We are pleased to be able to announce a new service for our subscribers. With this issue, and every two months in future, they will receive the Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin without extra charge. The ADRB has been published by the Newcastle Regional Hospital Board since 1966, but its circulation has until now been largely confined to the Newcastle Region. We believe that it deserves to be read much more widely and will be of particular value to readers of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, to which it is complementary. The ADRB will retain its editorial independence, but we have arranged to print it and to distribute it for its publishers outside their region.

We will now state, with the necessary technical detail, our reasons for the opinion we have already expressed, that it is not permissible to add to the assets, or otherwise bring into the valuation as a credit, the present value of the extra charge made upon half-yearly and quarterly premiums in excess of the aliquot part of an annual premium. This extra charge is made for three different purposes, (1) to cover the cost and trouble of collecting premiums at frequent intervals; (2) to make good the loss of interest on the portion of the premium which is not paid at the beginning of the year; and (3) when the half-yearly or quarterly payments are really premiums, and not instalments of yearly premiums, to compensate for the loss of premium which will occur in some cases through the life assured dying before the full year's premium for the current policy-year has been paid. The proper amount of the extra to be charged for (2) and (3) is easily determined. Since the value of an annuity payable in advance is 1 + a, ¾ + a, or ⅝ + a, according as it is payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, the total yearly net premium for the age x isaccording as it is payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly.

AbstractExcess thermal energy within a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) results in excess electrical current that is trapped within the lattice structure of the electronics. This excess signal from the CCD itself can be present through multiple exposures, which will have an adverse effect on its science performance unless it is corrected for. The traditional way to correct for this extra charge is to take occasional long-exposure images with the camera shutter closed. These images, generally referred to as “dark” images, allow for the measurement of thermal-electron contamination at each pixel of the CCD. This so-called “dark current” can then be subtracted from the science images by re-scaling to the science exposure times. Pixels that have signal above a certain value are traditionally marked as “hot” and flagged in the data quality array. Many users will discard these pixels as being bad. However, these pixels may not be bad in the sense that they cannot be reliably dark-subtracted; if these pixels are shown to be stable over a given anneal period, the charge can be properly subtracted and the extra Poisson noise from this dark current can be taken into account and put into the error arrays.

AbstractSince the proposal of skutterudites as possible Phonon-Glass, Electron-Crystal materials, a lot of work has been done trying to fill the structural voids with foreign “rattling” atoms. In order to keep the electronic count per unit cell constant (and thus, the semiconducting properties of most of the compounds under study) partial replacement of either the cation or the anion in the original formula by an appropriate neighbor in the periodic table is an option. In the case of antimonides, replacing part of the Sb with Ge or Sn in order to compensate the extra charge introduced by void fillers has proved useful for compounds based on rare-earth filled IrSb3. In the case of RhSb3, we found that large quantities of Sn can be incorporated into the skutterudite structure of RhSb3 without either filling the voids or producing charge carriers.We have analyzed the stability of several cross-sections of the Rh-Sb-Sn ternary system and have found a wide range of compositions with the basic skutterudite structure as we vary the Sn content. In all the cases, the tin goes substitutionally into the antimony sites. The voids remain empty. Density measurements suggest the existence of metal vacancies, confirmed by Rietveld refinement of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The possibility of Sn-induced mixed-valence of Rh on the anion sites is being investigated.
