This study uses industrial pollution data from the Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and tract-level demographic data from the 2000 U.S. census to determine whether environmental racial inequality existed in the Detroit metropolitan area in the year 2000. This study differs from prior environmental inequality research in two important ways. First, it offers a posi...

An SN2 reaction (NaI) of 1,7-di(methanesulfoxyl)heptadien-4-yl methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetate and a tributyltin hydride reduction of 1,7-diiodo-4-yl methoxy-(2-naphthyl)acetate (2NMA) is crucial for determination of the absolute configuration of secondary alcohols.

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to develop an education program for physical therapy assistants in order to provide high quality physical therapy for the province of Quang Tri in Vietnam. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects consisted of 9 professors in Quang Tri medical college and 1 physical therapist in Quang Tri General hospital. The survey research to lecturer for education of ph...

Glial-restricted precursor (GRP) cells, the earliest glial progenitors for both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, have been derived from embryos and embryonic stem cells (ESC) in rodents. However, knowledge regarding the equivalent cell type in primates is limited due to restrictions imposed by ethics and resources. Here we report successful derivation and characterization of primate GRP cells f...

—In this paper, we generalize the iterative algorithms proposed by Khandaker to amplify-and-forward multiuser Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) relay communication systems with the source-destination links. Compared with the conventional algorithms, where the source-destination links are ignored, the evolved Tri-Step method and Bi-Step method are derived for the new system model with the s...

using fixed pointmethods, we investigate approximately higher ternary jordan derivations in banach ternaty algebras via the cauchy functional equation$$f(lambda_{1}x+lambda_{2}y+lambda_3z)=lambda_1f(x)+lambda_2f(y)+lambda_3f(z)~.$$

The basic Schema Theorem for genetic algorithms is modiied for a grammatically-based learning system. A context-free grammar is used to deene a language in which each sentence is mapped to a tness value. The derivation trees associated with these sentences are used to deene the structure of schemata. The eeect of crossover and mutation on schemata is described. A schema theorem is developed whi...
