  • Description: From Introduction: In probability theory it is often convenient to represent laws by characteristic functions, these being particularly suited to classical analysis. Trotter has suggest ted that probability laws can also be represented by probability operators. These operators are easily handled since they are continuous, and hence bounded, positive linear operators on a normed linear space. This representation arises because distribution functions and their complete convergence correspond to probability operators and their complete convergence. Hence the relations between distribution functions and probability operators will be discussed before the introduction of probability laws.

  • Description: From Preface: The Church has been divided from its very earliest days, when Christians of Jewish origin found it hard to accept that uncircumcised Gentiles might be Christians too. (See Acts 15, Galatians 2, etc.) It has since then known division into East and West, into Roman Catholic and Protestant, and into the hundreds and even thousands of denominations and sects which we know today, not to speak of the schisms between 'modernism' and 'fundamentalism', between Calvinism and Arminianism, and between 'High' and 'Low' churchmanship. We are, however, being reminded more and more by the Ecumenical Movement that the Church of Christ is ONE. Jesus said: "On this rock I will build my Church" (not churches) - Matt. 16:18.

  • Description: The problem which confronts us at the outset, is the problem which has been facing historians for the past three hundred years: What were the causes of the English Civil War? What matters were responsible for the decisive split between Crown & Parliament into two distinct parties, and which ultimately led to civil war? Many theories and interpretations have been given. In this chapter, we will find that there are three major interpretations. The first is that it was a religious struggle - and so the Civil War became known as the 'Puritan Revolution'. The second is that it was a purely political conflict between the Crown and its Ministers, on the one hand, and the House of Commons, which had by then become the 'mirror' of the Puritan element in the country, on the other. And the third is that it was a class, or economic, war. Contemporary historians tended to regard it as a twofold struggle - a conflict over religion on the one hand, and the constitution on the other. It was they who coined the phrase 'Puritan Revolution'. This interpretation, however, has subsequently been challenged, in the light of the detailed research which has been conducted - especially in the field of economic history. And so the Civil War has been interpreted in terms of a social and economic conflict - it is said to be a class war. The social and economic factors have tended to become emphasized while the religious have been pushed into the background - often excluded altogether. It is my intention in this thesis, therefore, to assert once again the very real part played by religious matters in the origins of the English Civil War. Intro., p. 1.

  • Description: While some of the marine species enter estuaries, it is remarkable that no freshwater forms are known from East African lakes or from African rivers that flow eastwards. One species occurs in lakes in North Africa, and another in West Africa, and seven species of endemic Atherinid fishes have been found to be widespread in the freshwaters of Madagascar. A brief summary of the latter is given below, with a revised description of Teramulus waterloti (Pellegrin, 1932), and the new genus Teramulus, in which two species are shown to be present in Madagascar. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

  • Description: The town chosen for examination was King William’s Town, in the Border region of the Cape Province. Dating back over a century and more to the days of the old British Kaffraria, the town has existed long enough to build up an apparently stable population with its own way of life. Today about fourteen-and-a-half thousand souls live in the borough, of whom under seven thousand are Whites. The community lie s in a region of small towns, dominated by the nearby city of East London, which is about 40 miles away on the coast, and provides one of the smaller of the harbours on the eastern coastline of the Republic. King William's Town is a compact, apparently static community, and seems to be typical of many small inland towns in South Africa. Its ways of life and problems probably match those of not a few other towns in the Republic. What types of people live in a small town such as King William’s Town, and what do they think about their community? Where have the people in the town come from, and are they likely to stay on in the community, or leave it? How do they earn their living, and does the town provide a living for the younger generation, or must they leave to seek work elsewhere? These are key questions, involving important aspects of town life, which there search project attempts to answer. The study concentrates on the Whites living in the community, and analyses them in some d e tail. It describes the different types of people to be found in the town, and shows how they earn their living. Attitudes towards life in the town are investigated. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

  • Description: From the Introduction. The fertilisation of pineapples in the Eastern Cape Province is still a relatively new practice which started approximately twelve years ago. Even after this time many growers still insist that pineapples can be grown without fertilisation on virgin soils. As the available virgin soil decreased, however, so the interest in fertiliser application increased. Very little basic research on the fertiliser requirements of pineapples in the Eastern Cape was done to serve as a guide to growers. The available advisory literature by le Roux (1951), Malan (1954) and Lewcock (1956) were based on overseas experience. When pineapple research was started on a large scale, in 1955, it was realised that emphasis should be placed on the nutritional requirements on virgin as well as replanted soils. From initial experiments it was clear that the main response in plant growth and yield was obtained from nitrogenous fertilisers.

  • Description: The study was conducted to investigate the effects of: (i) varying the level of supply of the heavy metals iron, manganese, copper and zinc. (ii) varying the ratio between different pairs of metals in the medium. In particular the iron:manganese and zinc:copper ratios were studied. Initially the two fungi Aspergillus niger van Tieghem, (variety and strain) and Penicillium notatum Westling, were used. Penicillium notatum Westling was subsequently discarded, in favour of Penicillium glancum Link, because it did not sporulate freely in liquid culture. The fungi were grown in controlled nutrient solutions, and during the course of tho growth and development, the form and sporulation of the felts was noted. After a period of growth, the felts were removed, dried and weighed. The pH of the liquor was measured. the results were studied to determine the effect of varying levels of supply of the heavy metals, and of the varying heavy metal ratios in the culture solution. In the investigation of the effect of varying the level of supply of individual heavy metals, optimum concentrations were demonstrated for copper and manganese. Increaning the concentration of pairs of heavy metals cimultaneously was found to influence the appearance and degree of symptoms of toxicity. Cultures of Aspergillus and Penicillium were found to be able to tolerate concentrations of copper, in particular, considerably greater than the observed optima, when zinc was present in equal concentration. Citric acid, and subsequently ethylene- diaminetetra-acetic acid, were used as chelating agents, in order to prevent the precipitation of the metals in the culture solution during autoclaving. It was found that the use of chelating agents markedly reduced symptoms of toxicity. There was no conclusive evidence that the iron:manganese ratio in the culture medium was an important factor in the growth and development of cultures of Aspergillus and Penicillium. However there is considerable evidence that in cultures of Penicillium, the zinc:copper ratio in the medium is of some importance in the determination of the dry weight yield trends. This effect was not demonstrated in cultures of Aspergillus.
