The United States Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that about 4.3 million metric tons of medical/hospital wastes are generated annually in the United States, of this approximately 60% comes directly from hospitals. The other 40% are generated by such facilities as laboratories, physicians offices, dental offices, veterinarian clinics, funeral homes and care facilities, just to name...

FRANCIS A. ROESCH, JR. Adaptive cluster sampling is shown to be a viable alternative for sampling forests when there are rare characteristics of the forest trees which are of interest and occur on clustered trees. The ideas of recent work in Thompson (1990) have been extended to the case in which the initial sample is selected with unequal probabilities. An example is given in which the initial...

Results Overall the breast weight was higher in patients with ER+ disease. The weight was found to be significantly higher in women aged 50 years or older with ER+ tumours (669 vs. 220 grams, p = 0.015). There was no significant difference in breast weight between ER+ and ERtumours in women aged less than 50 years (median weight: 440 vs.408 grams, p = 0.379). We observed a non-significant assoc...

We are currently investigating measurable esthetic characteristics in persons considered “attractive” by the media. Three-dimensional soft-tissue facial asymmetry was quantified in 380 attractive (148 males, 232 females) and 669 control (397 males, 272 females) healthy persons aged 4–30 years. The coordinates of 50 facial landmarks were collected by a computerized digitizer, and asymmetry compu...

We calculate the leading order anomalous dimension of the transversity structure function directly using three different methods, the local light–cone expansion in the forward case, the non–forward case, and the short–distance expansion of the forward Compton amplitude. Our results agree with the original calculation by Artru and Mekhfi [Z. Phys. 45 (1990) 669], which has been doubted recently....
