Event processing (EP) is widely used for reacting on events in the very moment when they occur. Events that require immediate reactions can be found in various applications, e.g. algorithmic trading, business process monitoring and sensorbased human-computer interaction. For the support of EP in an application, a specialpurpose EP system with its own API and query language has to be used. Typic...

Cerebellar hemangioblastoma is a rare cause of secondary erythrocytosis. Although the erythrocytosis is a result of erythropoietin (Ep) stimulation, direct evidence of Ep synthesis by the tumor has been lacking. In an erythrocytotic patient with a cerebellar hemangioblastoma we found elevated levels of Ep in the tumor cyst fluid and for the first time demonstrated Ep mRNA in the tumor by Northe...

Kuslmer et r:r.Z [9], [10] have posed the problem of characterising the "EP" ftulction f(S) for which E(f(S)) = A fer), whenever the m x mmatrix S has the Wishart distribution n W(m,n,L). In this article, we obtain integral representations for all non-negative EP ftmctions. It is also shown that any botulded EP ftulction is harmonic, and that EP polynomials may be used to approximate the flmcti...

This paper reports on two discrimination experiments involving Portuguese data. The findings support the prosodic contrast between EP and BP and stress the role played by intonation in this contrast. They also show that the perceptual distance between EP and BP is smaller than that between EP and Dutch. The robust distinction between EP and Dutch provides evidence for different perceptual weigh...

OBJECTIVE Anecdotal reports have suggested mood improvement in patients with bipolar disorder immediately after they underwent an echo-planar magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (EP-MRSI) procedure that can be performed within clinical MR system limits. This study evaluated possible mood improvement associated with this procedure. METHOD The mood states of subjects in an ongoing EP-MRSI ...

This study investigated the effects of different planes of nutrition in early pregnancy (EP) and mid-pregnancy (MP) of crossbred ewes on carcass characteristics of male offspring and reproductive performance of female offspring. During EP (d 1 to 39 after synchronized mating) ewes were allocated 60% (low, L-EP), 100% (medium, M-EP), or 200% (high, H-EP) of their energy requirements for maintena...

High and lower affinity receptors for erythropoietin (EP) were initially identified on a very pure population of EP-responsive erythroblasts obtained from the spleens of mice infected with anemia strain of Friend virus (FVA). The structure of the receptor for EP in these cells was determined to be proteins of 100 and 85 Kd by cross-linking 125I-EP. In this investigation, studies on the receptor...
