We analyze congruence classes of S(n, k), the Stirling numbers of the second kind, modulo powers of 2. This analysis provides insight into a conjecture posed by Amdeberhan, Manna and Moll, which those authors established for k at most 5. We provide a framework that can be used to justify the conjecture by computational means, which we then complete for values of k between 5 and 20.

5. Hexylresorcinol.?It is a synthetic compound of pale yellow crystalline nature, probably the safest of the anthelmintics. It is very efficient in ascariasis and fairly satisfactory in oxyuriasis and ancylostomiasis. The drug can be given in freshly filled gelatine capsules or in the form of 1 crystoids ' anthelmintic pills with hard gelatine coating containing 0.1 and 0.2 gm. The dose is 1 gm...

OBJECTIVE Assessment of disordered eating has uncertain validity across culturally diverse populations. This study evaluated Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) performance in an ethnic Fijian study population. METHOD The EDE-Q was translated, adapted, and administered to school-going Fijian adolescent females (N = 523). A subsample (n = 81) completed it again within approximate...

We analyse the power spectra of avalanches in two classes of selforganized critical sandpile models, the Bak–Tang–Wiesenfeld model and the Manna model. We show that these decay with a 1/fα power law, where the exponent value α is significantly smaller than 2 and equals the scaling exponent relating the avalanche size to its duration. We discuss the basic ingredients behind this result, such as ...

SCI – Scalable Coherent Interface – is a new IEEE standard for specifying communicationbetween multiprocessors in a shared memory model. In this paper we model part of SCI by a program written in a UNITY-like programming language. This part of SCI is formally specified in Manna and Pnueli’s Linear Time Temporal Logic (LTL). We prove that the program satisfies its specification. The proof is car...

effects as the number of administered doses increases. Our patient’s liver function was deranged, possibly due to granulomatous hepatitis, which has been described in this setting [2]. Treatment with prednisolone and anti-tuberculous chemotherapy was based on advice found in the literature [2,4,5]. Prednisolone at a starting dose of 40mg daily, tapering over 3 months as response occurs, plus is...
