1315 be generally advocated, however, it would be necessary to study larger groups of patients and controls to determine the sensitivity and specificity ofthe test. Ironically, the diagnostic ( ‘gold”) standard against which the test results would be weighed would be clinical evaluation with reproduction of symptoms with hyperventilation. In the final analysis, therefore, I believe that the dia...

We examine the feasibility of a parity nonconserving (PNC) optical rotation experiment for the P3/2 → P1/2 transition of atomic iodine at 1315 nm. The calculated E1PNC to M1 amplitude ratio is R = 0.80(16) × 10−8. We show that very large PNC rotations (greater than 10 μrad) are obtained for iodine-atom column densities of ∼1022 cm−2, which can be produced by increasing the effective interaction...

The MultiTag method (Sunyaev et al., Anal. Chem. 2003 15, 1307-1315) employs multiple error-tolerant searches with peptide sequence tags (Mann and Wilm, Anal. Chem. 1994, 66, 4390-4399) for the identification of proteins from organisms with unsequenced genomes. Here we demonstrate that the error-tolerant capabilities of MultiTag increased the number of peptide alignments and improved the confid...

We study a random resistors network model on a euclidean geometry Z. We formulate the model in terms of a variational principle and show that, under appropriate boundary conditions, the thermodynamic limit of the dissipation per unit volume is finite almost surely and in the mean. Moreover, we show that for a particular thermodynamic limit the result is also independent of the boundary conditio...

The chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) is the only chemical laser based on the electronic transitions. It emits at 1315 nm on the transition between the spin-orbit levels of the ground state configuration of the iodine atom. Here near resonant energy transfer takes place from a singlet delta oxygen [O 2 (a 1 Δ)] molecule to an atomic iodine atom. The singlet delta oxygen molecules O 2 (a 1 Δ) ...

Decentralised multi-agent systems have empowered individual agents to actively select their course of action to achieve their goals. However, this leaves agents with a limited view of their environment, limiting awareness mainly to their interaction partners. We believe that through interactions and recommendation exchange, agents can build a network of their environment and expand their local ...

Abstract Background Tetracycline (TC) is not recommended for pediatric use due to the risk of permanent teeth discoloration and enamel dysplasia. We aimed assess incidence dental abnormality in Korean children investigate whether was greater tetracycline-exposed compared general population. Methods This nationwide, population-based study using Health Insurance Review Assessment service database...
