Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing using molecular methods in liquid based cytology (LBC) specimens may be useful as an adjunct to cervical screening by cytology. We compared the positivity rate of the commercially available HPV DNA method hybrid capture 2 (hc2) and the commercially available E6/E7 mRNA method PreTect HPV-Proofer in cytological specimens (n=299). LBC specimens collected (n=299)...

Neutrinos are present in the natural environment and are also produced by particle accelerators. A recent hypothesis has also been proposed that asserts that ionizing radiation due to neutrinos from certain astronomical events may have led to the extinction of some biological species. Thus, it is of interest to be able to estimate the dose equivalent due to these weakly interacting particles. P...

The Borsuk-Ulam theorem is a fundamental result in algebraic topology, with applications to various areas of Mathematics. A classical application of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem is the Ham Sandwich theorem: The volumes of any n compact sets in R can always be simultaneously bisected by an (n− 1)-dimensional hyperplane. In this paper, we demonstrate the equivalence between the Borsuk-Ulam theorem and...

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to break H2-MAC, by using a generalized birthday attack to recover the equivalent key, under the assumption that the underlying hash function is secure (collision resistance). We can successfully recover the equivalent key of H2-MAC in about 2n/2 on-line MAC queries and 2n/2 off-line hash computations with great probability. This attack shows that t...

Let 8 denote the real line. If TQ& and r £ 8 , we set {t+r: / £ J H } = r [ r ] . In [ l ] we have proved these two theorems: (BK) Let S C S , T C 8 , S be at most enumerable and T be of first category. Then 8 contains a residual subset R such that SC\T\r\ is empty for every rÇzR. (BM) Let S C S , 2"C8, S be at most enumerable and T be of measure zero. Then 8 contains a subset R such that 8— Ri...

We find evidence that a certain class of reaction-diffusion (RD) systems can exhibit chemical turbulence equivalent to Nikolaevskii turbulence. We study an extended complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation derived from this class of RD systems. First, we show numerically that the power spectrum of this CGL equation, in the neighborhood of a codimension-two Turing-Benjamin-Feir point, is qualitati...

We prove that, for every theory T which is given by an Lω1,ω sentence, T has less than 2א0 many countable models if and only if we have that, for every X ∈ 2 on a cone of Turing degrees, every X-hyperarithmetic model of T has an X-computable copy. We also find a concrete description, relative to some oracle, of the Turing-degree spectra of all the models of a counterexample to Vaught’s conjecture.

In many practical situations, we would like to compute the set of all possible values that satisfy given constraints. It is known that even for computable (constructive) constraints, computing such set is not always algorithmically possible. One reason for this algorithmic impossibility is that sometimes, the dependence of the desired set on the parameters of the problem is not continuous, whil...

The subject of this study is the most famous and frequently used metarule Sanskrit grammar "Aṣṭādhyāyī" compiled by ancient Indian linguist Pāṇini. This called "bahiraṅgaparibhāṣā" serves to determine correct sequence grammatical operations prescribed in "Aṣṭādhy&...
