Hutchinson (1890) described a man aged 80 years who was prevented from wearing his hat by painful, inflamed temporal arteries. Horton, Magath, and Brown (1932) described two more patients and called the syndrome temporal arteritis. Originally thought to be a localized, self-limiting, and benign disorder, inflammation of the temporal arteries is often part of a widespread arteritis (Cooke, Cloak...

Comprehensive eigenmode characterizations of ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) instabilities in slab geometries with different magnetic shear profiles are investigated using an eigenvalue method. The results the uniform configuration verified via Hamaguchi–Horton theory [S. Hamaguchi and W. Horton, Phys. Fluids B 2, 1833 (1990)]. However, it is interestingly found that linear growth rate mode freq...

ewes injected with progesterone every 2 days over a 12-day period, followed 2 days later by a single injection of oestradiol, the prostaglandin F level in peripheral plasma rose significantly about 6 hr after the oestrogen treatment. Levels of prostaglandin F had returned to those seen before the oestrogen injection by 18 to 24 hr after the oestrogen treatment. In some ovariectomized animals, a...

Ever since Wong–Riley first reported in the late 1970s that histological staining using the chemical reactions of cytochrome oxidase (CO), a metabolic enzyme in the mitochondria, is useful to reveal the cytoarchitecture of the brain (Wong-Riley, 1979), the CO histochemistry method has been widely used in the field of neuroanatomy, especially in carnivores and primates. It has been suggested tha...

[1] Primary productivity and vegetation cover are strongly related to how precipitation is partitioned into surface discharge, storage, and evapotranspiration (ET). Thus, quantifying feedbacks between changes in precipitation and vegetation at regional scales is a critical step toward predicting both carbon balance and water resources as climate and land cover change. We used a catchment-based ...

Hash tables are important data structures that lie at the heart of important applications such as key-value stores and relational databases. Typically bucketized cuckoo hash tables (BCHTs) are used because they provide highthroughput lookups and load factors that exceed 95%. Unfortunately, this performance comes at the cost of reduced memory access efficiency. Positive lookups (key is in the ta...

The Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education special issue on “Computing in the Curriculum” features a set papers that provide mosaic curricular innovations approaches embrace computing. As we reviewed felt this collection would benefit from perspective authors landmark Curricula” (TAS 2010) paper. We asked Deb Duncan to take opportunity reflect landscape when they wrote paper, comment ...
