The purpose of this note is to point out the connection between the invariance property of M IM 11 and GIl G I1 queues (which has been reported in several papers) and the interchangeability and reversibility properties of tandem queues. This enables us to gain new insights for both problems and obtain stronger invariance results for MIM/l, GIIG/I, as well as loss systems MIM/IIN, GIIG/IIN and t...

A new statistical method for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL), called multiple interval mapping (MIM), is presented. It uses multiple marker intervals simultaneously to fit multiple putative QTL directly in the model for mapping QTL. The MIM model is based on Cockerham's model for interpreting genetic parameters and the method of maximum likelihood for estimating genetic parameters. With t...

BACKGROUND In 1962, Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM) began to publish papers on the methodology and scientific fundamentals of managing data, information, and knowledge in biomedicine and health care. Meeting an increasing demand for research about practical implementation of health information systems, the journal Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) was launched in 2009. Both journals a...

Molar-incisor malformation (MIM) or molar root-incisor (MRIM) is a dental anomaly that affects teeth and maxillary central incisors. Even though, the etiology not exactly known, it has been reported several factors such as staphylococcal infection in neonatal period, neurological diseases meningitis hydrocephalus, ongoing medications, infectious premature delivery were effective. In this case r...

We have identified a complex in mitochondria that functions as a part of the preprotein import machinery of the inner membrane (MIM complex). Two known components, MIM23 and MIM17, and two novel components, MIM33 and MIM14, were found as constituents of this complex. In the presence of a translocating chain, the outer membrane import machinery (MOM complex) and the MIM complex form translocatio...

A utosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of keratinisation, with an estimated incidence of one per 200 000 newborns. In Scandinavia, the prevalence is closer to one in 50 000. 3 By electron microscopy, ARCI can be classified into four subgroups—ichthyosis congenita I–IV—and one so far undefined group. Six loci h...

This document tries to deene and characterize a class of applications called Multi-Party Interactive Multimedia (MIM), for which many examples are given. This class includes applications such as CSCW, teleconferencing, and remote education; its consideration in this report is based on the observation that MIM applications are both important and representative for the area of high-performance re...

We present the MIM calculus, a modeling formalism with a strong biological basis, which provides biologically-meaningful operators for representing the interaction capabilities of molecular species. The operators of the calculus are inspired by the reaction symbols used in Molecular Interaction Maps (MIMs), a diagrammatic notation used by biologists. Models of the calculus can be easily derived...

Thermochemical studies of the ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [C(2)MIM][C(CN)(3)] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide [C(4)MIM][C(CN)(3)] have been performed in this work. Vaporization enthalpies have been obtained using a recently developed quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. The molar enthalpies of formation of these ionic liquids in the liqu...
