A standardized reference method for dermatophyte in vitro susceptibility testing is lacking. In a previous study, Norris et al. (H. A. Norris, B. E. Elewski, and M. A. Ghannoum, J. Am. Acad. Dermatol. 40(6, part 2):S9-S13) established the optimal medium and other growth variables. However, the earlier study did not address two issues: (i) selection of an optimal medium for conidial formation by...

The results of studies in several laboratories (l-3) have shown that folic acid is required for the prevention of anemia in the chick. The antianemic effect of P-pyracin lactone when administered together with the fermentation Lactobacillus casei factor (LCF), the folic acid conjugate of Hutchings, Stokstad, Bohonos, and Slobodkin (4), has been demonstrated by Scott, Norris, Heuser, and Bruce (...

In a 2014 report on adolescent mental health outcomes in the Moving to Opportunity for Fair Housing Demonstration (MTO), Kessler et al. reported that, at 10to 15-year follow-up, boys from households randomized to an experimental housing voucher intervention experienced 12-month prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at several times the rate of boys from control households. We rean...

The acoustic/phonetic characteristics of speech vary as a function of speaker, rate of speech, prosody, and so forth. Yet, when we process our native language, we are hardly ever aware of such variability; indeed, these variations are apparently dealt with automatically and effortlessly by the perceptual system. However, when processing artificially degraded speech or when listening to speakers...

It is shown that the law of an SDE driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter greater than 1/2 has a smooth density with respect to Lebesgue measure, provided that the driving vector fields satisfy Hörmander’s condition. The main new ingredient of the proof is an extension of Norris’ lemma to this situation.
