Current IP-geolocation mapping schemes [10], [12], [13], [14] primarily take delay-measurement approach, and most of them are based on the assumption of a strong correlation between networking delay and geographical distance between the targeted client and the landmarks. In this paper, however, we investigate a large region of the Internet and find the delaydistance correlation is weak. We call...

zine successfully reduced the incidence of dysphoric reactions it might also antagonise the antiemetic effect of nabilone. The incidences of other side effects were similar in both treatment arms; sedation and dryness of the mouth occurred most commonly and generally were not too troublesome. Indeed, we suspect that with moderately emetogenic cytotoxic regimens5 the occurrence of these side eff...

Lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP) is a proliferative program initiated in response to T cell insufficiency caused by acute or chronic immunodepletion. Studies of lymphopenic mice have demonstrated that the cytokine IL-7 and TCR signaling are critical for LIP. We examined how these two factors impact T cell proliferation following transfer into moderately lymphopenic mice. In this study, w...

Plasma alkylresorcinols (AR) are useful as dietary biomarkers of wheat and rye whole grain (WG) during interventions but need to be validated in free-living populations. This study estimated the medium-term reproducibility and relative validity of plasma AR as biomarkers of WG and cereal fiber intake. Seventy-two Swedish adults kept 3-d weighed food records on 2 occasions 2-3 mo apart. Of these...

Quality improvement research conducted in an effort to obtain and maintain the maximum possible level of patient satisfaction is an on-going process at many hospitals. This study analyzes survey data from 773 patients receiving care at a private Midwestern hospital’s Emergency Room (ER). Multiple regression analysis, optimized by UniODA to maximize predictive accuracy, was used to assess the ex...

BACKGROUND Progressive macular hypomelanosis is a common dermatosis in various continents. Its cause is unknown and proposed treatments have had little effect. OBJECTIVES To determine epidemiological aspects of progressive macular hypomelanosis in patients referred to a phototherapy clinic between 1997 and 2008 and to evaluate therapeutic response to PUVA (psoralen + UVA) photochemotherapy or...
