Two outbreaks of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection occurred in three newborns at each of two hospitals, and two of the infants in each case died of disseminated HSV-1 infection. Restriction endonuclease profiles of HSV-1 DNAs isolated from the three in each instance were essentially identical, indicating that they were epidemiologically related. In the first instance, each of three ...

CIE, Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage – The CIE is an independent, nonprofit organization responsible for the international coordination of lighting-related technical standards, including colorimetry standards. Color-matching functions – Functions of wavelength l that describe the amounts of three fixed primary lights which, when mixed, match a monochromatic light of wavelength l of con...

Exposure of albino rats to incandescent radiant energy for a short period of time in an elevated environmental temperature (39 degrees C) causes degenerative changes in the extraocular muscles. The muscle fibres regenerate and the muscles reorganize if the animals are returned to room lighting and temperature. Extraocular muscles (EOMs) were damaged first near their insertion on the eyeball. Al...

Available output in the Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) may be expressed as radiant power at the beam pivot (SLO exit pupil), in units of microwatts (microW). This power corresponds to dimensions of brightness (like luminance and retinal illuminance) and to a range of related measures (like cd/m2, lm/m2, and the troland value) in both free and Maxwellian views. We demonstrate that the conve...

Both in the light of energy conservation and the expansion of existing networks, wireless networks face the challenge of nodes with heterogeneous transmission power. However, for more realistic models of wireless communication only few algorithmic results are known. In this paper we consider nodes with arbitrary power assignment in the so-called physical or SINR model. Our first result is a bou...

The relationship between the optimal value of word insertion penalty and entropy of the language is discussed, based on the hypothesis that the optimal word insertion penalty compensates the probability given by a language model to the true probability. It is shown that the optimal word insertion penalty can be calculated as the difference between test set entropy of the given language model an...

In this paper, basing our consideration on the sets with the apartness relation, we analyze characteristics of some special relations to these sets such as co-order and co-quasiorder and coequality relations. In addition, we analyze two special classes of subsets, co-filters and co-ideals, of ordered set under a co-quasiorder relation. This investigation is into the Bishop’s Constructive mathem...
