Manual of Serological Tests for Syphilis, 1949, supplement No. 22, The Journal of Venereal Diseases Information, United States, Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., will give the information you desire. The antigen has by no means established itself as a reliable reagent during the last 12 years of its existence. The WHO in S.-E. Asia may supply the booklet. The recent interest in the antigen ...

The dynamical behavior of a map on the unit interval has been the subject of much contemporary research. In this paper, we will consider the relation between the continuity of the map cof and cof for some positive integer k, where f is a continuous map from the unit interval to itself, and ?f is a function which takes any element of the unit interval to the set of all subsequential limits o...

We present three new ideas for grid-based path-planning algorithms that improve the search speed and quality of the paths found. First, we introduce a new type of database, the Local Distance Database (LDDB), that contains distances between boundary points of a local neighborhood. Second, an LDDB-based algorithm is introduced, called Block A*, that calculates the optimal path between start and ...

Grids with blocked and unblocked cells are often used to represent terrain in computer games and robotics. However, paths formed by grid edges can be sub-optimal and unrealistic looking, since the possible headings are artificially constrained. We present Theta*, a variant of A*, that propagates information along grid edges without constraining the paths to grid edges. Theta* is simple, fast an...

www.ums.ac.uk The epilepsies are a common, heterogeneous group of disorders linked by a tendency to recurrent seizures in affected individuals and which have no respect for age, gender, race or social status. A seizure is defined as an intermittent, stereotyped, disturbance of consciousness, behaviour, emotion, motor function, or sensation that on clinical grounds is believed to result from cor...

Avoiding a hangover is a great goal to have! Many folks who participate in moderate or higherrisk drinking [2] experience a hangover at some point (though some people can experience a hangover with just one drink). A hangover isn't just one symptom; it's a set of possible symptoms a person may experience after consuming alcohol. With a bit of planning, symptoms of hangovers can be minimized whe...

In this study, the authors contribute insight into the temporal nature of work attitudes, examining how job satisfaction changes across the 1st year of employment for a sample of organizational newcomers. The authors examined factors related to job change (i.e., voluntary turnover, prior job satisfaction) and newcomer experiences (i.e., fulfillment of commitments, extent of socialization) that ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of planning anyangle paths with small numbers of turns on grid maps. We propose a novel heuristic search algorithm called Link* that returns paths containing fewer turns at the cost of slightly longer path lengths. Experimental results demonstrate that Link* can produce paths with fewer turns than other any-angle path planning algorithms while still mainta...
