    No full text
    The Slater case is the first case imposing liability on a surgeon for performing a procedure without consent. This book reviews what happened, what was presented in court, and why they are so different. It also reviews the context of consent principles and medical experimentation and law of the time. It also provides biographical notes on the persons related to the case. It also reviews how the Slater case has been used in medical, ethical, legal and other publications

    On the Sherlocks, Jane Coleman and County Kildare in the Eighteen Forties

    No full text
    In the late 1980s and early 1990s the author acquired about 30,000 letters written mainly in the 1840s. These pertained to estates throughout Ireland managed by the firm of James Robert Stewart and Joseph Kincaid, hereafter denoted SK. Until the letters – called the SK correspondence in what follows – became the author’s property, they had not seen light of day since the 1840s. Addressed mainly to the firm’s office in Dublin, they were written by landlords, tenants, the partners in SK, local agents, etc. After about 200 years in operation as a land agency, the firm in which members of the Stewart family were the principal partners – Messrs J. R. Stewart & Son(s) from the mid- 1880s onwards – ceased operations in the mid-1980s. Since 1994 the author has been researching the SK correspondence of the 1840s. It gives many new insights into economic and social conditions in Ireland during the decade of the great famine, and into the operation of Ireland’s most important land agency during those years. It is intended ultimately to publish details on several of the estates managed by SK in a study more comprehensive than the present article, in book form. The proposed title is Landlords, tenants, famine: business of an Irish land agency in the 1840s, a draft of which has now been completed. A majority of the letters in that study are on themes some of which one might expect - rents, distraint (seizure of assets in lieu of rent); ‘voluntary’ surrender of land in return for ‘compensation’ upon quitting quietly; formal ejectment (a matter of last resort on estates managed by SK); landlordassisted emigration (on a scale much more extensive than most historians of Ireland in the 1840s appear to believe); petitions from tenants; complaints by tenants, both about other tenants and about local agents; landlord-financed and other relief of distress both before and during the great famine; major works of improvement (on almost all of the estates managed by SK which have been investigated in detail in the draft book); applications by SK, on behalf of landlords, for government loans to finance improvements; recommendations of agricultural advisers hired by SK, etc. Thus, most of the SK correspondence is about aspects of estate management. But the firm of SK was not only a manager of land. The correspondence reveals only two estates in Kildare, each of them relatively small, managed by SK in the 1840s. These were the lands of the Sherlocks near Naas and of Jane Coleman in the Kilcullen district. The correspondence on these properties differs substantively from most of those discussed in detail in the draft of Landlords, tenants, famine: first, it is relatively small in quantity, and secondly, it contains relatively little on the core aspects of estate management indicated above. Much of that on the Sherlocks focuses on misfortunes among family members, while the correspondence on Jane Coleman highlights the benevolence of that proprietor.

    Unified treatment of complete orthonormal sets of nonrelativistic, quasirelativistic and relativistic sets of spinor wave functions, and Slater spinor orbitals in coordinate, momentum and four-dimensional spaces

    Using the properties of tensor spherical harmonics introduced by the author in previous paper (Guseinov, Phys Lett A 372: 44, 2007) and complete orthonormal scalar basis sets of nonrelativistic psi(alpha)-exponential type orbitals (psi(alpha)-ETO), phi(alpha)-momentum space orbitals (phi(alpha)-MSO) and z(alpha)-hyperspherical harmonics (z(alpha)-HSH) for particles with spin s = 0 the new analytical relations for the quasirelativistic and relativistic spinor wave functions and Slater spinor orbitals in coordinate, momentum and four-dimensional spaces are derived, where a = 1, 0,-1,-2,.... The 2-component quasirelativistic and 4-component relativistic spinor wave functions obtained are complete without the inclusion of the continuum. The relativistic spinor wave function sets and Slater spinor orbitals are expressed through the corresponding quasirelativistic spinor wave functions and Slater spinor orbitals, respectively. The analytical formulas for overlap integrals over quasirelativistic and relativistic Slater spinor orbitals with the same screening constants in coordinate space are also derived

    Theory of complete orthonormal relativistic vector wave function sets and Slater type relativistic vector orbitals in coordinate, momentum and four-dimensional spaces

    The new analytical relations for the relativistic vector wave functions and Slater type relativistic vector orbitals in coordinate, momentum and four-dimensional spaces are derived using the properties of quasirelativistic vector spherical harmonics introduced by the author in previous paper (I. I. Guseinov, J. Math. Chem., 44, 197 (2008)) and complete orthonormal scalar basis sets of nonrelativistic psi(alpha)-exponential type orbitals (psi(alpha)-ETO), phi(alpha)-momentum space orbitals (phi(alpha)-MSO) and z(alpha)-hyperspherical harmonics (z(alpha)-HSH). The 6-component relativistic vector wave functions obtained are complete without the inclusion of the continuum. The relativistic vector wave function sets and Slater type relativistic vector orbitals are expressed through the corresponding quasirelativistic vector wave functions and Slater vector orbitals, respectively. The analytical formulas are also derived for overlap integrals over Slater type relativistic vector orbitals with the same screening constants in coordinate space

    New implementation of second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory with an analytic Slater-type geminal

    No full text
    The author introduces a new method for the exchange commutator integrals in explicitly correlated Møller-Plesset second order perturbation theory. The method is well suited with an analytic Slater-type geminal correlation factor. He also explains the scheme for auxiliary integrals needed for the correlation factor. Based on different Ansätze, he analyzes the performance of the method on correlation energies and reaction enthalpies in detail.journal articl

    Folic acid supplementation during the juvenile-pubertal period in rats modifies the phenotype and epigenotype induced by prenatal nutrition

    Prenatal nutritional constraint is associated with increased risk of metabolic dysregulation in adulthood contingent on adult diet. In rats, folic acid supplementation of a protein-restricted (PR) diet during pregnancy prevents altered phenotype and epigenotype in the offspring induced by the PR diet. We hypothesized that increasing folic acid intake during the juvenile-pubertal (JP) period would reverse the effects of a maternal PR diet on the offspring. Rats were fed a control (C) or PR diet during pregnancy and AIN93G during lactation. Offspring were weaned on d 28 onto diets containing 1 mg [adequate folate (AF)] or 5 mg [folic acid-supplemented (FS)] folic acid/kg feed. After 28 d, all offspring were fed a high-fat (18% wt:wt) diet and killed on d 84. As expected, offspring of PR dams fed the AF diet had increased fasting plasma triglyceride (TAG) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (betaHB) concentrations. The FS diet induced increased weight gain, a lower plasma betaHB concentration, and increased hepatic and plasma TAG concentration compared with AF offspring irrespective of maternal diet. PPARalpha and glucocorticoid receptor promoter methylation increased in liver and insulin receptor promoter methylation decreased in liver and adipose tissue in FS compared with AF offspring, with reciprocal changes in mRNA expression irrespective of maternal diet. These findings show that increased folic acid intake during the JP period did not simply reverse the phenotype induced by the maternal diet. This may represent a period of plasticity when specific nutrient intakes may alter the phenotype of the offspring through epigenetic changes in specific genes
