In this paper, we study the distribution of the number of consecutive pattern matches of the five up-down permutations of length four, 1324, 2314, 2413, 1432, and 3412, in the set of up-down permutations. We show that for any such τ , the generating function for the distribution of the number of consecutive pattern matches of τ in the set of up-down permutations can be expressed in terms of wha...

McCrink (McCrink, Dehaene, & Dehaene-Lambertz (2007). Moving along the number line: Operational momentum in nonsymbolic arithmetic. Perception and Psychophysics, 69(8), 1324-1333) documented an "Operational Momentum" (OM) effect - overestimation of addition and underestimation of subtraction outcomes in non-symbolic (dot pattern) arithmetic. We investigated whether OM also occurs with Arabic nu...

We studied prospectively 1381 patients undergoing extradural anaesthesia for total hip or total knee replacement, to determine if extradural anaesthesia can be performed reliably in patients who have had previous lumbar spine surgery. Fifty-two of the 57 patients (91.2%) who had undergone lumbar spine surgery received a successful extradural anaesthetic, and 1307 of 1324 patients without previo...

An insertion sequence, IS1081, in the genome of Mycobacterium bovis has been identified and sequenced. It is 1324 bp long with 15 bp inverted repeat ends and contains a large ORF. There are six copies of IS1081 in the genome of M. bovis and the element is also present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. IS1081 is not closely related to other DNA elements described in actinomycetes but its putative t...

We study the integration and approximation problems for monotone or convex bounded functions that depend on d variables, where d can be arbitrarily large. We consider the worst case error for algorithms that use finitely many function values. We prove that these problems suffer from the curse of dimensionality. That is, one needs exponentially many (in d) function values to achieve an error ". ...

A photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavity formed in an optically very thick slab can support reasonably high-Q modes for lasing. Experimentally, we demonstrate room-temperature pulsed lasing operation from the PhC dipole mode emitting at 1324 nm, which is fabricated in an InGaAsP slab with thickness (T) of 606 nm. Numerical simulation reveals that when T≥800 nm, over 90% of the laser output power cou...
