Little David . The latter weapon used a shell with pre-engraved band(Ref 12,pp 172-3)- As examples of smooth-bore breech-loaders may be cited the 2-in Mortar of Brit design installed on some US tanks used during WWII and the 75mm Infantry Assault Mortar, M1923. As an example of rifled-bore breech-loaders may be cited the 12-in Seacoast Mortar, Model 1890, which is now obsolete(Refs 20 21)... 

Arthur D. Little, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, was the contractor who prepared these Guidelines. R. Scott Stricoff was Arthur D. Little s Project Director. The principal author was Mary I. Woodell. Key contributors included Henry Ozogand David Webb. Tracey Martensen s contribution to manuscript preparation was invaluable. 

David Hull I think that reaction norms are absolutely essential to our understanding of genetics, evolution and what have you. I have an historical question to ask - Why has so little been written about reaction norms I realise that a book was published recently devoted entirely to reaction norms (Shlichting and Piglicci, 1998). With great enthusiasm, I bought the book, read it, and discovered I already knew everything in that book. Why is such an important notion left so unanalysed.

They had gone now and Patsy felt that David was standing beside the bed and looking down at him. He opened his eyes and two more tears escaped, which he hastily brushed away. Immediately David was on his knees, the little cripple s hand clasped tenderly in his. 

You poor kid, poor little crippled kid, muttered David, patting the small, thin hand. It s natural, I suppose, for you to pine for your mother, but ain t Davy been almost like a mother to you, Patsy He s tried hard, that he has, to be father and mother and big brother all in one. And the man smiled somewhat wistfully. 

A fearful fit of coughing racked the little form and David held him gently in his arms until the paroxysm had passed. Then, laying the boy back upon the pillows, he said quietly ... 

For the first time in his life David was so preoccupied that he paid no heed to the little cripple who had now withdrawn to the darkest comer of the room and crouched there in abject terror. The two men made a hasty meal and then sat by the table talking in tones so low that Patsy heard scarcely a word of what was said. Anyway, he cared nothing for their plans now he had spoiled everything for them. But how was he to tell David, how was he to tell David ... 

You know, said David, a little diffidently, after a moment, I don t want to stick my nose in where it doesn t belong, but are you telling me you are not an alcoholic You mean this is some illness, some hereditary problem He laughed, again a little embarrassed. Don t answer if you don t want to. ... 

Science magazine had printed a summary of a pharmacology conference where a prominent scientist, Dr. David Nachmanson, had expounded his formulation of the mode of action of cholinesterase inhibitors. His list of references included a study published earlier by a Dr. VanSint. Fred and I sensed the opportunity to shake up our beloved Chief Scientist a little bit. We forged a dissenting view addressed from Van to Dr. Nachmanson, fdling it with preposterous assertions. We typed it carefully, and signed it Van M. Sim, M.D. (as distinct from Dr.VanSinf ). 

I thank Keith U. Ingold for having introduced me to this subject. When I arrived in Ottawa at the National Research Council of Canada in 1979 for three years postdoctoral work with him, very little was known on the reactivity of silyl radicals. At that time, several papers dealing with kinetics of silyl radicals were published, which allowed the reactivity of silyl radical to be translated into a quantitative base. Special thanks go to David Griller for his collaboration on the initial work on hydrogen donor abilities of silicon hydrides during the late 1980s. 

The Flemish painter David Ryckaert s portrait of an alchemist (Figure i6) combines the untidy desk littered with vanitas symbols, the vase (here containing not urine, but the coming-to-form of a homunculus), and the wife. Like Madame de Lavoisier, the wife peers over the shoulder of her seated husband. In Ryckaert s work, the alchemist wears an expression of horror. The glass contains a little man, or perhaps the devil. The wife raises her hand in dismay. Meanwhile, in the corner, a child blows a pig s bladder, a common symbol of futility.
