that we have adopted a disclosure policy for authors within the last year, following a related change in the policy of the British Association of Psychopharmacology (BAP) for members of Council. We are glad that we did. Disclosure is strongly preferable to concealment.

In a previous number of this Journal t the writer published an article "Upon the Presence of the Typhoid Bacillus in the Urine," and, as the result of observations upon 38 cases of typhoid fever, drew the following conclusions: (1) Typhoid bacilli were demonstrated in 9 out of the 38 cases (about 25 per cent). (2) The bacilli, when demonstrated, were always present in large numbers, and in prac...

Parasuicide is one of the commonest causes of admission to medical wards in the UK, in recent years totalling up to 100000 cases annually. Of these it is estimated that at least a third have reported a previous episode of self-harm and that 15-25% will repeat within three months (Buglass & Horton, 1974a; Morgan et al. 1976; Bancroft & Marzack, 1977). The public health impact of parasuicide is t...

Infiltration plays an essential role in increasing the soil water content as a part of hydrological cycle. affects surface runoff and conservation. It also determines sustainability groundwater system. Heavy rain intensity exceeding infiltration capacity will result runoff, excessive cause erosion. This study aims to investigate suitable rate model Mediterranean clay textured with various condi...

Stream networks are branched structures wherein water and energy move between land and atmosphere, modulated by evapotranspiration and its interaction with the gravitational dissipation of potential energy as runoff. These actions vary among climates characterized by Budyko theory, yet have not been integrated with Horton scaling, the ubiquitous pattern of eco-hydrological variation among Strah...
