    Palindrome Palindromes

    Get PDF
    Palindroming is such an unnatural occupation that it is extremely hard to make an intelligible pal of length, or even a short one involving diphthongs, especially if H is involved. (No, no, the letter, not the drug. But I imagine heroin would make it totally impossible, if not uninteresting.) Hence most pals require and ideally requite explanation, as few make easy reading, unlike anagrams which are much easier. With that excuse, I present some more or less identical palls that include and define the word palindrome itself in a new way, so far as I know

    Stress Among Health Care Professionals - The Need for Resiliency

    Get PDF
    Healthcare professionals are subjected to considerable levels of stress such as work overload, excessive working hours, sleep deprivation, repeated exposure to emotionally charged situations, dealing with difficult patients and conflicts with other staffs.

    Antigrams from Word Ways: A Retrospective

    In the November 2009 Kickshaws, Ove Michaelsen presented a selection of antigrams from various sources, but excluded mention of any from Word Ways. I\u27ve presented nearly 200 herein and felt a review of the best of these would give Word Ways due credit and balance out Ove\u27s list. A few of these don\u27t agree grammatically but were apt enough otherwise to forgive and include

    Numerical calculations near spatial infinity

    Get PDF
    After describing in short some problems and methods regarding the smoothness of null infinity for isolated systems, I present numerical calculations in which both spatial and null infinity can be studied. The reduced conformal field equations based on the conformal Gauss gauge allow us in spherical symmetry to calculate numerically the entire Schwarzschild-Kruskal spacetime in a smooth way including spacelike, null and timelike infinity and the domain close to the singularity.Comment: 10 pages, 2 postscript figures, uses psfrag; to appear in the Proceedings of the Spanish Relativity Meeting (ERE 2006), Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 4-8 September 200
