The eigenvalue bounds obtained earlier [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 31 (1998) 963] for smooth transformations of the form V (x) = g(x) + f( 1 x2 ) are extended to N dimensions. In particular a simple formula is derived which bounds the eigenvalues for the spiked harmonic oscillator potential V (x) = x+ λ x , α > 0, λ > 0, and is valid for all discrete eigenvalues, arbitrary angular momentum l and sp...

Applicability of Rutter-B Scale for completion by teachers was assessed on a representative sample of 963 school children between the ages of 4-11 yrs. The findings revealed that at the recommended cut-off score of 9, the scale has low sensitivity (51.8%) and very low specificity (34.1%). Concordance between assessment by Rutter-B Scale and clinical assessment to pick up psychiatric disorder wa...

2014 X-ray transmission topographies made during thermal cycles from the paraelectric phase to the lock-in transition temperature on [N(CD3)4]2ZnCl4 crystals of very good crystalline quality have shown (i) a precipitation of defects near the lock-in transition and (ii) pseudo-periodic contrasts which disappear in the paraelectric phase.

This article discusses the asymptotic behavior of likelihood ratio tests for nonzero variance components in the longitudinal mixed effects linear model described by Laird and Ware (1982, Biometrics 38, 963-974). Our discussion of the large-sample behavior of likelihood ratio tests for nonzero variance components is based on the results for nonstandard testing situations by Self and Liang (1987,...

In 1 957 lepromatous patients were selected for a trial of diphenylthiourea (DPT or Ciba 1 906) and its effects were compared with the results obtained with diamino-diphenyl-sulphone (DDS) . The results were analysed at the end of two years when the project was stopped and all cases were placed on DDS. The subsequent history of the cases were investigated after six years ( i .e . in 1 963) . Th...
