A. Rossi, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract The LHC room temperature sections will be coated with non-evaporable getter (NEG) materials for, among other reasons, their properties of antimultipactor. Laboratory measurements of secondary electron yields (SEY) of TiZrV NEG coatings have shown that after 2 h heat treatment at 160 and 200 C, the maximum SEY decreases from 2 to below 1.4 and 1.1 res...

BACKGROUND Male infertility is affected by several factors. Lead is one of the heavy metals more bioavailable than usually modifies the sperm quality in humans. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish the role of lead in semen quality in environmentally exposed men. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semen and blood samples were obtained from two groups: the exposed group (EG=20) and the non-ex...

2. Three interpretations of negative polar interrogatives • Ladd (1981) distinguishes two varieties of negative polar interrogatives, which are epistemically biased toward the opposite directions. o the “outside NEG” question: conveys a positive bias; “the speaker believes a proposition P and wants confirmation” o the “inside NEG” question: conveys a negative bias; “the speaker has just inferre...

p(pos) = p(User1) ∗ p(pos|User1) + p(User2) ∗ p(pos|User2) + p(User3) ∗ p(pos|User3) = 0.2 ∗ 0.3 + 0.2 ∗ 0.5 + 0.6 ∗ 0.3 = 0.06 + 0.10 + 0.18 = 0.34 p(neut) = p(User1) ∗ p(neut|User1) + p(User2) ∗ p(neut|User2) + p(User3) ∗ p(neut|User3) = 0.2 ∗ 0.4 + 0.2 ∗ 0.5 + 0.6 ∗ 0.3 = 0.08 + 0.10 + 0.18 = 0.36 p(neg) = p(User1) ∗ p(neg|User1) + p(User2) ∗ p(neg|User2) + p(User3) ∗ p(neg|User3) = 0.2 ∗ 0....

In UML, the operator neg is used to specify negative, or unwanted, system behaviour. We agree that being able to specify negative behaviour is important. However, the UML neg is currently not wellsuited for this purpose, the main problem being that a single operator is used with several different meanings depending on the context. In this paper we investigate some alternative definitions of neg...

Patients receiving lidocaine may show false increases of serum creatinine as assayed by the single-slide method on the Kodak Ektachem 700. Bissell et al. (Clin Chem 1987;33:951) suggested that this interference was due to oxidation of N-ethylglycine (NEG), a previously uncharacterized metabolite of lidocaine, by the sarcosine oxidase preparation used in the Ektachem creatinine slide. To investi...
