In 1902, Albert Moll, who at that time ran a private practice for nervous diseases in Berlin, published his comprehensive book on medical ethics, Ärztliche Ethik. Based on the concept of a contractual relationship between doctor and client, it gave more room to the self-determination of patients than the contemporary, usually rather paternalistic, works of this genre. In the first part of the p...

Let [Formula: see text] be a triangular array of numbers. We say that [Formula: see text] is skew log-concave if for any fixed n, the sequence [Formula: see text] is log-concave. In this paper, we show that the Boros-Moll sequences are almost skew log-concave.

In their study of a quartic integral, Boros and Moll discovered a special class of Jacobi polynomials, which we call the Boros-Moll polynomials. Kauers and Paule proved the conjecture of Moll that these polynomials are logconcave. In this paper, we show that the Boros-Moll polynomials possess the ratio monotone property which implies the log-concavity and the spiral property. We conclude with a...

introduction a large volume of sediments are dredged from water bodies such as ports, waterways and wetlands and deposited on land. sediments are typically polluted by contaminants such as heavy metals. metals in sediments are in soluble, carbonate bound, fe-mn oxide, sulfide/organic matter bound and residual fractions. the metal solubility and mobility are mainly controlled by organic matter c...

1. Previous work has shown that fifth-instar nymphs of Locusta migratoria (L.) compensate for a dilution of their dietary protein by reducing intermeat interval (Simpson & Abisgold, 1985). 2. The effect of dietary protein on intermeal interval is regulated, either directly or indirectly, by the osmolality and free amino acid content of the haemolymph (Abisgold & Simpson, 1987). 3. The possibili...

In his study [7] on quartic integrals, Moll met a specialized family of Jacobi polynomials. Moll conjectured that the corresponding coefficient sequences are log-concave. In this paper we settle Moll’s conjecture by a non-trivial usage of computer algebra.

a new kinetic spectrophotometic method for the determination of trace amount chromium (iii) in teareal samples has been described based on it s the catalytic effect on the oxidations of 1 - ( 2 –pyridylazo ) - 2 - naphthol, (pan), by potassium bromated in sulfuric acid. the reaction is followedspec- trophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 469 nm. under the optimumcondi...

Regulation of mitochondrial respiration both by endogenous and exogenous ADP in the cells in situ was studied in isolated and permeabilized cardiomyocytes, permeabilized cardiac fibers and 'ghost' fibers (all with a diameter of 10-20 micro m) at different (0-3 micro moll(-1)) free Ca(2+) concentrations in the medium. In all these preparations, the apparent K(m) of mitochondrial respiration for ...

A new kinetic spectrophotometic method for the determination of trace amount Chromium (III) in Teareal samples has been described based on it s the catalytic effect on the oxidations of 1 - ( 2 –PyridylAzo ) - 2 - Naphthol, (PAN), by potassium bromated in sulfuric acid. The reaction is followedspec- trophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 469 nm. Under the optimumcondi...
