This note provides necessary and su cient conditions for third-degree stochastic dominance between the probability measures on a nite grid of n points. Verifying these conditions involve n linear and n quadratic inequalities; the arithmetic operation of division is not required. The results are compared with those of Fishburn and Lavalle, Math. Operat. Res. 20 (1995) 513–525 and Milne and Neave...

Metabolic disposition of 5,5-dimethyl-2-(1-methylethylidene)-cyclohexanone (I) was examined in rats. Compound (I) was administered orally (250 mg/kg of body weight/day) to rats for 5 days. The following urinary metabolites were isolated and identified: 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro3,6,6-trimethylbenzofuran (III), 3,3-dimethylcyclohexanone (VI), 5,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2-(1-methylethylidene)-cyclohexanone (...

Bonn Risk Index (BRI) is being used for the assessment of urinary calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystallization. There are no published data regarding BRI during growth. The objective of this study was to establish ageand sex-dependent BRI values in healthy children and adolescents. A total of 1,050 Caucasian subjects aged 3– 18 years (525 males, 525 females) without a history of kidney stone disease ...

In this study the energy and economic flows and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of olive oil production in Iran were investigated in terms of a life cycle assessment with considering four main stages of agricultural olive production, olive transportation, olive oil extraction and its oil transportation to the customer centers. Data was collected from 150 olive growers in Guilan province of Iran....

Chocolate bars and chocolate cookies are foodstuffs highly appreciated by children. The possibility of having fluorine (F) among their components, associated with an excessive consumption, may make them decisive contributors to the total daily F intake. Thus, they could participate in the establishment of dental fluorosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the fluorine concentration [F] of t...

Exposure of rats to aniline at daily doses of 50 mg/kg of body weight over a month stimulated the microsomal metabolism as manifested by (1) acceleration of p-hydroxylation of anilin and N-demethylation of aminopyrine in 9-000 times g postmitochondrial supernatant of the liver, (2) shortening the sleeping time after hexobarbital, and (3) reduction of the antipyretic effect of phenacetin. In the...
