The Abbotsford Post was published in Abbotsford, in the Fraser Valley region of southwestern British Columbia. The Post was published and edited by John Alexander Bates, and it was the first paper targeted specifically at the Abbotsford area. The paper has since been bought and sold a number of times, and continues to be published to this day under the title of the Abbotsford News.

The Nelson Economist was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from July 1897 to July 1906. The Economist was published by D. M. Carley, and edited by C. Dell-Smith. In August 1898, the Economist absorbed a paper called the Nation. In July 1903, the title of the paper was changed from the Nelson Economist to the Economist.

In this paper, I extend into the domain of plant life the consideration of intersection begun by Haas within the framework of body-part terms. Under discussion here are the diachronic complexities manifested by some northern Hokan morphemes occurring in terms for plants, trees, and bushes. These morphemes, all having a general interpretation 'of the plant world', make up two separate phonological subsets whose members are cognate. The fact that there are extra-Hokan similars for each subset leads to consideration of the possible extra-Hokan connections.

This paper gives the results of investigations on corals, obtained from the Carboniferoes rocks of the Taishaku district, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, with special reference to their stratigraphic distribution and geological age. Lithostrotionella taishakuensis, n. sp., Stylidophyllum yokomizoi, n. sp. and Pseudoparona taisyakuana are described and illustrated in the last chapter.

According to the generally accepted theory of viscoplastic flow of ice, the velocity of ice flow, related with shear stress by the exponential law (after GLENN), is independent of cmnidirectional (hydrostatic) pressure. The author's experiments in Antarctica and analysis of distribution on the depth of ice density in the Antarctic shield, however, showed that this pressure affects, to some extent, the flow of ice, namely, flow velocity decreases with increasing omnidirectional pressure. The same effect, but in a still more pronounced from, has been noted in frozen grounds. The paper sets forth the theory of viscoplastic flow of ice taking into account the dependence of flow velocity on omnidirectional pressure. It is well known that the flow of glaciers and ice shields takes place under conditions of a complex stressed-deformed state, and therefore in order to describe the process of flow it is necessary to know the relationship between all the components of stresses and velocities of deformation. This relationship is usually given in tensor form, the stress tensor being divided into a deviator σ_i causing a change of form (flow), and omnidirectional pressure σ_0 causing a change of volume. The author has suggested a generalized expression defining the relationship between the stress deviator, the velocity deviator and omnidirectional pressure. The initial equation of this theory relating stress and deformation is written in the following general form : σ_i=φ_1(ε_i)+φ_2(ε_i)Φ(σ_0), (1) where σ_i-intensity of shearing stress, ε_i-intensity of flow velocity, σ_0-omnidirectional pressure. The first term of the equation characterizes flow under conditions of pure shear, the second-retardation of this flow by the forces of omnidirectional pressure. The function φ_1 (ε_i) is assumed to have an exponential form (after GLENN), and so is the function φ_2 (ε_i). The function Φ(σ_0) is taken as linear. Then Eq. (1) has the form σ_i=Aε_i^m+Bσ_0ε_i^n (2) or ε_x-ε_0=X(σ_x-σ_0); γ_=2X_……etc., where X=(ε_i)/(2σ_i)=(ε_i^)/(2(Aε_i^+Bσ_0)) This is the generalized equation of the flow of ice. The equation parameters A, B, m and n are determined from a test under complex stressed conditions. The paper also discusses special cases of Eq. (2) simplifying this equation, and demonstrates the utilization of this equation in solving problems.

Several areas of the bionomics of Culicoides in Virginia were given preliminary investigation. These included surveys for larval habitats, colonization attempts with Culicoides guttipennis (Coq.), host preference studies and adult activity studies. Breeding sites of 22 species of Culicoides were located and briefly described. Samples of mud, debris, etc. from suspected breeding sites were brought into the laboratory and maintained at 70°F in food containers with screened tops. Most species were found to prefer a specific type of habitat (i. e. tree-holes, polluted areas, etc.) but exceptions were occasionally observed. Colonization attempts with C. guttipennis have resulted in the successful establishment of this species in the laboratory. The colony has been maintained for 12-15 generations and is currently producing over 1,000 adults per day and an excess of eggs. Techniques developed for larval and adult maintenance have proved to be highly successful in recent months. Adults were held in a constant temperature cabinet at 80°F ± 2° and 85% relative humidity ± 10% in semi-darkness (less than 1 ft-c ). Eggs were collected on moist filter paper exposed in shell vials. Fly eggs hatched in 3 days and the young larvae were introduced into aquaria containing leaf mold from hardwood forests and distilled water. Larvae pupated in about 12 days and adults emerged about 3 days later. The adult diet consisted of rabbit blood, raisins, sugar cubes, honey water and a 6:6:1:13 mixture of powdered milk, sugar, egg solids and water administered in capillary tubes. In host preference studies 15 species of Culicoides were collected on 1 or more of 14 different hosts used in animal-baited traps. Animals were restrained and exposed on a small platform. After 15 min the animals were covered with a collecting cage. Flies were aspirated from the traps and killed in 70% ethanol. Even though some preferences possibly were shown by some species, more data will be needed before definite conclusions can be drawn. In adult activity studies, most species appeared to be more abundant from 9 PM to 3 AM as indicated by light traps. This was especially noted in C. stellifer, C. haematopotus and C. venustus. The activity of C. haematopotus was fairly constant up to 3 AM and then decreased. C. stellifer and C. venustus activity decreased as the night progressed. Doctor of Philosophy

The paper presents a graphical-numerical method for determining the transient stability limits of a two-machine system under the usual assumptions of constant input, no damping and constant voltage behind transient reactance. The method presented is based on the phase-plane criterion,1, 2 in contrast to the usual step-by-step and equal-area methods. For the transient stability limit of a two-machine system, under the assumptions stated, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy, at the instant of fault clearing, should just be equal to the maximum value of the potential energy which the machines can accommodate with the fault cleared. The assumption of constant voltage behind transient reactance is then discarded in favour of the more accurate assumption of constant field flux linkages. Finally, the method is extended to include the effect of field decrement and damping. A number of examples corresponding to each case are worked out, and the results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those obtained by the usual methods.

This paper attempts to add to the existing understanding of weighing designs (WD). Let us suppose that $n$ objects are to be weighed in $n$ weighings with a chemical balance having no bias. In the previous papers [14], [15], for odd $n$, optimum weighing designs are given for some particular cases subject to the conditions, viz., (i) variances of the estimated weights are equal and (ii) the estimated weights are equally correlated. Assuming these conditions we find some more optimum designs when $n$ is odd. Throughout this paper $n$ is assumed to be odd, except in Section 4, where $n$ may take any value. Let $x_{ij} = 1$ if the $j$th object is placed in the left pan in the $i$th weighing $= -1$ if the $j$th object is placed in the right pan in the $i$th weighing $= 0$ if the $j$th object is not weighed in the $i$th weighing. The $n$th order matrix $X = ((x_{ij}))$ is known as the design matrix. Also let $y_i$ be the result recorded in the $i$th weighing, $\epsilon_i$ is the error in the result, $w_j$ the true weight of the $j$th object, so that we have $n$ equations $x_{i1}w_1 + x_{i2}w_2 + \cdots + x_{in}w_n = y_i + \epsilon_i,\quad i = 1, 2, \cdots, n.$ We assume $X$ to be a non-singular matrix. The method of least squares or the theory of linear estimation gives the estimated weights $\hat{w}$ by the equation $\hat{w} = (X'X)^{-1}X'y$ where $\hat{w}$ and $y$ are the column vectors of the estimated weights and the observations respectively. If $\sigma^2$ is the variance of each weighing, then $V (\hat{w}) = (X'X)^{-1}\sigma^2 = ((c_{ij}))\sigma^2$ where $((c_{ij}))$ is the inverse of $X'X$. The design will be called optimum in the sense of Mood, if $\det ((c_{ij}))$ ($\det$ stands for determinant) is minimum and this is the case when $\det X'X$ is maximum. The efficiency of the weighing design can be measured, in the sense of Mood, by $\det X'X/\max \det X'X$ [12]. If $\lambda_{\min}$ be the minimum characteristic root of $X'X$, then the efficiency of the design can be measured, in the sense of Ehrenfeld, by $\lambda_{\min}/\max \lambda_{\min}$ [6]. According to Kishen, the efficiency can be measured by $1/\sum c_{ii}$ [11]. The first two definitions of efficiency were first introduced by Wald in [16]. Kiefer gave some optimality criteria for experimental designs in which the three criteria mentioned above were included and discussed them fully in [9] and [10]. He named these three definitions as $D$-optimum, $E$-optimum and $A$-optimum. We use Kiefer's notations in Section 6 for the definitions of efficiency of a weighing design given above.

The objectives of this study were to improve our methods of secondary prophylaxis of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease in Barbados, to estimate the overall prevalence of these diseases and the relative load imposed by them on available health services, and to measure the yield, feasibility, and effectiveness of mass programmes for the detection and prophylactic management of rheumatic heart disease in schoolchildren.Improved methods of surveillance and follow-up resulted in 97% adherence to therapy by patients on prophylactic penicillin. Thirty-four children, 27 with a first attack, were admitted with acute rheumatic fever, representing a 7% occupancy of children's medical beds during the 12-month period of the study. Out of a possible 3,942 schoolchildren aged 5-11 years, 3,882 (98%) were screened for rheumatic heart disease. Four cases (about 1 per 1,000) were discovered.

The use of response surface designs in preference to factorial designs in agriculture has become widely discussed and recommended. This paper simulates data for comparable response surface and factorial designs and uses this to demonstrate the similarities between the designs and their analyses and at the same time to point out some of the customary differences in their analyses. More particularly, it aims to show: (a) that for any design a reduction in the number of plots sown reduces the reliability of the results, and (b) that both a response surface design and a factorial design allow the calculation of estimated equations of response surfaces.

Read April 18th 1853, In the following paper I propose to lay before you a summary of the history of the wine duties, and of the present condition of the trade, chiefly with reference to our commercial relations with France. Although these duties interfere with our intercourse with nearly all the nations of Southern Europe, I have considered only their effects upon our trade with France; partly because our commerce with no other nation has been clogged with so many impolitic restrictions, but principally because a trade with that nation, if free, would be of far greater importance to us than that with any other country.

In the previous paper; the authors have presented some experimental data on the thermodynamic properties of the binary systems Cd-Sn, Zn-Cd and Zn-Sn, as the partial report of the investigation of the ternary liquid solution Zn-Cd-Sn. The purpose of the present work is to study the general behavior of the thermodynamic functions for the binary solutions on the basis of these experimental data reported.

The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser was published in Hedley, in the Similkameen region of southern British Columbia, and ran from January 1905 to August 1917. The Gazette was published by the Hedley Gazette Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was Ainsley Megraw (1905-1914). The Gazette served the communities of Keremos, Olalla, and Hedley. In 1916, the paper was purchased by James W. Grier, who shortened the title to the Hedley Gazette.

The object of this paper was to study lower bounds ·for the variance of uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators. The lower bounds of Cramer and Rao, Bhattacharyya, Hammersley, Chapman and Robbins, and Kiefer were derived and discussed. Each was compared with the other, showing their relative merits and shortcomings. Of the lower bounds considered all are greater than or equal to the Cramer-Rao lower bound. The Kiefer lower bound is as good as any of the others, or better. We were able to show that the Cramer-Rao lower bound is exactly the first Bhattacharyya lower bound. The Hammersley and the Chapman and Robbins lower bounds are identical when they both have the same parameter space, i.e., when Ω = (a,b). The use of the various lower bounds is illustrated in examples throughout the paper. M.S.

The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News.

Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District ; The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912.

INKAGE estimates in autotetraploids are more complicated than in diploids for three reasons outlined by FISHER (1949) : 1) The multiplicity of segregating genotypes-for IWO loci with two alleles at each there are 19 doubly heterogenic genotypes in an autotetraploid, compared with only two in a diploid. 2) The eleven possible modes of gamete formation, compared with only two in diploidstetraploid gametes may contain all combinations of recombinant and non-recombinant chromatids, whereas diploids may be only recombinant or non-recombinant. 3) The frequencies of different gametic genotypes cannot be identified by a single backcross to a tester. In this study, for example, where the linked genes were shrunken and waxy on chromosome 9, doubly dominant progeny of the first backcross could have been produced by five gametic genotypes,ShWx/ShWx, ShW.x/Shwx, ShWx/shWx, ShWx/shwx, and Shwx/ shWx. Three of the gametes had recombinant chromatids, but all gametes were indistinguishable in the first backcross. The gametic series may be determined, however, if these progeny of the first backcross are subjected to a second backcross. Each gamete is then recognized, not by the appearance of one individual, but by the frequency distribution observed in a second-backcross family from that individual. FISHER’S monumental paper (1947) set forth the general theory of polysomic linkage and accounted for all the complexities. He then applied this theory to tetrasomic linkage anabysis in Lythrum salicaria (1 949), using double-backcross data. The second backcross, although laborious, is an extremely powerful tool in unravelling the complex gametic segregation and providing unbiased recombination estimates. The time and space required to raise and identify the progeny of a second backcross are almost inmx”ntab1e problems in higher plants. Hence, most linkage estimates in autotetraploids have been computed from single-backcross data. These include DEWINTON and HALDANE (1931) with Primula, SANSOME, (1933) with Solanum, and WELCH (1962) with maize. Single-backcross linkage can be estimated comparatively easily using maximum likelihood ( MATHER 1938). However, a single backcross cannot directly identify the recombinant

A double-blind cross-over trial over 24 weeks (10 weeks on the active remedy, 4 weeks off treatment, and 10 weeks on placebo) of the effect of L-dopa on idiopathic Parkinsonism (paralysis agitans) has shown no difference in the response obtained in patients who had undergone previous stereotaxic ventrolateral thalamotomy and in those who had not. Of the 34 patients (18 men and 16 women) in the trial 18 had been operated on (nine unilateral, nine bilateral operations) and 16 had not. All patients entering the trial were taking anticholinergic drugs in stable dosage and these were continued throughout. The only factor which seemed to limit the response to treatment was pre-existing hypertension. Of 31 patients who completed the 10-week treatment period, 12 showed marked improvement, 15 moderate improvement, and 4 and mild or negligible change. It seems that previous ventrolateral thalamotomy affords some protection against the development of L-dopa-induced involuntary limb movements on the side contralateral to the operation. As found by others, maximum benefit was seen in bradykinesia and rigidity and related features but a significant reduction in tremor was also noted during treatment. Side effects (nausea, hypotension, and involuntary movements) were common but rarely limited the therapeutic response.

This paper was read on the 8th May at the Medical School, St. Luke's Hospital, at a meeting of the Moynihan Chirurgical Club. The year 1865 was not a particularly attractive one for the Moynihan`s stay in Malta, since on the 20th June cholera broke out in the Island, the epidemic reaching its peak at the beginning of August. When the epidemic broke out in June, Mrs. Ellen Moynihan, the wife of Army Captain Andrew Moynihan and future mother of Berkeley George Andrew was in her fifth month of pregnancy. She and her husband were living in the married quarters attached to Pembroke Camp, and on the 27th July cholera appeared in the camp but it made little headway there being only eleven cases of which, however, nine ended fatally. The Moynihans escaped and in that house overlooking St. George's Bay, while the epidemic was still raging, Berkeley George Andrew was born on the 2nd October, 1865. The medical scenario at that time was not satisfactory: in hospital the attendants were ill-mannered, unreliable, untrained and illiterate. On the other hand, the physician was cultured, fully trained and with seven years of university education behind him. The year 1865 was however for Moynihan a memorable one because it marks his birth and his survivial through a cholera epidemic, and because without Joseph Lister's fundamental contribution to surgery in that year - the introduction of antisepsis - there would not have been a world famous abdominal surgeon Moynihan in later years., peer-reviewed

Acute blast crisis occurred in two patients with previously well-confirmed chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The finding by direct immunofluorescence of membrane-bound monoclonal immunoglobulins on the surface of the blast cells showed that they were related to B cells in the same way as the proliferating lymphocytes in most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. In one patient the surface monoclonal IgM detected on both the lymphocytes and the blast cells had the same rheumatoid antibody activity, supporting the concept that the leukaemic cells found during the acute and chronic phases of the disease originated from the same clone.

A compound decision problem consists of the simultaneous consideration of $n$ decision problems having identical formal structure. Decision functions are allowed to depend on the data from all $n$ components. The risk is taken to be the average of the resulting risks in the component problems. A heuristic argument for the existence of good asymptotic solutions was given by Robbins ([1] Sec. 6) and was preceded by an example (component decisions between $N(-1,1)$ and $N(1,1)$) exhibiting, for sufficiently large $n$, a decision function whose risk was uniformly close to the envelope risk function of "simple" decision functions. The present paper considers the class of problems where the components involve decision between any two completely specified distributions, with the risk taken to be the weighted probability of wrong decision. For all sufficiently large $n$, decision functions are found whose risks are uniformly close to the envelope risk function of "invariant" decision functions.

Excerpts from the Introduction: This bibliography brings down to date compilations made in 1922 which were summarized in a paper by the undersigned entitled "Food Control During Forty-six Centuries: A Contribution to the History of Price Fixing" read before the Agricultural History Society on March 10, 1922. This paper was mimeographed by this Bureau and later printed in the Scientific Monthly, v. 16, no. 6, June 1923. In addition to the references in these earlier compilations, which dealt only with food and were limited to outstanding examples of price fixing prior to 1800, the present bibliography has been enlarged to include references on other agricultural products. Non-agricultural commodities are included when they are mentioned in connection with agricultural products or in general discussions of the subject. An effort has been made to confine the bibliography to cases of specific price fixing. When governments establish monopolies they usually reserve to themselves, for purposes of revenue, the exclusive privilege of the sale and manufacture of the commodity in question. As this practice implies price fixing, references on monopolies have been included.

A study of the effect of bladder lavage with isotonic fluid at 45 degrees C on proliferative transitional cell carcinoma has shown definite cancericidal changes. These early studies suggest that further investigation of hyperthermia on a larger scale would be worth while.
