with large datasets. Finally, we mention some modifications and extensions that have been applied to the standard SV algorithm, and discuss the aspect of regularization from a SV perspective.

in several countries (3). More importantly, the prognosis of patients with mesothelioma is grim, most surviving less than a year after initial diagnosis (1, 2). Thus, effective therapeutic strategies are desperately needed. In the past few years, simian virus 40 (SV40), a DNA virus, has been linked

to variations in measurement or bone geometry. For in vivo tibia measurements, a typical precision (1 SD) of ± 5,g lead (g bone mineral)- ' is achieved for an effective dose equivalent of 2.1 tSv. Measurement can be made of any superficial bone site, but precision will vary approximately as the inverse

The immune response of Drosophila melanogaster is complex and involves both specific and general responses to parasites. In this study we tested for cross-immunity for bacteria and viruses by scoring the incidence of infection with the vertically transmitted Sigma virus (DMelSV) in the progeny

signaling pathway (which mimetic effects of life span extending mutations or calorie restriction) could be a perspective direction in regulation of longevity. Antidiabetic biguanides are most promising among them. The chronic treatment of inbred 129/Sv mice with metformin (100 mg/kg in drinking water

The article presents the rst results we have obtained studying natural reasoning from a proof-theoretic perspective. In particular, we focus our attention on monotonicity reasoning: Inferences are made using structurally parsed sentences on which monotonic positions are displayed

in the cube drawings were biased towards 90◦. The bias was present over a wide range of intermediate tilts. The results support a perspective convergence theory and run counter to ‘Extreme Foreshortening’, Gestalt and Cognitive theories.

In accordance with current knowledge of radiation health risks, the Health Physics Society recommends against quantitative estimation of health risks below an individual dose1 of 50 millisievert (mSv) in one year or a lifetime dose of 100 mSv above that received from natural sources. Doses from

and pervasive myths, muddles and misconceptions in their treatment and outline the implicit as well as the explicit reinforcement of gender stereotypes which have informed theory, policy and practice over time. Yet whilst ‘welfare ’ perspectives have often brought trouble for girls in terms of excessive

Using a nonmodal decomposition technique based on the potential vorticity (PV) perspective, the optimal perturbation or singular vector (SV) of the Eady model without upper rigid lid is studied for a kinetic energy norm. Special emphasis is put on the role of the continuum modes (CM
