A new monoclonal antibody to epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) E29. A comparison of its immunocytochemical reactivity with polyclonal anti-EMA antibodies and with another monoclonal antibody, HMFG-2. Summary Two polyclonal rabbit antibodies to epithelial membrane antogen (EMA), two mouse monoclonal antibodies (E29 and HMFG-2), and a "cocktail" of these two monoclonals have been compared using a...

In this paper we give a motivation for the shrinking rate 1/ √ n: Let p0 and qn be the outlier probability under the ideal model, and some member of a neighborhood about this ideal model of radius rn, respectively. Assuming n i.i.d. observations, the critical rate of rn may be de ned such that the minimax test for outlier probability qn = p0 vs. qn > p0 has asymptotic error probabilities bounde...

We define and study a new approach to the implementability of timed automata, where the semantics is perturbed by imprecisions and finite frequency of the hardware. In order to circumvent these effects, we introduce parametric shrinking of clock constraints, which corresponds to tightening these. We propose symbolic procedures to decide the existence of (and then compute) parameters under which...

Developed, modern cities throughout the world are facing population declines at an unprecedented scale. Over the last fifty years, 370 cities throughout the world with populations over 100,000 have shrunk by at least 10% (Oswalt and Rieniets 2007). Wide swaths of the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan are projecting double-digit declines in population in the coming decades. Internationally, schola...

Fisheries scientist David Conover, dean and director of the Marine Sciences Research Center at SUNY Stony Brook, is leading the most extensive laboratory study to date on the effects of size-selective harvesting in fish stocks. As described in Scientific American magazine, he and his team mimicked fishing by removing 90 percent of the largest fish from a lab population of Atlantic Siversides (M...

In this paper, we present continuous research on data analysis based on our previous work on the shrinking approach. Shrinking[2] is a novel data preprocessing technique which optimizes the inner structure of data inspired by the Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation[1] in the real world. It can be applied in many data mining fields. Following our previous work on the shrinking method for multi...

Much of optics depends on objects being much larger than the wavelength of light: shadows of opaque objects are sharp only if free of diffraction effects, and ‘cat’s eye’ retroreflectors function only if they are large. Here, we show how to make theoretically arbitrarily small versions of these devices by exploiting the power of a negatively refracting lens to magnify objects that are smaller t...
