The superconducting charge-phase ‘Quantronium’ qubit is considered in order to develop a model for the measurement process used in the experiment of Vion et. al. [Science 296 886 (2002)]. For this model we propose a method for including the bias current in the read-out process in a fundamentally irreversible way, which to first order, is approximated by the Josephson junction tilted-washboard p...

A new Markovian method for the prediction of phylogenetic trees has been developed earlier by the authors. Here, the method is illustrated and applied using mitochondrial DNA data for vertebrate species (and technicalities of the theory are avoided). Discussions include the sensitivity of the results to DNA alignment techniques and the inclusion of polytomy in tree structures. Several compariso...

Prognosis of multiple sclerosis is highly variable. Clinical variables have been identified that are assessable early in the disease and are predictors of the time from the disease onset to the onset of irreversible disability. Our objective was to determine if these clinical variables still have an effect after the first stages of disability have been reached. We determined the dates of diseas...

the effect of membrane molecular weight cut off (mwco) at three levels (10, 20 & 50 kd) on dynamic behavior of permeate flux (jp), hydraulic resistances (total hydraulic resistance, rt; reversible fouling resistance, rrf; irreversible fouling resistance, rif and membrane hydraulic resistance, rm) and milk solutes rejection (protein, rp; fat, rf; lactose, rl; minerals, rm and total solids, r...
