Lysozyme activity increased in rats bearing the Jensen sarcoma transplantable tumor. The increase was maximal in the kidneys. Lysozyme activity in the lung and intestine was little affected by tumor growth. Removal of the tumor mass by surgery was followed by a rapid return to normal levels of renal lysozyme activity. A decrease also occurred if the tumor spontaneously regressed. Splenectomy pr...

There are two reasons for s tudying the possible role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in relation to rheumato id arthritis (RA). The first is the recent demonstrat ion by Alspaugh and co-workers that EBV infection o f normal peripheral blood lymphocytes induces the development in these cells of a nuclear antigen against which most patients with RA have precipitat ing antibodies (I). The second ...

The road surface inspection is proceeded by a human expert with an image that is generated through a laser imaging system. Although the imaging system can provides a fixed lighting condition, it produces a low contrast image for a white and a yellow road line. In this paper, a new detection method of white road line detection from a low contrast road surface image is proposed. The first. stage ...

The measure of Jensen-Fisher divergence between probability distributions is introduced and its theoretical grounds set up. This quantity, in contrast to the remaining Jensen divergences, is very sensitive to the fluctuations of the probability distributions because it is controlled by the (local) Fisher information, which is a gradient functional of the distribution. So, it is appropriate and ...

A Jensen-Bregman divergence is a distortion measure defined by a Jensen convexity gap induced by a strictly convex functional generator. Jensen-Bregman divergences unify the squared Euclidean and Mahalanobis distances with the celebrated information-theoretic JensenShannon divergence, and can further be skewed to include Bregman divergences in limit cases. We study the geometric properties and ...

In this note we construct Swiss cheeses X such that R(X) is non-regular but such that R(X) has no non-trivial Jensen measures. We also construct a non-regular uniform algebra with compact, metrizable character space such that every point of the character space is a peak point. In [Co] Cole gave a counterexample to the peak point conjecture by constructing a non-trivial uniform algebra A with co...

The Jensen covering lemma says that either L has a club class of indiscernibles, or else, for every uncountable set A of ordinals, there is a set B ∈ L with A ⊆ B and card(B) = card(A). One might hope to extend Jensen’s covering lemma to richer weasels, that is, to inner models of the form L[ ~ E] where ~ E is a coherent sequence of extenders of the kind studied in Mitchell-Steel [MiSt]. The pa...
