Recent Spitzer infrared (IR) observations of two transiting hot Jupiters during their secondary eclipses have provided the first direct detection of planets orbiting other stars (Charbonneau et al. 2005; Deming et al. 2005). We here elaborate on some aspects of our detection of HD209458b at 24 μm, and we compare to the detection of TrES-1 by Charbonneau et al. Spitzer will eventually determine ...

The iterative proportional fitting procedure (IPFP) was introduced formally by Deming and Stephan in 1940. For bivariate densities, this procedure has been investigated by Kullback and Rüschendorf. It is well known that the IPFP is a sequence of successive I-projections onto sets of probability measures with fixed marginals. However, when finding the I-projection onto the intersection of arbitr...

• Since the report of Deming and Lnetscher that patients with congestive heart failure excrete abnormally large amounts of a saltretaining substance in the urine, considerable attention has been focused on the role of aldosterone in congestive heart failure. Although there is a large body of evidence to demonstrate that excessive aldosterone secrelioji plays an important role in the marked Xa r...

We developed an enzymatic method for determination of 5-fluorocytosine in serum, using creatine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21), the Cobas-Bio analyzer, and an extant ammonia method. Analytical recovery (y) of drug added to serum (x) was good, with y = 0.97x-0.7, Sy.x = 3.6, r = 0.997 (n = 65) over the range 6.25 to 150 mg/L. Comparison with an HPLC method (x) showed good agreement: y = 0.98x + 1....

Introduction An increasing focus on quality in the world of business is no longer an option but an absolute requirement in the face of growing competition (Wilkinson et al 1991). Founded over two decades ago by Deming and Juran, the Total Quality Management (TQM) movement has quickly become the most popular program for improving quality. Some say that TQM provides a unique historical approach t...

This paper presents 23 mentors' perceptions of their role in a year-long mentorship program during the period 1999- 2002. The majority of mentors were clinical specialists, had bachelor degrees and over five years clinical experience. The mentorship program was informed by the Deming Cycle of Plan, Do, Check and Act. This quality improvement framework was used to evaluate the mentorship program...

Conducting studies for learning is fundamental to improvement. Deming emphasised that the reason for conducting a study is to provide a basis for action on the system of interest. He classified studies into two types depending on the intended target for action. An enumerative study is one in which action will be taken on the universe that was studied. An analytical study is one in which action ...
