THE FLUORIMETRIC METHOD of Weil-Malherbe and Bone (1, 2), with minor modifications, has been applied successfully in this laboratory to the measurement of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the plasma of normal human subjects and rats subjected to traumatic injury. The measurement of these hormones in normal rats has been reported elsewhere (3). This report describes the modifications (resulting...

We introduce a simple one-dimensional sandpile model that undergoes relaxation oscillations. A single model can account for self-organized critical behavior and relaxation oscillations, depending on the manner in which it is driven, mirroring the experimental situation for real sandpiles. The relaxation oscillations are robust with respect to minor modifications of the avalanche rules, includin...

This classification originally produced by the ISPO "Kay" Committee in 1973, has now with minor modifications, become an International Standard (ISO 8548-1: 1989). It is limited to those deficiencies which are failures of formation and describes them on anatomical and radiological bases only. All are divided into transverse and longitudinal, and use simple terms and descriptors.

A divide and conquer algorithm is presented for computing arbitrary multi-dimensional discrete Fourier transforms. In contrast to standard approaches such as the row-column algorithm, this algorithm allows an arbitrary decomposition, based solely on the size of the transform independent of the dimension of the transform. Only minor modifications are required to compute transforms with different...

The technique previously applied to serum can, with minor modifications, be applied to cerebrospinal fluid. Good protein patterns have been obtained and similarities as well as differences have been demonstrated between cerebrospinal fluid and serum. The patterns obtained should prove useful in neurological diagnosis.

The reproductive techniques of potential use to goat breeders have been developed in other species, notably the sheep, and have been applied to goats with only minor modifications necessitated by species differences. The Angora industry, and to a lesser extent the cashmere industry, have lent themselves readily to the relatively widespread use of reproductive techniques because of three major f...
