In order to avoid these sources of error, the experiments on the patient were always performed with bandaged eyes, and nothing was said having reference to metalloscopy; on the other hand, I always endeavoured by test-experiments to confirm the positive results obtained. I will now quote the most important of the experiments.

Phonological Rules

In Kahn (1976), one finds a syllable-based reanalysis of certain well-known phonological rules of English. Prominent among these are aspiration and flapping. Given that the belated recognition of the syllable by generative phonologists has generally yielded very interesting and positive results, this reinterpretation of the facts must be seen as a welcome development in that respect.On the other hand, however, Kahn’s decision to base his syllable-oriented generalizations on the concept of ambisyllabicity must be seriously questioned since the phonological evidence for such a phenomenon is so tenuous, and also because this concept is virtually unfalsifiable as it is not known to have any physical-acoustic or articulatory-correlates whatsoever.Also, over and above Kahn’s recourse to such an unsubstantiated mechanism, there is the additional problem that the two rules he proposes simply do not correctly account for all the data. A later attempt by Kiparsky (1979) to replace Kahn’s ambisyllabic treatment of these two rules by a metrical analysis involving the foot runs into exactly the same kind of trouble.

Abstract A method of analyzing corn for aflatoxin was developed by assaying only the broken corn, foreign material, and chaff (dockage). Only 1 out of 21 commercial ground corn samples to which corn containing aflatoxin was added gave positive results for aflatoxin. On the other hand, all “Dockage” portions sieved from these same samples gave positive results. The procedure consists of streaking corn extracts on preparative coated sheets for cleanup, separation, and identification. If quantitative results are desired, fluorescent areas are collected and spotted on TLC plates for identification under UV light.

Success in immunizing rabbits, rats and sheep with dead trypanosomes depends on the method of killing trypanosomes, the frequency of inoculations, and the strain used for immunization. Positive results were obtained when trypanosomes were killed by formalin or by freezing and thawing five times. Negative results were obtained when trypanosomes were killed by 56° C. for half an hour.Animals which received 10 doses of the mixture produced better results than those which received the same amount but only in 2 doses. An addition of Freund's adjuvant improved results, but 10 doses without an adjuvant were still better than 2 doses with an adjuvant. When trypanosomes were killed by 0·5% formalin, only an M variant of T. brucei, which was maintained by frequent passage in mice and was an antibody-sensitive variant, was able to produce in animals protective antibodies and resistance to a homologous ‘M’ variant, but not to an ‘R’ variant. On the other hand, if an ‘R’ variant of the same strain, which was passaged forty-eight times through rabbits and became resistant to antibodies, was killed by 0·5 % formalin and inoculated into animals, no antibodies and resistance could be demonstrated to a homologous ‘R’ variant and an ‘M’ variant.Although it is possible to produce immunity in animals with dead trypanosomes further studies, particularly in the field, are necessary to find its practical application.

Forms Of Life

It frequently happens that in questioning the occurrence of remains in any deposit, we have to point out that they may have been derivative from older beds, or, on the other hand, may have been introduced at some later date into that in which they are actually found. In such cases various hypothetical explanations are offered with a view to proving that sources of error still remain, which must be investigated before the unexpected association of remains can be accepted as a fact. Such difficulties frequently meet us in investigating the contents of caves, beds of gravel and sand, etc., more frequently in connexion with the history of the newer formations, and especially in criticizing the evidence for the association of human relics with the remains of extinct forms of life. It becomes of importance therefore to place on record any well-authenticated case in which objects in the same deposit and in the same state of preservation can be shown to belong to totally different times.

Abstract A total of 2668 swabs from poultry (n = 2166), pig (n = 311), and cattle (n = 191) carcasses were collected in slaughterhouses all over Poland and tested for the presence of Campylobacter. It was found that 1319 (49.4%) of them were contaminated with these bacteria. The percentages of the positive samples were different in each year of the study and the highest proportion of Campylobacter contaminated samples occurred in 2009, when 64.1% of investigated carcasses were positive. On the other hand, the lowest prevalence of Campylobacter was observed in 2013, in the last year of the survey. In all kind of carcass samples both C. jejuni and C. coli were identified, although the pork meat was more contaminated with C. coli (75.3% of positive samples) than with C. jejuni (24.7%), whereas poultry was nearly equally positive for C. jejuni and C. coli (50.6% and 49.4% respectively). The analysis of seasonal contamination of the carcasses revealed that more positive results were found during the second half of year than between January and June. The prevalence of Campylobacter showed that in all provinces, except one (Pomorskie), the mean percentage of the positive samples was above 40%. The most contaminated samples were identified in Lubelskie (69.3%) and Zachodniopomorskie (66.3%) regions. The obtained results showed that slaughtered animals in Poland, especially broilers, were often contaminated with Campylobacter, either C. jejuni or C. coli.

Experimental Disease

The evidence hitherto reported concerning the filtration of trachomatous material, and inoculation of man and monkeys with the filtrates points to the conclusion that the incitant of trachoma is not, as a rule, filtrable. Our findings confirm this view and indicate further that no virus causing the disease is adsorbed to Bacterium granulosis. On the other hand, Bacterium granulosis itself in heavy suspensions is irregularly filtrable through Berkefeld V candles, like some other bacteria (14), but it is present in the filtrates in only small numbers. When suspensions were used of trachomatous human and monkey tissues, which contain much fewer organisms than do actual cultures, Bacterium granulosis was never recovered from the filtrates. The conception that trachoma is a disease caused by an ultramicroscopic virus is based on (a) the positive results of filtration in two animals, as reported by Nicolle and his coworkers, and (b) the presence of so called "inclusion bodies" in some of the cells of the lesions. One can state definitely that the evidence is now greatly against the filtrability of the etiological agent of trachoma. Furthermore, filtrability does not in itself suffice for the classification of an agent as an ultramicroscopic virus. Concerning (b), a vast literature has accumulated which indicates that the "inclusion bodies" of trachoma are not specific for the disease and that the bodies themselves may be bacterial in origin (15). We have not as yet found bodies of the kind characteristic of many filtrable viruses in the tissues of man or of monkeys with the experimental disease.

Increased Pressure

Among the sources of error to which chronometers are liable, the effect of the variable density of the medium in which the balance vibrates has been overlooked; the author therefore proposes to investigate the effects of diminished and increased pressure of transference from one to the other, and of the ordinary variations of atmospheric density upon the rates of chronometers. In respect to diminished pressure, he found that chronometers gained by being placed in air of less density than that of the ordinary state of the atmosphere, and that, on the other hand, they lost when subjected to air of greater than ordinary density. These experiments were made with a variety of chronometers, placed in the receiver of an air-pump, or in that of a condensing apparatus. In respect to the influence of ordinary changes in the density of the air, the author remarks that pocket chronometers are more readily affected than box chronometers, but that they all exhibit an increased rate under diminished density, and vice versâ . The author shows that these changes in the rates, as observed in the air-pump and condensing apparatus, are independent of the changes of temperature, resulting from changes in the density of the air thus rapidly effected, and therefore proceeds to inquire into the actual cause of the changes which his experiments indicate; he refers them to an increase in the arc of vibration when the density is diminished, and to a diminution in the arc under increased density.

The emission of mitogenetic rays has been reported from a great variety of cells and tissues but the most powerful source appears to be material which is in a high state of mitotic, metabolic, nervous or mechanical activity (Gurwitsch, 1932). A cursor survey of the literature shows that there is no general agreement concerning the reality of the phenomenon. In most cases, neither the source of the rays nor the means adopted for their detection has been defined with sufficient accuracy to permit consistent results to lie obtained by independent workers. To some extent this difficulty has been met by using photo-electric cells as a means of detecting the rays. Using a potassium cell, Schrieber and Friedlich (1930) failed to detect any radiation know yeast cultures. Seyfert (1932) using a cell of the counter type failed to find any emission of rays from onion roots, yeast cultures, and embryonic tissues. Frank and Rodionov (1932) on the other hand, obtained positive results from active preparations of the frog's sartorius and heart.

(1) Typhoid bacilli were demonstrated in the urines of 9 out of 38 typhoid patients (about 25 per cent). 172 specimens were examined with 44 positive results. (2) The bacilli, when demonstrated, were always present in large numbers and in practically pure culture. (3) The bacilli appeared first in the later stages of the disease and persisted in the great majority of cases far into convalescence. The urines of typhoid patients should, therefore, not only be rigidly disinfected during the disease, but they should also be carefully supervised during convalescence. (4) The typhoid bacilli were practically always associated with albuminuria and the presence of renal casts. On the other hand urines containing considerable amounts of albumin and casts in large numbers often showed no typhoid bacilli. (5) Irrigation of the bladder with antiseptic solutions offers a possible means for removing permanently the bacilli from the urine.
