A 33-year-old hypertensive, diabetic woman had a 6 year history of progressive lower extremity weakn ess . More recently she had developed dysesthetic pains in both lower extremities associated with urinary and fecal incontinence. Physical examination revealed a grossly obese female weighing 174 kg. Normal motor and sensory fu nction was noted in the upper extremi ties, but fl accid paralysis a...

We investigate the competition between allele the invasion prospects of rare mutant distorter resident distorter allele are present. The param t complex of the house mouse, one of the be analyzing the invasion chances of rare alleles, w lation results. We show that a new distorter alle at the gamete and at the individual level. In fac rareness advantage if their negative fitness cons Likewise, ...

➥ lation are familiar and the ‘swing’ of the pressure trace during inspiration and expiration is easily seen on a standard monitor display. These changes are largely the consequence of alterations in intrathoracic pressure (PIT). It is important to recognise that PIT greatly influences the transmural pressure (PTM), which is the actual effective distending pressure of the cardiac chamber, and r...

Another patient with a congenital coagu-lation disorder due to the presence of an abnormal factor X (factor X Friuli) is presented. The proposita was a 43-yr-old white female who had a bleeding tendency from early childhood (epistaxes, monorrhagias, bleeding after tooth extractions and other surgical procedures, posttraumatic hemarthroses, bleeding from the gums and postpartum hemorrhages). The...

The title compound, C(28)H(24)N(2)O(5), was prepared from (E)-2-cinnamyl-1,3-diphenyl-propane-1,3-dione using standard Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxy-lation conditions, followed by treatment with 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole. In the crystal structure, the phenyl rings form inter-molecular face-to-face π-π contacts, with an inter-planar angle of 15.5 (2)° and a centroid-centroid distance of 4.73 (1...

The mechanisms of in situ topography changes must be identified for spatial planning coastal areas. In this study, the authors used direct measurement methods and indirect remote-sensing technologies to develop a method beach surveillance. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have advantages high portability mobility low operating altitude. Therefore, UAV was equipped with lightweight camera position...

In analogy to this subtraction we propose the The proposed method has the aim to name 'symbolic subtraction' for our new separate the filled in (typed or handwritten) approach in this paper: the 'symbolic difference' information in a form, from the fixed preprinted Sym(FF)-Sym(BF) means the recognition of t...

(57) Disclosed is a system and method for computing out of plane motion between tWo ultrasound images. The method identi ?es regions of fully developed speckle that are common to the tWo images, computes a correlation coe?icient corresponding to the tWo fully developed speckle image regions, and then computing an elevation distance corresponding to the corre lation coe?icient. The method exploi...

We present algorithms that given a straight edge tri-angulation of n points in the plane encode a triangu-lation as a permutation of the points. A rst algorithm , of rather theoretical interest, realizes the encoding and decoding in O(n) time. We also present a more practical algorithm consuming O(n log n) time. As a byproduct of this work we get a new upper bound on the number of triangulation...
