MLH1 immunoreactivity in prostatic adenocarcinoma. The increased MLH1 expression in the precursor lesion HGPIN suggests a role of MLH1 in prostatic carcinogenesis. However, its expression may not be related to the aggressiveness of prostatic cancer, because the intensity of immunoreactivity is similar in both intermediate and high-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma. Lastly, we have demonstrated the...

The paper shows that controlling for the aggregate volatility risk factor eliminates the puzzling negative relation between variability of trading activity and future abnormal returns. I find that variability of other measures of liquidity and liquidity risk is largely unrelated to expected returns. Lastly, I show that the low returns to firms with high variability of trading activity are not e...

We consider IES(SQL), the incremental evaluation system over an SQL-like language with grouping, arithmetics, and aggregation. We show that every second order query is in IES(SQL) and that there are PSPACE-complete queries in IES(SQL). We further show that every PSPACE query is in IES(SQL) augmented with a deterministic transitive closure operator. Lastly, we consider ordered databases and prov...

INTRODUCTION Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts longer than three to six months, or pain that persists beyond the expected time frame of healing for an injury1. This review looks at current practice in chronic pain management. The model of “pain as a disease entity” proposed by Siddall and Cousins2 is reviewed along with the interdisciplinary approach to chronic pain management. Lastly ...

Recent publications in adaptive filtering have shown great interest in the use of nonlinear structures. In particular the quadratic Volterra adaptive filter has proved very popular. In this paper we start by demonstrating the need for nonlinear adaptive filters. Subsequently we present a method for the estimation of the level of nonlinearity of a system so as to be able to select the appropriat...

The development of modern suture material offers the dermatologic surgeon an important choice in would closure. This review, although prejudiced in some instances by the author's experience, likes, and dislikes, is an attempt to clarify the difference between various absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures. Properties of suture material are discussed in detail. Guidelines for choice in regard to w...

In this paper, we present Internal Set Theory (IST) as a means to more intuitively develop mathematics while still maintaining complete rigor. We begin by stating the axioms of IST and demonstrating several of their central consequences. We then use these results to rigorously introduce the notions of infinitesimal numbers and infinite closeness. Lastly, we develop the calculus in a nonstandard...

We prove that for any closed manifold of dimension 3 or greater there is an open set of smooth flows that have a hyperbolic set that is not contained in a locally maximal one. Additionally, we show that the stabilization of the shadowing closure of a hyperbolic set is an intrinsic property for premaximality. Lastly, we review some results due to Anosov that concern premaximality.

Using a transfer matrix method, we present some results for directed lattice walkers in a horizontal strip of finite width. Some cases with two walkers in a small width are solved exactly, as are a couple of cases with vicious walkers in a small width; a conjecture is made for a case with three walkers. We also derive the general transfer matrix for two walkers. Lastly, we examine the dependenc...

In this paper, a global prosodic word grouping probability estimation method is proposed. By using some statistical probabilities of four kinds of lexical word position types, the optimum prosodic word grouping path of a sentence can be obtained with the dynamic programming approach. In addition, some statistical and rule punish or encourage strategies have been used to improve the accuracy of ...
