C.2 Exchangeable correlation structure Suppose that, among the coordinates of Yi | μ, τi, σ i , a set of variables is exchangeable in the sense that the correlation matrix C remains unchanged under any permutation of these variables. In this case, the following proposition shows that an optimal D based on the correlation matrix C = V−1/2ΣV−1/2 has equal diagonal elements at the exchangeable coo...

The rate of red blood cell sodium-lithium countertransport is elevated only in a subgroup of patients with essential hypertension. We have therefore compared renal and cardiac function and morphology in two groups of hypertensive patients with high (n = 23) or normal (n = 22) sodium-lithium countertransport (mean +/- SEM: 0.61 +/- 0.10 versus 0.29 +/- 0.07 mmol/l red blood cells.hr). The two gr...

Soil salinization and sodification, caused by inadequate land management, is one of the main threats to semiarid agroecosystems. It essential investigate saline levels under different land-use conditions maintain sustainability agricultural production. The objective this study was diagnose salinity status soil in region Northeast Brazil. samples were collected surface layer (0–5 cm) three condi...

Hyperpolarization turns weak nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) responses into strong signals, so normally impractical measurements are possible. We use parahydrogen to rapidly hyperpolarize appropriate 1H, 13C, 15N, and 31P responses of analytes (such as NH3) and important amines (such as phenylethylamine), amides (such as acetamide, urea, and methacrylamide)...

Let Ω be a Borel subset of SN where S is countable. A measure is called exchangeable on Ω, if it is supported on Ω and is invariant under every Borel automorphism of Ω which permutes at most finitely many coordinates. De-Finetti’s theorem characterizes these measures when Ω = SN. We apply the ergodic theory of equivalence relations to study the case Ω 6= SN, and obtain versions of this theorem ...

1 . The effects on the serum electrolytes of long-term treatment with either mestranol or a placebo were determined in 175 healthy middle-aged oophorectomized women. In forty of these women the packed cell volume (PCV), serum albumin, serum and urinary osmolality, inulin space and total exchangeable sodium (Na,) were also measured. 2. The mean serum sodium and chloride concentrations were signi...

A patient with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone release (SIADH) following head injury and meningitis was studied during treatment with demeclocycline, a drug known to produce a reversible nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. No changes were observed during six days of demeclocycline 1200 mg/24 hr but urine output increased significantly, with the production of a dilute urine, when ...

ABSTRACT- Different soil potassium (K) pools including soluble, exchangeable and non-exchangeable in surface and subsurface soils may be totally used by canola roots at different growth stages under drought conditions. A field experiment was conducted for one growing season (2013-2014) to study K pools changes during growth stages of two rapeseed cultivars under drought. The experiment was arra...

flood water contains high amount of sediment affecting the fertility of the coarse grain alluvial fans and flood plains through increasing nutrients. in this study, the effects of the flood water spreading on the soil nutrients recovery were investigated during 10 years (2004-2014) at the poldasht flood spreading station of west azarbaijan in iran. flooded three upper strips were selected at th...
