The behaviour of the 4000 Å break index and of the equivalent width of the main Balmer lines is investigated a) for a single star as a function of effective temperature, gravity and metallicity and b) for a single stellar population as a function of age and metallicity. Consequences for the interpretation of integrated spectra are presented.

This paper describes the logical structure of the RC 4000, a 24-bit, binary computer designed for multiprogramming operation. The design is characterized by multiple accumulators, expandable storage, low-speed and high-speed data channels, storage protection, and program interruption. Processing operations include byte manipulation, word comparison, and integer and floating-point arithmetic. Ty...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 2 different polyethylene glycol (PEG) doses for the maintenance treatment of functional constipation in children. METHODS Children with functional constipation according to the Rome III criteria were randomly assigned to receive PEG 4000 at a dose of either 0.7 g/kg (high-dose group; n = 45) or 0.3 g/kg (low-dose ...

The evacuant solution (ES) is a drug that has been used to clean the colon. The most common described side effects when using this drug are abdominal symptoms; skin rash is rare. We report on two patients who presented urticaria and angioedem after the intake of an evacuant solution to make a rectoscopy. We performed allergy studies: skin prick tests with common inhalants, pure ES and the compo...

Archaeological investigations in Buckinghamshire have to date had little impact nationally on understanding of the Upper Palaeolithic or Mesolithic. Such evidence as there is comes principally from sites associated with watercourses. There has been one preliminary investigation of a late Upper Palaeolithic site and only a few relatively small-scale investigations on sites of Mesolithic date. No...
