ANOVULATORY infertility is sometimes associated with an abnormal degree of hirsutism and, very occasionally, with more serious manifestations of virilization. In such cases it is usually possible to demonstrate excessive concentrations of androgenic steroids but these steroids may be derived from either the ovary or the adrenal cortex or from both these sources. This subject has been reviewed r...

We prove a parametric generalization of the classical PoincaréPerron theorem on stabilizing recurrence relations where we assume that the varying coefficients of a recurrence depend on auxiliary parameters and converge uniformly in these parameters to their limiting values. As an application we study convergence of the ratios of families of functions satisfying finite recurrence relations with ...

In this note we give a completely different proof to a functional inequality established by Ismail and Laforgia for the survival function of the gamma distribution and we show that the inequality in the question is in fact the so-called new-is-better-than-used property, which arises in economic theory. Moreover, we extend this result to arbitrary reliability functions and we present a new simpl...

In a recent paper Ismail et al. (Algebraic Methods and q-Special Functions (J.F. van Diejen and L. Vinet, eds.) CRM Proceding and Lecture Notes, Vol. 22, American Mathematical Society, 1999, pp. 183–200) have established a continuous orthogonality relation and some other properties of a 2φ1-Bessel function on a q-quadratic grid. Dick Askey (private communication) suggested that the “Bessel-type...

144 (eds M.C.S. Wopereis et al.) Crop and water management can be improved through efficient irrigation schemes, better infrastructure and hydrological control, and optimal use of fertilizers, which can alleviate some of the effects of abiotic stresses. These measures are effective in reducing yield losses, and most improved varieties are responsive to such measures, consequently stabilizing pr...

The unprecedented growth in mobile data usage is posing significant challenges to cellular operators. One key challenge is how to provide quality of service to subscribers when their residing cell is experiencing a significant amount of traffic, i.e. becoming a traffic hotspot. In this paper, we perform an empirical study on data hotspots in today’s cellular networks using a 9-week cellular dat...

Objective: To identify the frequency of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its sensitivity to various antibiotics in patients of chronic suppurative otitis media. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at the Department of ENT, DHQ Teaching Hospital, Dera Ismail Khan from January 2011 to October 2011. Patients with unilateral or bilateral active chronic suppurative otitis media atte...

Reducing the impact of the siricid wasp, Sirex noctilio is crucial for the future productivity and sustainability of commercial pine resources in South Africa. In this study we present a machine learning model that serves as a spatial guide and allows forest managers to focus their existing detection and monitoring efforts on key areas and proactively adopt the most appropriate course of interv...
