Abstract: Manuscript Add. 3965, section 13, folios 541r–542r and 545r–546r is in the Portsmouth Collection of manuscripts and housed in the University Library, Cambridge. These drafts contain a careful account, in Newton's hand, of his views on place, time, and God. They are part of a large number of drafts relating to the three official editions of the Principia published in Newton's lifetime.

Abstract: This specification describes image rotation hardware for allowing the displaying of an image stored in digital form in other than its originally stored orientation. In this hardware a word-organized image buffer stores a digital representation of a full image with each picture element (pel) of the full image being represented by a bit within the buffer. The buffer is divided into a plurality of square sections each storing a portion or subimage of the full image. Each section is n×n bits in size where n is the number of bits in a word stored in the buffer. The contents of each square section of the buffer can be transferred into an n×n storage array with first word organization, and then transferred back into the buffer with second word organization such that the subimage stored by the square section is rotated through 90°.

Abstract: This thorough volume on identification in forensic medicine is the product of thirteen mainly academic writers under the editorship of Professors Hunger of Erfurt and Leopold of Leipzig. The text is in German and is illustrated partly by line drawings and partly by photographic plates. There are many statistical tables. There is much emphasis upon the ageing, sexing and identification of bone, bone fragments and skeletal material and an interesting discussion of the techniques of' sxperimposition of photographs of a deceased person upon the skull, and a similar process involving X-rays. Forensic odontology is well represented and there is discussion of bite marks and bite mechanisms. The final section of the book deals with the problems associated with civil catastrophe, the organisation of the investigation of such mass disasters as aircraft crashes and the documentation required to record what is discovered on the site. There is a full collection of about 1,300 references to the literature which understandably tends to be centred on continental sources though it is not by any means restricted to these. For those with an ability to read German this is obviously a careful, painstaking and almost encyclopaedic work. The standard of production and printing remains high as is customary with all that issues from the Springer press. The book is cloth covered and a pleasure to handle. C. R. LEWIS

Abstract: In this introductory chapter we provide both an overview of mathematical logic and relational data base concepts that serve as background for the book, as well as an introduction to the major ideas discussed in the individual chapters. The first section of this paper is devoted to a description of first order logic, while the second describes the relational data base model. The next sections summarize the five major units of chapters.

Abstract: into their system of intervention, allowing them to take full advantage of workshops, post graduate education and innovations in the field without losing their perspective. Although the proposed model is simplistic in nature, it is felt that a utilization of the elements involved by persons engaged in training and education would be most beneficial. It has proven its value to us, and thus we offer it to others.

Abstract: The main title 'Hemopoietic Dysplasias' was the consensus term finally agreed by the participants to a conference on 'Preleukaemic States', which is the subtitle. Although the conference was held in 1975 and the proceedings have been published as Volume 2 Nos. 1-2 of Blood Cells, it is nevertheless helpful to have this reedition because the subjezt is one of great theoretical importance. To contemplate the pathology of sideroblastic anaemia, marrow hypoplasia, paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria, indeed all those conditions which may prezede overt leukaemia, forces us to conceive how the haemopoietic system functions, how successive stages of proliferation and differentiation are controlled, and how break-downs may occur. The speakers deal expertly with the subject from many aspects-clinical, morphological, experimental, theoretical, and so forth-and their discussions are illuminating. If there is one criticism it is the absence of a cytogeneticist since the chromosomal data receive adequate attention only in the section on radiation leukaemogenesis. The distinction between polyclonal and monoclonal proliferations might have been made and the evidence for progression more clearly demonstrated. There are also errors in the editing: on page 349, for example, there is a reference to 'myeloid dysphasia' and it is almost appropriate! But, all in all, for haematologists and oncologists this is a valuable and thought-provoking book.

Abstract: The word ‘fundamentals’ in the title of this paper is meant literally: only the basics of a Sellarsian account of logic are presented.1 Section B begins the account with a brief general warning, supported by the details of the following section, about what Sellars’ views on language and logic arenot: viz., that they arenot to be classed with those philosophical views I call ‘extended semantic formalism.’ The basics of a Sellarsian account of logic appear in Section C.

Abstract: There have been profound changes in obstetric care in the past decade, as exemplified by the trebling in many areas of the proportion of deliveries performed by cesarean section. This increase is due to the increased safety of the operation for the woman and the growing awareness that in many instances the risk of perinatal death or disability can be reduced by timely cesarean section. However, there is growing unease among obstetricians as the rate continues to climb steadily without solid evidence that this is responsible for better perinatal results. A survey of 12 teaching hospitals across Canada showed that in 1976 the proportion of cesarean section deliveries ranged from 9.8% to 21.8% (average 14.3%). In Manitoba the overall rate had doubled since 1971, reaching 9.8% in 1976, and varied from 12.7% to 16.2% (average 14.5%) in teaching hospitals, 6.1% to 13.1% (average 9.7%) in community hospitals served by specialists in obstetrics and other fields, and 0% to 15.4% (average 1.9%) in rural hospitals, some of which are served by specialist surgeons (management information section, Manitoba Health Services Commission: personal communication, 1977). The main factors leading to the rising cesarean section rate are as follows: 1. There has been an increase in the use of continuous monitoring of the fetal heart rate during labour. Many units found that this initially resulted in an increased rate of cesarean section for "fetal distress However, with increased experience in the interpretation of fetal heart rate patterns and clarification of abnormal patterns with sampling of blood from the fetal scalp, this problem need not persist, and indeed the proportion of cesarean section deliveries may f all.1'2 2. Women are having fewer children and are often postponing the first pregnancy because of career or economic commitments. Hence, both the age and the proportion of primigravidas may rise. 3. The past few years have seen great changes in the intrapartum management of breech presentation. Some units perform cesarean sections in a high proportion of cases of breech presentation of a viable fetus, while others remain more conservative, as reflected in the wide range 25% to 65% (average 41.7%) in the proportion of cesarean sections performed because of breech presentation at the Canadian teaching hospitals surveyed in 1976. The argument for performing cesarean section in all cases of breech presentation is not proven, but it seems probable that in the future cesarean section will be done in most such cases when the baby is small and in many when the baby is large, unless labour is progressing smoothly. This trend will be emphasized as residents receive less experience in delivering infants in breech presentation by the vaginal route. 4. For reasons of both maternal and fetal welfare there is a more aggressive approach towards performing cesarean section in patients with severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. However, the number of these cases is such that this is only a small contribution to the overall rate. 5. With improved neonatal intensive care, neonatologists are encouraging physicians to regard many fetuses as viable after 28 weeks' gestation. Thus, cesarean section for reasons of fetal welfare may be indicated at an earlier gestational age than it was previously. 6. Approximately one third of all cesarean sections are carried out as repeat elective procedures. The aphorism "once a cesarean always a a cesarean", adopted some 60 years ago, is still followed by almost all obstetricians in North America.3 Although a safe vaginal delivery is feasible after a previous cesarean section, it is unlikely to be considered widely in North America. Thus, every first cesarean section produces a potential legacy of repeat cesarean sections in the years ahead. 7. Probably the greatest contribution to the increasing cesarean section rate is the change in attitude towards nonprogressive labour. Prolonged interval between rupture of the membranes and delivery and prolonged labour are no longer tolerated, for they create risks for both mother and fetus. The wisdom of performing a difficult midforceps delivery is increasingly doubtful, and more cases of midpelvis arrest are

Abstract: The papers in the section on instruction differ in tactic in comparison with other papers in this symposium. In most of the other papers, a discussion of some psychological experiment or theory is presented and then the author presents implications for instruction. In the three papers in this section, instructional problems are directly attacked and provide the basis for investigation.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To rearrange the character rows such as human names in the scheduled areas in accordance with a certain format, by writing in the character rows read out from the first memory section according to the rearrangement format specified and selected into the second memory section after rearrangement. CONSTITUTION: The memory section 1 memorizes the character rows before rearrangement and the counter 2 calculates the number of characters memorized in the memory section 1. The information from the counter 2 is inputted to the control section 3, the rearrangement table 4 memorizing the rules for the rearrangement is referenced from the information having the character number memorized in the memory section 1 and from the information having the size of area of the memory section 6 memorizing the result of rearrangement, and how to rearrange each character of the memory section 1 to the number of area of the memory section 6 as a result of the rearrangement is discriminated. Further, the control section 3 performs rearrangement of letter through the write-in circuit 5 from the memory section 1 to the memory section 6 according to the result of discrimination.

Abstract: An automatic telephone answering device with simultaneous drive for the outgoing message tape (T-1) and the incoming message tape T-2 has a disadvantage in that the calling party's voice cannot be recorded within a section of T-2 (T2-1, T2-3) which is driven simultaneously with the first half (T1-1, T1-3) of T-1. To prevent this disadvantage, T-2 is to be automatically rewound within the wasted section (T2-1 and T2-3). Then, it records the calling party's voice on the section (T3-1 and T3-2). The instant rewinding distance depends on the tape volume on the tape reel but the above rewinding section is not overrun to the previous recording section (T3-1 and T3-2). So, it must have minimum blanks l1, l2, . . . ln.
