In way, or ways, do differ? paper reviews recent work on these questions. Four main respects which held to differ a...

Background: Differentiation of benign from malignant mesothelial proliferations is a major problem in the pathology of the serosal membranes, particularly in small biopsy specimen. This study was conducted for the evaluation of proliferative marker for distinction between malignant mesothelioma (MM) and mesothelial hyperplasia (MH). Materials and Methods: Thirty six cases of malignant mesotheli...

A comparative analysis of harmonic and biharmonic boundary-value problems for 2D problems on a rectangle is given. Some common features of two types of problems are emphasized and special attention is given to the basic distinction between them. This distinction was thoroughly studied for the first time by L. N. G. Filon with respect to some plane problems in the theory of elasticity. The analy...

The paper presents and discusses the distinction between inductive and deductive System Dynamics modeling. Findings are that the distinction between inductive and deductive modeling is helpful in appropriately setting up, conducting, and evaluating System Dynamics projects. The discussion is based on a literature review, conceptual considerations, and the insights gained from case studies, both...

In this paper, we analyze the effects of the distinction between long and short data grants in the Data Over Cable Service Interface specifications (DOCSIS) protocol. According to DOCSIS specifications, the grants for a bandwidth request of a cable modem can be for either short or long data packets. The threshold value classifying a short and long data packet is a system operation parameter and...

This is a commentary requested by the J Insur Med Editor to accompany a reprinting in this 2004 issue of my 1988 article on "Conversion of Mortality Ratios to a Numerical Rating Classification for Life Underwriting" (J Insur Med 1988;20:54-61). Topics discussed in this commentary include the distinction between short-term and long-term mortality follow-up in certain conditions, the format and t...
