Practitioners of computer music often need to store sound as sampled digital data on hard disks, digital audio tapes, or compact discs. Discusses a few of the many ways that sound data can be stored in computer files, and describes several of the file formats that are in common use for this purpose. Extensive references are given to printed and network accessible machine readable documentation and source code resources.

The ways in which Persian kings counted their regnal years are examined. Possible evidence from Achaemenid sources in Greek, Hebrew, Persian and Egyptian suggest that, in the Persian homeland, regnal years sometimes may have been counted from one anniversary of the king's accession to the next.

Wilhelm Halbfass has examined some references in Hindu and Jain writings to the Thags and the samsaramocaka, who supposedly advocated killing for reasons of religious compassion. The narrative description of the Thags by Hemacandra Maladharin and to references to the Samsaramocaka are discussed.

Outline of the work undertaken at the Sacred Animal Necropolis at North Saqqara in 1992. The purpose of the project was to supplement information recorded by previous EES missions to the site and to apply recently developed analytical methods, particularly metrical analyses. Although the work represents a new study, it is also intended to facilitate the publication of the site currently being undertaken by H. S. Smith.

The lethal events of Pichinde virus infections were studied in large (> 36-week-old), small (4- to 6-week-old), and uninfected strain 13 guinea pigs. Time to death was shorter and the rate of body weight loss greater for large than for small virus-infected guinea pigs. Severely ill large guinea pigs developed a life-threatening, nonlactate metabolic acidemia with an increased anion gap, hypokalemia, and renal failure. Small infected guinea pigs near death demonstrated a modest increase in blood and plasma volume indices and in lung and heart permeability to albumin. This group showed a severe hypoxemia, elevated blood lactate, and bicarbonate ion concentrations with a doubled respiratory rate. These findings are consistent with respiratory failure due to obstruction of small airways. Although virus-infected guinea pig endothelial cells showed a decrease in DNA and protein synthesis, no change in bradykinin-induced intracellular calcium signaling was noted.

Many previous studies have pointed to the presence of cyclic patterns in the distribution and concentration of international power. I test this theory and find that the evolution of systemic power concentration since 1494 is not cyclic, but is chaotic. This implies that, although there are no strict cycles, the evolution of power concentration is influenced by structural constraints. An underlying order in the transfer of power results in a patterned, although not a determinate, evolution over time. An exploratory model in the chaotic domain is developed by combining a few common assumptions from the power literature. This model results in some interesting implications, such as the finding that multipolarity, bipolarity, and hegemony can all be stable configurations under certain conditions.
