An unusual origin of the common interosseous artery is reported in the paper. During educational dissection of a 37-year-old male, a rare variation in the origin of common interosseous artery of the right upper limb was observed. The common interosseous artery directly separated from radial artery. The right anterior interosseous artery is continued from common interosseous artery. Anterior and...

Background: Eosinophil count is influenced by variations in climate, culture, diet and life style. Moreover it fluctuates in a person with exercise and environmental stimuli, mainly seasonal allergen exposure. This study was conducted to know the effect of pollen peaks on eosinophil count in normal, non-allergic adult women. Material & Methods: This experimental study was carried out in Women M...

We consider the problem of selecting the normal population with the smallest coefficient of variation, which is a natural goal when the means as well as the variances of the populations are unknown and unequal. The indifference-zone approach (Bechhofer 1954) to this problem has been previously considered by Choi, Jeon and Kim (1982). We review their selection procedure and provide tables of sam...

The Hooman{Wielandt inequality which gives a bound for the distance between the spectra of two normal matrices, is generalized to normal operators A; B on a separable Hilbert space, such that A ? B is Hilbert{Schmidt.

MOTIVATION In contrasting levels of gene expression between groups of SAGE libraries, the libraries within each group are often combined and the counts for the tag of interest summed, and inference is made on the basis of these larger 'pseudolibraries'. While this captures the sampling variability inherent in the procedure, it fails to allow for normal variation in levels of the gene between in...

Statistical timing techniques are used to quantify the effects of process variation on performance and yield. Applied to analysis, they have been successful in reducing the overconservatism in traditional worst-case methods; applied to optimization, they can produce circuits with better performance under process variation. In this paper, we examine the problem of variation-aware clock skew sche...

The number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) is often increased in the terminal ileum of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases of the colon. However, data regarding their number in normal ileal mucosa of asymptomatic patients are lacking. We aimed to establish the acceptable range of IELs in biopsy specimens of normal ileal mucosa. Ileal mucosal biopsy specimens obtained durin...

Inference for the mean of a normal distribution with known coefficient of variation is of special theoretical interest because the model belongs to the curved exponential family with a scalar parameter of interest and a two-dimensional minimal sufficient statistic. Therefore, standard inferential methods cannot be directly applied to this problem. It is also of practical interest because this p...

Day-to-day variation of the corrected orthogonial electrocardiogram was investigated in 20 normal subjects. Ten recordings were made in each individual witlh chest electrode positions left unmarked first, after which 10 subjects underwent another series of 10 consecutive daily recordings with marked electrode locations. Mean and maximal day-to-day variations of durations and amplitudes of diffe...

The existence of parallel mates to a given closed space curves in the sense of depends on its total normal twist, i.e. the angle of rotation of a normal vector subject to parallel transfer in the normal bundle after one period. Parallel mates exist ii this quantity is an integer multiple of 2. The aim of this note is to investigate the change of the total normal twist under isotopic deformation...
