The paper concerns three tests for multivariate normality based on the Shapiro-Wilk W statistic for the principal components of a covariance matrix. Two of them were proposed by Srivastava and Hui (1987), the third was introduced by Hanusz and Tarasińska (2008b). The type I errors of these tests at significance levels 0.1, 0.05 and 0.01 are evaluated both for the sample and residuals in the two...

Objective(s): To investigate the effect of miR-103 on the angiogenesis of ischemic stroke rats via targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at the molecular level. Materials and Methods: Rat models had received the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or sham operation before grouping, and cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) were performed. FITC-dextran, matrigel, and ...

The following text discusses the Department's proposed rollback methodology, as amended in its Preliminary Prayer (the Department's Prayer), and outlines the ways in which it is seriously flawed.

Many different techniques have been used to study the effects of antibiotics on staphylococci in biofilms. Methods can be divided broadly into two groups, static and dynamic. In the former, biofilms are formed on various biomaterials that may be encountered in medical practice (stainless steel, polymethylmethacrylate, polyethylene, segments of catheters made from Teflon, polyurethane or polyvin...

We present medium resolution spectropolarimetry and long-term photo-polarimetry of two massive post-red supergiants, IRC +10 420 and HD 179 821. The data provide new information on their circumstellar material as well as their evolution. In IRC +10 420, the polarization of the Hα line is different to that of the continuum, which indicates that the electron-scattering region is not spherically s...
