down by Ridley and Jopling. There was male preponderance in the study with majority of patients (35.7%) in the age goup of 21-30 years. The overall concordance between the clinical and histopathological diagnosis was 57.3%. Maximum concordance was seen in the polar ends of the spectrum with 76.9% in LL and 75.0% in TT. The concordance rate was lower in the borderline groups with 57.3% in BT, 40...

We utilized recombinant fibronectin polypeptides with cell-binding domain and heparin-binding domains (referred to as C-274 and H-271, respectively) and their fusion polypeptide (CH-271) to examine the role of sulfated polysaccharide heparin and/or the functional domains of fibronectin in modulating tumor cell behavior. Both C-274 and CH-271 polypeptides with cell-binding domains promoted the a...

BACKGROUND The extended Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement for Abstracts was developed to improve the quality of reports of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) because readers often base their assessment of a trial solely on the abstract. To date, few data exist regarding whether it has achieved this goal. We evaluated the extent of adherence to the CONSORT for Abstr...

A somewhat limited design procedure for elastic-perfectly plastic structures was developed previously []]**. It is extended here to provide upper and lower bounds on the minimum weight of three dimensional structures and is specialized to safe one and two dimensional structures in which either direct stresses or bending stresses are negligible. The generalization also includes the influence of ...

A spectrophotometric method for determining cyanogenic glucosides (CGs) was validated in accordance with IUPAC and ICH requirements for new methods. The method demonstrates good linearity in the range of 0.1-0.88 μgg hydrocyanic acid (HCN). The accuracy of the method ranges between 95.2% and 96.4%. The precision of the method, reflected as the relative standard deviation of the replicates, is l...

Received: 9 February 2006 / Accepted: 3 May 2006 / Published: 4 May , 2006 __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The present paper is concerned with an analytical study of entropy generation in viscous, incompressible Couette flow between a stationary plate and a moving plate. The flow induced by the moving plate is assisted by a constant p...

So far we have talked about the expectation of random variables, and moved on to the variance or the second moment. However, neither of these methods is strong enough to produce the tight bounds needed for some applications. We have already stated that if all you are given is the variance of a r.v., then Chebyshev’s Inequality is essentially the best you can do. Thus, more information is needed...
