This contribution discusses Ralph Lee’s volume Symbolic Interpretations in Ethiopic and Early Syriac Literature, particular his proposal about what were the channels of cultural transmission between Christian literatures which could justify consistent number parallels found two poetical liturgical traditions. model used to explain these is proved questionable, an alternative hypothesis offered:...

VLSI devices consist of highly complicated and dense circuit patterns. Lithography is the process by which the circuit patterns are transferred on to the semiconductor wafer, and current techniques can offer resolutions of around 100nm. However, as demand increases for smaller devices, the resolution offered by current techniques will not be satisfactory. We will look at current techniques, the...

Spiritual care is integral to palliative care, and palliative care experience in offering spiritual care can be a resource for the emerging healthcare interest in spirituality. Spirituality is best understood in terms of the web of relationships that gives coherence to our lives, uniquely identifying each person. In palliative care, responsibility for spiritual care is shared by the whole team,...

Measurements are made of the heat transferred between two identical parallel-plate heat exchangers under conditions of oscillating flow over a range of frequencies and amplitudes. The results are analyzed and summarized in terms of heat-exchanger effectiveness, the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate to the maximum possible heat transfer rate. Measured results are compared to the DELTAE mode...

Preimplantation diagnosis provides couples at high genetic risk the possibility of avoiding genetic disease without the need for prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion of the affected pregnancy. Following extensive background work on the reliability of genetic diagnosis in a single cell, we offered on a research basis preimplantation diagnosis to five couples at risk for offspring with the d...
