Encouraged by the success of the system, commenced in the year 1850, of associating at the dinner meal the male pauper patients of the Cornwall Lunatic Asylum, then under my superintendence, I ventured soon after my appointment at Colney Hatch, in September, 1852, to recommend here a far more extended association of the patients of both sexes in the hall hitherto used for occasional recreation, and which, from its dimensions and contiguity with the kitchen, appeared to offer especial advantages for carrying out such an experiment upon a large scale. After consultation with my colleagues upon the subject, I urged upon the Visiting Justices the following arguments in favour of the measure:— 1.The moral, social, and curative results likely to accrue.2.Relief to the patients from the usual monotony and routine of the establishment.3.Increased facilities afforded both to magistrates and officers for inspecting the patients.4.Improved ventilation in the wards, especially in hot weather.5.Removal of the knives, &c., from the store-rooms and sculleries of the wards.6.The more rapid conveyance of the provisions, whilst hot; and the better working of the establishment generally.

There are basically two different approaches to study the physical conditions and the energy transfer processes operating in astronomical objects: – the detailed observations of a few prominent objects over a wide wavelength range.– the study of the broad band properties of suitably choosen samples

The Subject

In many medieval calendars the calendar proper for each month is preceded or followed by a verse (or several verses) treating of one (or one each) of the following subjects: (a)the zodiacal sign(b)the number of solar days(c)the number of lunar days(d)the position of the nones(e)the Greek, Hebrew, and Egyptian names(f)the Roman traditions of the name and significance of the month(g)the climatic conditions (aeris qualitates)(h)the evil days (dies Aegyptiaci).The study of medieval calendars has been so much preoccupied with their chronological and heortological aspects that, to my knowledge, these verses have never been the subject of a comprehensive investigation. In many editions they have been omitted as extraneous matter.

I will try to cover three different examples on issues in which the Inter-American and the European Courts have had different approaches, some substantive, some methodological, regarding the following issues: 1.A substantive and radical difference in the approach of the right to appeal a criminal conviction;2.A substantive but slight difference in the approach of cases of involuntary or forced sterilization;3.An example of evolution from divergence to convergence in the subject of access to information; and4.A radical difference in the approach with respect to reparations.

1.I have recently paid a visit to Egypt and Mesopotamia with the object of finding out the particular troubles that are experienced with aeroplanes and engines in tropical climates. My stay in those countries only lasted for a total of 41/2 weeks in July and August, and that, of course, is quite an insufficient time to get complete knowledge of the subject. In many cases I am afraid the information I shall give will be somewhat indefinite, but my main object is to indicate the troubles and leave their solution to other people.2.First as regards the climatic conditions. The general impression I got was that, as regards the effect on aircraft materials, Mesopotamia was very nearly as much worse than Egypt as Egypt is than England, so that although one may get a solution for a particular difficulty in Egypt, it does not necessarily follow that the same solution will get over the difficulty in Mesopotamia.

Semantic Agreement

Two variants of what looks like disagreement between a subject and a predicative adjective are explored: (i)(ii) Having shown how Construction NOM and Construction PROP differ, I demonstrate that the subject of Construction PROP is clausal. I argue that the topmost XP of the subject phrase of both constructions contains a null neuter element. This accounts for the neuter predicative agreement; hence the idea of default agreement or semantic agreement can be dismissed. I also argue that the subject in (ii) contains a vP, the head of which is a null light verb. Other instances of null light verbs in Swedish are identified too. Finally, I propose an analysis that accounts for the close relation between Construction PROP and the corresponding construction with a med-phrase ‘with-phrase’.

Atmospheric Seeing

The subject of this symposium is the fine structure of the solar chromosphere. Progress in this field of reserach will depend to a high degree of the quality of seeing, resp. on the effective angular resolution available on the ground. Today's situation of solar ground seeing has changed distinctly in the last years. I would like to report here a few new aspects, which could be condensed into 3 questions: (1)Are there on the ground ‘good seeing windows’, comparable in quality with stratosphere results obtained from balloon borne equipment?(2)Is there a chance to resolve from the ground the solar scale height, corresponding to about 0.1″.(3)Is there a residual fundamental atmospheric seeing noise resp. a basic limit to the atmospheric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)?

Two Parameter

We begin with Fig. 1, which somewhat aged though it may be still illustrates important aspects of the subject (Gascoigne 1971) (i)There is a clear division of cloud clusters into a blue and red group. The division corresponds to the mass around 2.51M⊙, at which core degeneracy first develops in stars approaching the giant branch. Such stars spend about three times as long on the giant branch and travel higher up it than the slightly heavier non-degenerate stars, and so dominate the colours of the clusters in which they occur.(ii)The red clusters are somewhat less luminous than the globular clusters in the galaxy. Freeman and Chun (1972) have shown from dynamic arguments that the cloud clusters are also less massive, by enough to keep the M/L ratios roughly the same as those in the galaxy.(iii)For a long time it has been taken that the blue clusters are young and the red clusters old. Thus the clouds present us with a truly two-parameter family of globular-like clusters, the parameters being of course age and abundance.

Philosophers often contrast personal authority to authority vested in offices. Some such distinction is traditional and sometimes useful. But it does not provide us with an exhaustive classification of the types of authority, for there is a third type of authority that I shall argue is more fundamental than these two. Let us start with the types marked out by the usual distinction.Consider first the sort of authority illustrated by the following sentences:(1)Smith is an authority on physics.(2)Smith has (some) authority as a physicist.(3)Smith's views (utterances) on physics have (some) authority.(4)O.K., I believe you—after all, you're the authority on physics!A person is an authority in virtue of possessing extensive knowledge of a field or subject-matter. There seem to be no limits on what the field or subject-matter can be—for instance, one can be an authority on trivia.

Closed Normal Subgroup

A pro-p-group G is said to be a Demushkin group if(1)dimFp H1(G, Z/pZ) < ∞,(2)dimFp H2(G, Z/pZ) = 1,(3)the cup product H1(G, Z/pZ) × H1(G, Z/pZ) → H2(G, Z/pZ) is a non-degenerate bilinear form. Here FP denotes the field with p elements. If G is a Demushkin group, then G is a finitely generated topological group with n(G) = dim H1(G, Z/pZ) as the minimal number of topological generators; cf. §1.3. Condition (2) means that there is only one relation among a minimal system of generators for G; that is, G is isomorphic to a quotient F/(r), where F is a free pro-p-group of rank n = n(G) and (r) is the closed normal subgroup of F generated by an element r ∈ F9 (F, F); cf. §1.4.
