Aspects of the use of filter paper discs in collecting tear samples for lysozyme tests were studied by serial weighings of bijoux bottles and tear-moistened discs. Blotted discs carried from 1.9 to 3.6 mg tears, but for practical purposes no deposit was left in the bottle. Unblotted discs carried a greater quantity of tear fluid, but the majority deposited a proportion of this in the bottle, an...

polyribosome profiles were modelled by computer simulation by assuming each species to be normally distributed, and thence the percentage of ribosomes present as dimers and smaller species was calculated). Just such results were to be expected, from investigations of heart postmitochondrial supernatants (Morgan et al., 197 1). These latter preparations are, however, extremely poor at cell-free ...

In an interesting communication 011 this subject by Khan Bahadur C. R. Avari and L,ieutenant-Colonel F. P. Mackie, i.m.s., published in the Indian Medical Gazette for December 1924, the authors do the writer of this memoir the honour of generously referring to his films which they had seen a short time previously from the lesions of a dog under his observation. Although it is rather late in rec...

We analyze coherent two-color photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate, focusing on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in free-bound-bound transitions from atoms to molecules. This problem raises an interest because STIRAP has been predicted to be absent in the nondegenerate case [Javanainen and Mackie, Phys. Rev. A 58, R789 (1998)]. Nevertheless, we find that Bose stimulation en...

Moral error theory of the kind defended by J.L. Mackie and Richard Joyce is premised on two claims: (1) that moral judgements essentially presuppose that moral value has absolute authority, and (2) that this presupposition is false, because nothing has absolute authority. This paper accepts (2) but rejects (1). It is argued first that (1) is not the best explanation of the evidence from moral p...

The diffusion of water in mixtures of water and poly(vinyl alcohol) (0-97%) has been investigated using atomistic molecular dynamics simulation. The dependence of the calculated diffusion coefficients on the polymer concentration follows the Mackie-Meares equation to a good approximation. It is found that the pattern of water diffusion undergoes a pronounced change with concentration and temper...

[C]ausal statements are commonly made in some context, against a background which includes the assumption of some causal field. A causal statement will be the answer to a causal question, and the question ‘What caused this explosion?’ can be expanded into ‘What made the difference between those times, or those cases, within a certain range, in which no such explosion occurred, and this case in ...

Nominal rewriting (Fernández, Gabbay & Mackie, 2004; Fernández & Gabbay, 2007) is a framework that extends first-order term rewriting by a binding mechanism based on the nominal approach (Gabbay & Pitts, 2002; Pitts, 2003). In this paper, we investigate confluence properties of nominal rewriting, following the study of orthogonal systems in (Suzuki et al., 2015), but here we treat systems in wh...
