The experience of vaginal tubectomy in 5214 cases over a period of 6 years is presented. Complications and failure rates following vaginal tubectomy were minimal. The main advantages over abdominal tubectomy were a relatively short operation (under local anaesthesia and analgesia) no hos. pitalization, minimal post operative complications and discomforts with no abdominal scars (JPMA 35 301, 19...

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...

In 1925, Holt, La Mer, and Chown (1) reported that the apparent solubility product [Ca++13[P04=J2 was greater in a solution of inorganic salts approximating the composition of serum than it was in solutions of sodium chloride of the same ionic strength. Very shortly thereafter, Sendroy and Hastings (2) recalculated values for pK’, Ca,(PO& from the data of Holt, La Mer, and Chown and also report...

Economic growth has a direct link with the volume of cargo at port terminals. To encourage growth, investment decisions on infrastructure are required that can be performed by development econometric models. We compare three time-series models and one machine-learning model to estimate forecast volume. apply an ARIMA+GARCH+Bootstrap, multiplicative Holt-Winters, support vector regression model,...

A general harvesting model is presented that allows the dynamics of the population to be divided into two distinct phases, viz, the harvesting-season dynamics, modeled by an n-dimensional system of ordinary nonlinear differential equations, and the spawning season, modeled by n difference equations. A maximum principle for this type of system is presented. The concept of “maximum sustainable yi...

We consider a birth-pulses single-species model with restricted toxin input and pulse harvesting in a polluted environment. Pollution accumulates as a slowly decaying stock and is assumed to affect the growth of the renewable resource population. Firstly, by using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain an exact 1-period solution of system whose birth functio...

In this paper we show a Clauser-Horne (CH) inequality for two three-level quantum systems or qutrits, alternative to the CH inequality given by Kaszlikowski et al. [Phys. Rev. A 65, 032118 (2002)]. In contrast to this latter CH inequality, the new one is shown to be equivalent to the ClauserHorne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality for two qutrits given by Collins et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 040404...
