Inversion of uterus is a rare clinical condition, if not associated with puerperium or third stage of labour. Non-puerperal uterine inversion usually results secondary to tumour implanted at fundus of the uterus. An unusual case of non-puerperal uterine inversion caused by a large submucosal fundal fibroid is reported where a 39-year-old woman presented with heavy bleeding per vaginum and profu...

We introduce a technique for using broadband seismograms recorded from earthquakes at local and regional distances to refine basin structure. For the region outside the basin, we assume a one-dimensional (1D) crustal model and analytical techniques (GRT) to propagate the energy from sources to the basin edge where the motions are then interfaced with a (2D) finite-difference algorithm (Wen and ...

Text: The Helmholtz equation is frequently used as f model for sonic inversion for both geophysical and medical applications. In this paper we describe explicitly the use of multi-sources, i.e., the simultaneous 'firing' of all transducers for the case of medical, and all geophones for the case of geophysical inversion, resulting in a novel inversion procedure that enabling the circmumvention o...

This paper demonstrates a Remez exchange algorithm applicable to approximation of real-valued continuous functions of a real variable by polynomials of degree smaller than n with various linear restrictions. As special cases are included the notion of restricted derivatives approximation (examples of which are monotone and convex approximation and restricted range approximation) and the notion ...

A new data-based method of estimation and variable selection in linear statistical models is proposed. This method is based on a generalized maximum entropy formalism, and makes use of both sample and non-sample information in determining a basis for coe$cient shrinkage and extraneous variable identi"cation. In contrast to tradition, shrinkage and variable selection are achieved on a coordinate...

In this paper a new nonparametric estimate of conditional quantiles is proposed, that avoids the problem of crossing quantile curves [calculated for various p ∈ (0, 1)]. The method uses an initial estimate of the conditional distribution function in a first step and solves the problem of inversion and monotonization with respect to p ∈ (0, 1) simultaneously. It is demonstrated that the new esti...

We present a new inversion formula for the classical, finite, and asymptotic Laplace transform f̂ of continuous or generalized functions f . The inversion is given as a limit of a sequence of finite linear combinations of exponential functions whose construction requires only the values of f̂ evaluated on a Müntz set of real numbers. The inversion sequence converges in the strongest possible sens...
