In a recent paper, Soni and Shah [Soni, H., Shah, N. H., 2008. Optimal ordering policy for stock-dependent demand under progressive payment scheme. European Journal of Operational Research 184, 91-100] developed a model to find the optimal ordering policy for a retailer with stock-dependent demand and a supplier that offers a progressive payment scheme to the retailer. This note corrects some e...

lthough the diagnosis and treatment of febrile neutropeia episodes have improved significantly over the past two ecades, sepsis is still a major cause of mortality and morbidty in patients undergoing chemotherapy regimens that cause ntensive myelosuppression.1–4 Even in institutions where arly initiation of antibiotic therapy and advances in suportive measures have significantly reduced the mor...

A68-year-old woman with troublesome palpitations and intolerant of several antiarrhythmics was referred for ablation of frequent ( 25,000 in 24 h) symptomatic premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) with an inferior axis, positive QRS polarity in leads II, III, and aVF, and a domi...

The intrinsic population growth rate (r) of the surplus production function used in the biomass dynamic model and the steepness (h) of the stock-recruitment relationship used in age-structured population dynamics models are two key parameters in fish stock assessment. There is generally insufficient information in the data to estimate these parameters that thus have to be constrained. We develo...

Fibronectin, 0.1% solution Reagent Sigma-Aldrich F-1141 This pre-made solution can be used as 50x stock. Make 1/50 dilution with 1x MBS-H make 20ug/ ml working solution just before you use. You need 200ul per samples of this working solution.I do NOT recommend using solid Fibronectin, because it is difficult to dissolve at 0.1% concentration to make the stock solution. Although it is more expen...

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The Wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest‐tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Emma Lazarus, 1883 This wonderful sonnet captures the spirit of the free immigration era in the 19th century U.S.A. The welfare state idea, still in its embryonic state in Europe, had yet to...

1. What is WDVV. More than two years ago N.Seiberg and E.Witten [1] proposed a new way to deal with the low-energy effective actions of N = 2 four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories, both pure gauge theories (i.e. containing only vector supermultiplet) and those with matter hypermultiplets. Among other things, they have shown that the low-energy effective actions (the end-points of the r...

The effects of stocking density on the performance, egg quality, leukocyte concentration, blood biochemistry, corticosterone levels, bone mineral density, and noxious gas emission of laying hens were investigated. Eight hundred 34-week-old Hy-Line Brown laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus) were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments, each of which was replicated 4 times. Four stocking densi...
