This report proposes a standard method to characterize variability and sensitivity of functional neuroimaging experiments. Most functional neuroimaging analyses result in statistic images of signal-to-noise. However, it is essential to examine both signal and noise individually, to characterize sensitivity and to identify artifacts. Confidence intervals simultaneous convey signal and noise but ...

A UV-responsive polymer was prepared via condensation polymerization of 2-nitrobenzyl(4-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)phenyl)carbamate and azalaic acid dichloride. When the polymer was irradiated with UV light, the nitrobenzyl urethane protecting group was removed and the deprotected aniline underwent spontaneous 1,6-elimination reactions, resulting in degradation of the polymer. Nanoparticles with encap...

INDIAN PEDIATRICS 1161 VOLUME 42__NOVEMBER 17, 2005 Nitazoxanide (NTZ) is a novel broadspectrum antiparasitic agent originally discovered in 1980s by J.F. Rossignol. Nitazoxanide is effective in broad range of parasitic and protozoal infections including Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidium spp., Ascaris lumbricoides, Hymenolepis nana and Taenia solium/saginata.

The difference between the disease rates of two groups, one exposed and one not exposed to a suspected aetiological factor, is a useful measure of the risk associated with the factor. This measure is of most interest when the association is considered causal, and has been termed the attributable risk (MacMahon and Pugh, 1970). Expressed as a percentage of the total disease rate in a group (the ...

Aumann and Brandenburger [Econometrica 63 (1995), 1161 1180.] provide sufficient conditions on the knowledge of the players in a game for their beliefs to constitute a Nash equilibrium. They assume, among other things, mutual knowledge of rationality. By rationality of a player, it is meant that the action chosen by him maximizes his expected utility, given his beliefs. There is, however, no ne...
