1. Adopt the lowest exposure level recommended by the independent NC Science Advisory Board, Option 1 under 2D .1104, which is 33 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m3) for the 24-hour acceptable ambient level, or AAL; 2. Reject the less stringent AALs proposed under Options 2, 3, 4, and 5 for 2D .1104; 3. Reject the exemptions for wastewater treatment systems at pulp and paper mills proposed under ...

In this paper we obtain the blow-up rate for positive solutions of ut = uxx−λu, in (0, 1)×(0, T ) with boundary conditions ux(1, t) = uq(1, t), ux(0, t) = 0. If p < 2q − 1 or p = 2q − 1, 0 < λ < q, we find that the behaviour of u is given by u(1, t) ∼ (T − t) − 1 2(q−1) and, if λ < 0 and p ≥ 2q − 1, the blow up rate is given by u(1, t) ∼ (T − t) − 1 p−1 . We also characterize the blow-up profil...

     Urethralduplication is a rare condition occurs as a congenital malformation either independently or in the setting of other congenital malformations such as caudal duplication syndrome. Its prevalence becomes even rarer if it manifests as two side-by-side tracts in coronal plan.Nonetheless, we introduce a unique presentation of complete coronal urethral duplication accompanied by astoundin...

Two monoclonal antibodies to mouse Ia antigens were produced by fusion of xenoimmune rat spleen cells with the NSI myeloma. These monoclonal antibodies detect polymorphic determinants present on B cells and activated T lymphocytes from mice carrying the H-2b, H-2d, H-2k, H-2r, and H-2q haplotypes but not from mice carrying the H-2s or H-2r haplotypes. Antigenic site number determinations showed...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested a strong genetic component to osteoarthritis (OA), especially that of the hand, and three linkage studies have suggested the existence of susceptibility loci in disparate regions of chromosome 2q. OBJECTIVE To examine for linkage to 2q in a Tasmanian population of women and men with familial hand OA. METHODS Hand OA (distal interphalangeal, carpome...

duplication anomalies are quite common with ureteral duplication anomalies being the most frequent. despite the relatively frequent incidence of a horseshoe kidney and duplication anomalies in any individual patient, the combination of horseshoe kidney and bilateral ureteric duplication is a very rare entity and very few cases have been reported to date. we present a case of a patient with nove...

A severely mentally subnormal child with many physical stigmata was shown to have the karyotype 46,XY,-2,+der(2),t(2;10)(q31;q24)pat. Full evaluation of this patient's karyotype depended on the family studies. It was shown that a balanced translocation t(2,10) was present in 4 normal males in 3 generations.

It is proved that a code L(q) which monomially equivalent to the Pless symmetry C(q) of length $$2q+2$$ contains (0,1)-incidence matrix Hadamard 3- $$(2q+2,q+1,(q-1)/2)$$ design D(q) associated with Paley–Hadamard type II. Similarly, any ternary extended quadratic residue incidence 3-design I. If $$q=5, 11, 17, 23$$ , then full permutation automorphism group coincides D(q), and similar result h...

abstract a 2.5 year old girl is presented with both hands constriction bands leading to distal amputations and the rare deformity of shoulder duplication in the right side accompanying constriction skin marking over the affected shoulder. the cephalomedial scapula articulated with the clavicle and the caudolateral scapula articulated with humeral head. the most important physical finding which ...

We propose a new MUSIC-like method, called 2q-ExSo-MUSIC (q ≥ 1). This method is an extension of the 2q-MUSIC (q ≥ 1) approach for solving the EEG/MEG inverse problem, when spatially-extended neocortical sources ("ExSo") are considered. It introduces a novel ExSo-MUSIC principle. The novelty is two-fold: i) the parameterization of the spatial source distribution that leads to an appropriate met...
