Qohelet 7:23-29 has elicited numerous approaches to explain why there is a negative estimation of womanhood found on the lips of the wise. Below it will be argued that the text picks up the narrative of the first two chapters of Ecclesiastes and briefly continues the characterization of the life of Solomon. Part and parcel of that life was the pursuit of women. This pursuit had a negative effec...

This work proposes innovative permutation-based procedures controlling the Familywise Error rate (FWE). It is proofed that weighted procedures control the FWE if weights are a function of the sufficient statistic. Particularly, we focus on the use of the additional information given by the total variance of each variables. The first proposal considers the use of weights applied to the combining...

We propose the B c → B * u γ decay as the most suitable probe for the flavour changing neutral transition c → uγ. We estimate the short and long distance contributions to this decay within the standard model and we find them to be comparable; this is in contrast to radia-tive decays of D mesons, that are completely dominated by the long distance contributions. Since the c → uγ transition is ver...

There are four sorts of men: He who knows not and knows not that he knows not: He is a fool—shun him; He who knows not and knows that he knows not: He is simple—teach him; He who knows and knows not that he knows: He is asleep—wake him; He who knows and knows that he knows: He is wise—follow him. —Arabic proverb Our goal is to develop a robust anomaly detector that can be incorporated into patt...

By Y. RlCHAEDS, Civil Medical Officer, Bancoorah. Tiie following case is very similar to that related by Dr. Wise :?* At a caste meeting of Bowris in December 18G8, one Tarachand Bowry (the prisoner) was sentenced to pay a fine, which he refused to do, and upon being remonstrated with by ono Doorgacliurn, attempted to kick him; a row ensued, and the wifa of Doorgacliurn, hearing it, came from h...
