A compact, lightweight, and efficient fiber laser lidar system has been developed to measure water vapor profiles in the lower atmosphere of Earth or Mars. The line narrowed laser consist of a Tm:germanate fiber pumped by two 792 nm diode arrays. The fiber laser transmits approximately 0.5 mJ Q- switched pulses at 5 Hz and can be tuned to water vapor lines near 1.94 microm with linewidth of app...

We report on a mother and her two sons who had a direct duplication of chromosome region 8p22-8p23.1 without dysmorphic features and only mild mental retardation. The patients have been studied using G banding, chromosome painting, and FISH using cosmid probes specific for the region 8p23.1-8pter. Comparison of the phenotypes of our patients and ofpublished patients with an inversion duplicatio...

Recent evidence (Kolhouse et aL, N. EngI. J. Med. 299: 785-792, 1978) demonstrates that commercial cobalamin (Vitamin B12) radioassay kits contain nonspecific R-protein bindingagents thatcan give falsely normal results in patients who are actually cobalamin deficient. We tested three kits:with“purified” intrinsic factor as the binder, with intrinsic factor and the nonspecific R-protein sites bl...

Nineteen species of gastro-intestinal nematodes were recovered from 10 Burchell's zebra. These include: Cyathostomum alveatum, C. montgomeryi and C. tetracanthum; Cylicocyclus auriculatus, C. gyalocephaloides, C. insigne and C. triramosus; Cylicodontophorus schürmanni and Cylicodontophorus n.sp., Cylicostephanus bidentatus, C. calicatus and C. minutus; Poteriostomum ratzii, Craterostomum acutic...

We present a multi-agent architecture for playing the game of Risk which is a multi-player game where the players control armies and try to conquer the world through attacking each others territories. Our solution puts an agent in every territory, and let them negotiate about what actions to prioritize in the phases of placing armies, attack, and fortify. The results of a tournament of 13 parti...

Among 792 patients with multiple myeloma treated from 1987 to 2010 and assessed after 18 months, there were 167 patients with complete remission. For those 60 patients treated between 1987-1998 and with long followup, the latest relapse occurred after 11.8 years, so that 13 patients have remained in sustained complete remission for longer than 12 years (range 12-22 years). These results suggest...
