Pulmonary MR Angiography in Swyer-James Syndrome

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) imaging findings in Swyer – James syndrome (SJS) as a alternative imaging modalities. Methods: Thirteen patients had posteroanterior inspiratory/expiratory chest X-ray films and pulmonary MRA with SJS (6 males, 7 females) were retrospectively studied. Gradient-echo pulmonary MRA was performed in all...

Revisiting Clopper-Pearson

This paper adds one more contribution to the large literature on binomial confidence intervals for small samples (e.g., Clopper and Pearson 1934; Pearson and Hartley 1954; Sterne 1954; Crow 1956; Blyth and Still 1983; Blyth 1986; Santner and Duffy 1989; Agresti and Coull 1998; Henderson and Meyer 2001). Clopper and Peason (1934) gave the first two-sided binomial confidence intervals, in graphic...

Pearson Codes Jos

The Pearson distance has been advocated for improving the error performance of noisy channels with unknown gain and offset. The Pearson distance can only fruitfully be used for sets of codewords, called Pearson codes, that satisfy specific properties. We will analyze constructions and properties of Pearson codes.

Fractional Pearson Diffusions.

Pearson diffusions are governed by diffusion equations with polynomial coefficients. Fractional Pearson diffusions are governed by the corresponding time-fractional diffusion equation. They are useful for modeling sub-diffusive phenomena, caused by particle sticking and trapping. This paper provides explicit strong solutions for fractional Pearson diffusions, using spectral methods. It also pre...
