Ever since Hayek’s 1937 classic, “Economics and Knowledge,” Austrians and other sympathetic writers have rightly emphasized study of the coordination properties of an economic system. To this end, they have claimed a distinction between the Hayekian focus on coordination and the neoclassical focus on equilibrium and efficiency. Although genuine and important, this distinction has yet to be sati...

The clarification of mixed juice has been the subject of research for decades, due mostly to its large impact on sugar quality. Much, if not all, of the work has however been done on mixed juice originating from milling rather than from diffusion. This paper examines a back-to-basics, laboratory approach, involving cane juices produced from conditions simulating milling and diffusion. Furthermo...

In this paper, we investigate how people construct clarification questions. Our goal is to develop similar strategies for handling errors in automatic spoken dialogue systems in order to make error recovery strategies more efficient. Using a crowd-sourcing tool [7], we collect a dataset of user responses to clarification questions when presented with sentences in which some words are missing. W...

The compositions of the various organic and inorganic species in cane molasses show wide variations. Centrifugation can be used to remove suspended so!id particles. The bulk of these are precipitated calcium compounds. Removal of calcium by precipitation and subsequent centrifugation can be enhanced by the addition of sulphuric acid. The effects of dilution, temperature, and acid addition on th...

A high performance clarification system has been discussed for advanced aqueous reprocessing of FBR spent fuel. Dissolver residue gives the cause of troubles on the plant operation of reprocessing. In this study, the new clarification system based on the hybrid of centrifuge and filtration was proposed to get the high separation ability of the component of whole insoluble sludge. The clarificat...

Dr. Izbicki and colleagues1 are to be congratulated on their report of 26 patients with “sarcoid-like” granulomatous pulmonary disease (SLGPD) in Fire Department of New York (FDNY) World Trade Center (WTC) rescue workers. This adds to their previous descriptions of “WTC cough,” persistent airway hyperreactivity, and accelerated decline in lung function that have provided the largest share of th...

In a recent issue of Blood, the International Lymphoma Study Group (ILSG) presented a list of lymphoid neoplasms derived by consensus, and suggested that it could serve as a practical classification of these tumors for both pathologists and clinicians.’ Each of the entities on the list represents a clearly recognizable and distinct disease, based on currently available morphologic, immunologic,...
