involved, not least the leading player himself, Sir Henry Wellcome. So full praise to John Symons for having laid a firm path through this mixed vegetation and erected plain signposts to mark each succeeding stage on the way, as well as for the limpid prose ornamented by irony and understated wit with which he achieves this, to say nothing of his delightful footnotes. The section which speaks m...

Stress related to life events was measured by using the Life Changes Experiences Survey (Dohrenwend et al., 1978) whereas mental health of managers was measured with the help of General Health Questionnaire (12 items version, by Gol...

Tremendous progress has been made in the synthesis of nanoscale structures – nanocrystals, nanowires and nanotubes – that serve as building blocks for new devices and applications. However many challenges remain. They include the synthesis of nanostructures with well-defined sizes and shapes, the synthesis of new classes of materials, the in-depth characterization of newly developed nanostructu...

In this lecture we examine “players machine” games, where each player chooses a machine to place her job at. We look at a global optimum function. We basically deal with two models: pure, where the players choose a deterministic strategy, and mixed, where the players choose a stochastic strategy (i.e., each chooses a probability distribution over machines). We farther examine different types of...

Cavernous haemangioma (CHL) is the commonest benign tumour of the liver. It was first described in 1861 by Frerichs and later by others. CHL of the liver are common in females and can occur at any age. The majority of these tumours are small, asymptomatic and without clinical significance. Large tumours might cause symptoms and require treatment. The symptoms can be non-specific and diagnosis d...

Three commentaries are presented on a case conference, "Truth at the last--a case of obstructed death," which appeared in the March 1982 issue. The case involved collusion between a physician and a family member to withhold the truth from a terminally ill patient. The commentaries discuss the possible psychological need of dying patients to resolve "unfinished business," and the physician's g...

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are long-lasting extreme oceanic warming events that can cause devastating effects on warm-water corals and associated ecosystems. The linear trend interannual variability of MHWs over the Bay Bengal (BOB) during 1982–2020 investigated by a high-resolution daily sea surface temperature (SST) dataset. In regions where coral reefs concentrated, annual MHW days frequency si...
