate all thyroid enlargements. Even a meagre review of the literature will show the complexity of this condition by the numerous theories offered. The outstanding factors concerning the etiology which seem to have the most accurate scientific support are iodine deficiency [Marine and co-workers (1)] and the accumulation of toxic products [McCarris...

"No problem in forensic medicine has been investigated as thoroughly as that of determining the time of death on the basis of post mortem findings. Apart from its obvious legal importance, its solution has been so elusive as to provide a constant intellectual challenge to workers in many sciences. In spite of the great effort and ingenuity expended, the results have been meagre". (Ref. 15 at p....
