An incidence of a left superior vena cava with a left azygos vein was found in a cadaver during an Osaka Dental University student's dissection practice session in 2002. The left superior vena cava began from the confluence between the right and left brachiocephalic veins, and extended directly into the left superior edge of the coronary sinus. No right superior vena cava was observed. The left...

It is well known that a cardinal B-spline of order m,m ∈ N, is a piecewise polynomial function. In this note we propose an effective method for calculating the coefficients of polynomials which constitute a cardinal B-spline. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The articles [11], [7], [14], [13], [15], [5], [6], [2], [12], [1], [10], [8], [9], [3], and [4] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. For simplicity, we adopt the following rules: A, B denote ordinal numbers, K, M, N denote cardinal numbers, x, y, z, X , Y , Z, Z1, Z2 denote sets, n denotes a natural number, and f , g denote functions. Let I1 be a function. We say that I1 is car...

We study the general problem of behaviour continuum function in presence non-supercompact strongly compact cardinals. begin by showing that it is possible to force violations GCH at an arbitrary cardinal using only strong compactness as our initial assumption. This result due third author. then investigate realising Easton functions and above least measurable limit supercompact cardinals starti...

The identification of three independent cardinal directions in color space suggests the existence of three independent post-receptoral mechanisms that can be desensitized by habituation to a temporally modulated light. In this paper, the differential response of each cardinal mechanism is estimated over a range of inputs before and after habituation. Simple mathematical considerations show that...

the aim of this study was to evaluate germination of different sesame genotypes on response to temperature. heat and cold tolerance indexes were determined using cardinal temperatures and evaluations of genotypes were conducted to tolerate high or low temperatures using determined indexes. in order to, germination tests were conducted in fixed temperatures incubators with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

In the context of large cardinals, the classical diamond principle 3κ is easily strengthened in natural ways. When κ is a measurable cardinal, for example, one might ask that a 3κ sequence anticipate every subset of κ not merely on a stationary set, but on a set of normal measure one. This is equivalent to the existence of a function ` ... κ → Vκ such that for any A ∈ H(κ) there is an embedding...

Inflammare, or to set ablaze, is the Latin origin of the word inflammation, a physical condition that was undoubtedly already familiar to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. It is, however, the Roman Aulus Celsus who is credited with describing, in the first century AD, the four cardinal signs of inflammation consisting of rubor et tumor cum calore et dolore (redness and swelling with heat and pa...

We present a new algorithm for numerically computing quadrature formulas for arbi-trary domains which exactly integrate a given polynomial space. An effective method for constructingquadrature formulas has been to numerically solve a nonlinear set of equations for the quadraturepoints and their associated weights. Symmetry conditions are often used to reduce the number ofequatio...

Suppose is a positive number. Basic theory of cardinal interpolation ensures the existence of the Gaussian cardinal function L (x) = P k2Z c k exp(?(x ? k) 2), x 2 R, satisfying the interpolatory conditions L (k) = 0k , k 2 Z. One objective of this paper is to derive several additional properties of L. For example, it is shown that L possesses the sign-regularity property sgnnL (x)] = sgnnsin(x...
