Sequences with the property of perfect periodic autocorrelation are used in various fields such as communication and radar systems. Various methods were introduced to construct such sequences. Most of these methods concentrated on binary or N-phase sequences. In this paper two methods to construct general phase sequences are introduced. The methods are based upon the properties of the Fourier t...

s: SAG~ (Sentence Analysis and GEneration system) is an operational parsing and generating system. It is used as a Natural Language Frontend for Esprit project Eeteam-316, whose purpose is to advise a novice user through a cooperative dialogue. The aim of our system is to validate the use of a Lexice)n-Grammar (drawn from the LADL studies) ior sentence-parsing and generation, and to imple~ ~aen...

Vascular aging is associated with structural and functional modifications of the arteries, and by an increase in arterial wall thickening in the intima and the media, mainly resulting from structural modifications of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Among the factors known to accumulate with aging, advanced lipid peroxidation end products (ALEs) are a hallmark of oxidative stress-asso...

We use an extended Barro-Becker model of endogenous fertility, in which parents are heterogeneous in their labor productivity, to study the efficient degree of consumption inequality in the long run when parents productivity is private information. We show that a feature of the informationally constrained optimal insurance contract is that there is a stationary distribution over per capita cont...

The Stanford Linear Collider was designed to operate with round beams [ 11; horizontal and vertical emittance made equal hi the damping rings. The main motivation was to facilitate the optical matching through beam lines with strong coupling elements like the solenoid spin rotator magnets and the SLC ales. Tests in 1992 showed that ‘flat’ beams with a vertical to horizontal emittance ratio of a...

Aging is a universal process that causes deterioration in biological functions of an organism over its lifetime. There are many risk factors that are thought to contribute to aging rate, with disruption of metabolic homeostasis being one of the main factors that accelerates aging. Previously, we identified a new function for the putative G-protein-coupled receptor, Bride of sevenless (BOSS), in...

CASE REPORTS Case I A 51-year-old man was admitted because of dyspnea, thoracic pain, dry cough, and weight loss of 1 month duration. He had been holding parakeets for 40 years, Physical examination revealed dorsobasal pulmonary r-ales, palpable purpura on the legs, and swelling of both knees and the right ankle. Besides an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 80 mm/h, standard laboratory te...
