DURING the last two years of the Great War your president and I had to make our way to work every day through wards crowded with wounded men, the great majority of them suffering from a streptococcus infection of their wounds. And in 1918 in those same wards we saw dozens of men die from the deadly streptococcus pneumonia that so frequently followed influenza dutring the epidemic. The end of th...

W ith the recent death of E J M (Moran) Campbell, respiratory medicine lost one of its most notable figures of the last 50 years. Moran Campbell graduated in medicine from the Middlesex Hospital London in 1949 following a career defining intercalated BSc in physiology. He then worked as a researcher and clinician at the Middlesex and later at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School and Hammersmit...

I propose and defend a novel view called “de se consequentialism,” which is noteworthy for two reasons. First, it demonstrates—contra Doug Portmore, Mark Schroeder, Campbell Brown, Michael Smith, among others—that agent-neutral consequentialism consistent with agent-centered constraints. Second, clarifies the nature of constraints, thereby meriting attention from even dedicated nonconsequential...

We show that a variation of Milnor’s μ̄-invariants, the so-called Campbell-Hausdorff invariants introduced recently by Stefan Papadima, are of finite type. This implies, in particular, that finite type link invariants can detect the non-invertibility of a link with more than one components and they are thus stronger than quantum invariants. It is still open whether finite type knot invariants (V...
