Abstract: &NA; Acid‐aspiration pneumonitis is a significant cause of anesthetic maternal mortality. A study of 100 patients for cesarean section (c‐section) showed that the presence of a high gastric content volume or a low pH cannot be excluded in any patient, irrespective of the time between the last meal and either onset of labor or delivery. Patients for elective c‐section are equally, if not more, at risk. Administration of oral antacid within 4 hours of inducing anesthesia did not affect the gastric content volume but significantly raised the pH. The number of patients at risk of developing acid‐aspiration pneumonitis was reduced tenfold. The authors conclude that every parturient should receive oral antacid before induction of general anesthesia.

Abstract: The edition of Nietzsche's correspondence is concluded with the commentary on the letters from and to Nietzsche in the crisis-ridden period from 1887 to 1889. The effort required for the commentary is particularly great for this time, as nearly every document from the period has been subjected to intense comment and interpretation. Renate MA1/4ller-Buck, who has proved her worth in editing the letters from the very beginnning of the project, has not only been involved in collating and accessing the manuscript resources (particularly the drafts of letters) but has over and above this devoted her attention to unravelling difficult personal connections, personal and literary allusions and the complicated networks in this wide-ranging correspondence. The comprehensive index to Section III, to which Holger Schmid has made an equal contribution, now provides access to the final and most complex episode in Friedrich Nietzsche's life and work.

Abstract: This study is mainly based on the writings of two authors: Ibn FaḍAllāh al-‘Umarī (d. 749/1349) and al-Qalqashandī (d. 821/1418). Al-‘Umarī has in the first part of his encyclopedia Maslik al-absār fī mamālik al-amṣār a section, the fifteenth,1 dealing with the Arab tribes of his time.

Abstract: This paper was written for a conference on natural resources, and we were asked to talk about the Club of Rome model, which we had been examining. Having formed a poor opinion of that model, we decided to devote only an initial section to it, and that is written in a polemical style. Those who have had much to do with the world-dynamics debate will understand why we thought it necessary to express ourselves in terms more vigorous than we would usually think proper. Economists are advised that the real content of the paper is in sections 2 and 3, and accordingly recommended to start reading at section 2.

Abstract: Researchers know little about determiners of section selection in multi-section college courses. Studies on teacher evaluation and on the validity of teacher rating forms have often assumed section to section equivalence of students assigned by customary registration procedures. To investigate the section selection process, a questionnaire containing items on personal history, reasons for section selection, and sources of information about the instructor was administered to 1,188 undergraduate students in multi-section first year and advanced psychology courses. Major findings were: (1) students significantly differed across sections on biographical variables and on section selection reasons, (2) time at which class was scheduled (classtime) and teacher's reputation were the primary reasons for section choice, (3) teacher's reputation was less important than classtime for first year students, but comparable to classtime for advanced students, and (4) reports from other students and published ratings were,...

Abstract: PREFACE I welcome John McClaughry's analysis of the FHA's section 235 home ownership program. His article is based on the report he prepared as a consultant to the Senate Government Operations Committee , on which I serve. At the height of the controversy over the so-called "subsidized housing moratorium" announced in January, 1973, I recommended to Senator Sam J. Ervin, the Chairman of the Committee, that Mr. McClaughry evaluate the section 235 program, home ownership assistance for low and moderate income families. He had been my special assistant on housing when I drafted the National Home Ownership Foundation Act, one of several bills the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency considered in drafting section 235 of the National Housing Act, so I knew that he was uniquely qualified to examine the successes and failures of that program. I knew, too, that he would not hesitate to point out exactly where the fault lay for the problems which led to the 1973 moratorium. Mr. McClaughry's conclusions and his analysis of policy alternatives make valuable reading for anyone, lawyers and laymen alike, concerned about the future of federal housing programs. I agree with him that the 235 program compiled an enviable record of success even while being plagued by mismanagement. In my opinion, the National Home Ownership Foundation, had it been made operational after being authorized by the Congress in 1968, could have provided the oversight and direction necessary to avoid or quickly eliminate administrative problems as they arose. That is in the past, however. The important point now is that we must apply in the future what we have learned from the history of the 235 program. Mr. McClaughry describes how this can be accomplished. I hope we pay heed.

Abstract: A reference system index system for locating information compiled and arranged in alphabetical sequence such as dictionaries is disclosed. Key numbers are assigned to individual letters of the alphabet or to combinations of letters and appear on a guide page. Indicia are carried at a prominent location such as on the page edge of the dictionary so that a person can quickly locate the desired section by use of the key reference numerals.

Abstract: The figures and events of the ’Jardin Exotique’ section take place, we will demonstrate, entirely within Theodora’s mind.2 At least initially, most readers are startled and somewhat confused by a side to Theodora which has hardly been indicated, and by the complete change in tone and technique. Part One shows Theodora only once engaging in fantasy outside events she has experienced, as she relives the snowy night with her father and the Man who was Given his Dinner, and that

Abstract: In BSOAS, XXXIV, 3,1971, 546 I suggested the possibility that the development of Indo-European o to ā in Sanskrit, which, according to Brugmann's well-known and much contested theory, had been held to take place only in open syllables, may in fact have taken place in other environments also,. namely before consonant groups. The proposal was made in view of certain word equations quoted in connexion with the development of spontaneous cerebrals in Sanskrit, notably between Skt. κāṇḍα- ‘section between two joints, phalanx’ and bhāṇḍα-’ furniture, utensils, movable property’ on the one hand, and Gk.

Abstract: There has been a tradition of continued interest in Africa within the black community dating from the time that African captives were first brought to the shores of what is today known as the United States. While such interest has always been present it has, however, ebbed and flowed in accordance with the changing fortunes of the blacks in America. One of the earliest advocates of emigration to Africa was Paul Cuffe, a black shipowner from Massachusetts who sailed for Sierra Leone in 1815 with 38 other Afro-Americans, While it is not clear what proportion of the black population supported such efforts at the time, it is clear that Cuffe was not alone in his beliefs. The names of the earliest churches such as the African Methodist Episcopal and the Abyssinian Baptist churches bear testimony that Africa had not been forgotten by the black community. Moreover, as a number of writers (Stuckey, 1969; BIassinggame, 1972; Rawick, 1972) have shown, a great deal of African culture was retained by many of the slaves who worked on the plantations. By the l850s a good number of black leaders had begun voicing their support of emigration as a solution to the injustices faced by many Afro-Americans in this country. Among the most famous advocates of this position were Martin R. Delany and Alexander Crummell. Delany was a physician who had visited liberia and Nigeria and who was active in various colonization efforts until the outbreak of the Civil War. Bishop Crummell was probably the most important figure among black missionaries who were involved with Africa. What eventually became known as W. E. B. Du Bois' theory of the "talented tenth" was actually first developed by Crummell who argued that the educated black elite in this country had a special obligation to help uplift the race. Although interest in Africa waned somewhat following the end of the Civil War it enjoyed a revival in the l880s, in large part because of the activities of Bishop

Abstract: Malcolm nowhere suggests why this remark should be regarded as true. Indeed, many philosophers would regard it is palpably false. After all, it is not at all obvious that one can hope for, intend to do, or believe what is in every sense of the word, impossible. I think, however, that Malcolm's observation is correct; and this paper is devoted to showing why it is correct. In the concluding section I present an account of dreaming that shows why it is that impossible dreams are possible. "What can a person dream?" This is an odd query; and what it might mean to put this question (if, indeed, it is a sensible question) is not at all transparent. It is not like asking what a person might dream, when this is understood as a request for what someone is likely to dream, or what one may reasonably expect someone to dream, say, on the evening of a day in which one had visited a dentist. It would be equally puzzling to ask what a person can do; particularly if the questioner made it clear that one was not asking to be instructed in the physiological and anatomical liabilities and limits of a biological species. People cannot cross oceans in a single prodigious leap; i.e. nobody can do that now, but,

Abstract: Immediately after the Civil War, the United States Congress enacted, over presidential veto, a statute popularly known as the 1866 Civil Rights Act. In 1870 that statute was reenacted, and a major part is presently codified as sections 1981 and 1982 of title 42 of the United States Code. Those sections lay virtually moribund for a hundred years, until they were reviewed in 1968 as a judicial contribution to the mid-twentieth century civil rights movement. Passed in the wake of Union victory, the 1866 Civil Rights Act represented an attempt by the victors to crystallize the metaphysics of emancipation into the perquisites of citizenship and to give “real content to the freedom guaranteed by the Thirteenth Amendment.” The language of section 1982 is deceptively simple: “All citizens of the United States shall have the same right, in every State and Territory, as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property. Since 1968 there has been considerable litigation under this statute, but little appreciation of the ambiguity of the words “same right … as is enjoyed by white citizens.” Decisions tend to discuss the evidence presented in great detail without relating that evidence to a carefully drawn definition of the statutory language and the elements of the prima facie case which that definition should supply. Until we know what the plaintiff must prove, however, evidentiary analysis lacks direction, and until we know what the statutory language means, there will be no consistent approach to what the plaintiff must prove. In this Article we shall attempt to define the words “same right … as is enjoyed by white citizens,” to set forth the elements of the prima facie case derived therefrom, and to consider what evidence, inferences, and presumptions would permit a plaintiff to establish those elements. Our inquiry is pertinent not only to section 1982 cases: Section 1981 contains parallel language with respect to contract actions, and Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (as well as several state and local statutes) is directed to similar ends. Therefore, while our definition of the “same right” language is most relevant to sections 1982 and 1981, our discussion of evidentiary considerations is also applicable to civil rights litigation in general.

Abstract: A word game called "X-Out Word Game" includes a plurality of score cards each having at least four words printed thereon, wherein the words are four to six letters in length. An indicator device for selecting an alphabet letter to be crossed out of a word on the score card. The device includes two sections rotatably joined together, wherein one section has alphabet letters thereon and the other section has alphabet letters and numbers thereon. The device is rolled on a table so as to select the letters or numbers.

Abstract: A digital display type timepiece has a 2-digit decimal numerical figure display section divided in a manner to correspond to an hour and a minute display with a dividing display mark therebetween. A month and date-of-month display can also be made, by switching, on the same decimal display section. A time display is effected on the decimal display section by count outputs of time counters adapted to be driven by reference signals of an oscillator. During the time display, the display mark is flashed in a predetermined second cycle by the reference signal of the oscillator. The date display is made on the same display section by count outputs of date-of-month counters adapted to be driven by carry signals of the time counters. When switching is made from the time display to the date display, the display mark is correspondingly switched into a state different from the flashed state.
