"We develop a new model of bivariate survival based on the notion of correlated individual frailty. We analyze the properties of this model and suggest a new approach to the analysis of bivariate data that does not require a parametric specification--but permits estimation--of the form of the hazard function for individuals. We empirically demonstrate the advantages of the model in the statis...

A numerical study of a complex network of coupled (Van der Pol) oscillators is performed. The problem of analyzing phase synchronization in a network by studying the index of phase synchronization, cal culated both along all elements of the network and according to the integral characteristics at different fre quencies of generator mismatch and different topologies of the bonds between network ...

LSI78Y mouse lymphoblastic leukemia cells normally require asparagine (ASN) for growth, but phenotypically stable ASN-independent cells are detectable at low fre quency by direct cloning, in ASN-free soft-agar medium, of cells from cultures that have been grown nonselectively in medium containing ASN. The rate of mutation in vitro to ASN independence was determined by the Luria-Delbruck fluctua...

By Surgeon P. MULVANY, Medical Staff.. Vaccinia has been described as a specific disease due to a specific virus?a disease unnatural to man, and consequently it is stated that the virus degenerates by successive human transmission, even when the utmost care is taken in the selection of the subject who furnishes the supply of lymph. .Tenner and some continental writers have recommended that reco...

"This paper deals with the estimation of single equation models in which the counts are regressed on a set of observed individual characteristics such as age, gender, or nationality.... We propose a generalized event count model to simultaneously allow for a wide class of count data models and account for over- and underdispersion. This model is successfully applied to German data on fertility...
