The web-based, Java-written SOCR (Statistical Online Computational Resource) tools have been utilized in many undergraduate and graduate level statistics courses for seven years now (Dinov 2006; Dinov et al. 2008b). It has been proven that these resources can successfully improve students' learning (Dinov et al. 2008b). Being first published online in 2005, SOCR Analyses is a somewhat new compo...

Given a mathematical model quantifying the viral infection of pandemic influenza H1N1pdm09-H275 wild type (WT) and H1N1pdm09-H275Y mutant (MUT) strains, we describe a simple method of estimating the model’s constant parameters using Monte Carlo methods. Monte Carlo parameter estimation methods present certain advantages over the bootstrapping methods previously used in such studies: the result ...

Walraven photometry of established and probable members of the Orion OB1 association is presented. Effective temperature, surface gravity, luminosity and mass are derived for all stars, using atmosphere models by Kurucz (1979). Absolute magnitudes are calculated using the Straižys and Kuriliene (1981) tables. Distance mod-uli and visual extinctions are determined. A comparison of the visual ext...

Ž w Molt-4 T-lymphoblastoid cells have been exposed to pulsed signals at cellular telephone frequencies of 813.5625 MHz iDEN . Ž . Ž y1 w signal and 836.55 MHz TDMA signal . These studies were performed at low SAR averages2.4 and 24 mW g for iDEN and 2.6 y1 . and 26 mW g for TDMA in studies designed to look for athermal RF effects. The alkaline comet, or single cell gel electrophoresis, Ž . ass...

The aim was to determine the predictive role of combined screening for late-onset gestational hypertension by fetal ultrasound measurements, third trimester uterine arteries (UtAs) Doppler imaging, and maternal history. This prospective study on singleton pregnancies was conducted at the tertiary center of Maternal and Fetal Medicine of the University of Padua during the period between January ...
