Let X1,X2, ... be independent and symmetric random variables such that Sn = X1+ ...+Xn converges to a finite valued random variable S a.s. and let S = sup1≤n<∞ Sn (which is finite a.s.). We construct upper and lower bounds for sy and s ∗ y, the upper 1 y th quantile of Sy and S , respectively. Our approximations rely on an explicitly computable quantity q y for which we prove that 1 2 q y/2 < s...

We describe a new automated method for measuring serum salicylate in the Multistat III microcentrifugal analyzer. Ferric nitrate reagent and serum blanking are used. We compare this new method, the automated Du Pont aca method, and the manual Trinder method with a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method. The unblanked Trinder method had the poorest correlation (r = 0.980, Sy X x = 19.1...

The wood-rotting fungi of three Korean islands in the Yellow Sea, Soyeonpyung-do (SY), Oeyeon-do (OY), and Gageo-do (GG), were investigated from October 2004 to November 2005. During four sampling trips on each island, a total of 46, 44, and 44 specimens were collected from SY, OY, and GG, respectively. The identified wood-rotting fungi from SY included 29 species of 22 genera and nine families...

Geometric study of a second-order Fuchsian differential equation u′′ − q(x)u = 0, where q is rational in x, has been made via the Schwarz map as well as via the hyperbolic and the derived Schwarz maps ([SYY]). When the equation admits an irregular singularity, such a study was first made in [SY] treating the confluent hypergeometric equation and the Airy equation. In this paper, we study the hy...

BACKGROUND/AIM There are many specificities of merital infertility and sometimes surprising connections between some thinks with no connections at first sight. Examinations of these patients imply diagnostic actions such as the blood basal hormone sample, doing hysterosalpingography, ultrahysterosonography, ultrasound examinations, and sometimes laparoscopy and hysteroscopy if there are necessa...
