By COMMANDER HAROLD A. LYONS (MC) USN, AND L’r. (JG) J. GRANT HARRISON (MC) USN T HE DEMONSTRATION in 1932. by Paul and Bunnell’ that the blood serum of patients with the sporadic form of infectious mononucleosis contained antibodies against sheep erthrocytes in concentrations far above a normal titer was an important advance in the study and diagnosis of this disease. It gave a good test for t...

We present results from an extensive parallel search for Korobov lattice rules using the LLL-spectral test with a new normalization strategy. The resulting lattice parameters are distributed via a web-server [9] which provides general information on the spectral test, a database for lattice rule parameters, software for spectral test calculations and related applications, efficient on-line para...

to determine the effect of bilateral uterine artery ligation (bual) on mast cell (mc) distribution, 24 mature female rabbits were studied. the rabbits were ovariohysterectomized on day 23, 43 or 63 following bual. histological sections were stained with toluidine blue to determine the mc distribution. in rabbits that had undergone bual, mcs were present extensively in the helium of the treated ...

Mathematical cognition researchers have studied the mental representations of natural numbers, integers, and fractions extensively. We investigated the representations of irrational and perfect square numbers in a laboratory setting. Eighty participants performed (1) a magnitude comparison task (MC) by indicating which of two numbers is greater or lesser, (2) a number line estimation task (NLE)...

This paper considers the detection of a distributed target, which is important in high resolution radars (HRRs). We focus on the practical scenario where only partial observation is available. The key contribution of this work is the proposition of a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector using matrix completion (MC). Firstly, a decision rule is obtained for the hypothesis test model...

An extension of the Monte Carlo Singular System Analysis (MC SSA) is described, based on evaluating and testing regularity of dynamics of the SSA modes against the colored noise null hypothesis, in addition to the test based on variance (eigenvalues). The application of the regularity index, computed from a coarse-grained estimation of mutual information, enhances the test sensitivity and relia...

BACKGROUND Current American Thoracic Society and American Association for Respiratory Care guidelines for the delivery of aerosol agents such as methacholine chloride (MC) for bronchoprovocation testing require the use of pneumatic jet nebulizers that have well-defined droplet size and mass output. A recently developed disposable, breath-actuated nebulizer (AeroEclipse) may offer bronchoprovoca...
