PURPOSE To introduce Hess Lancaster screen test performed with the head tilted as a new ancillary test to help in the diagnosis of bilateral superior oblique (SO) nerve paresis. METHODS Three patients with clinical diagnosis of acquired bilateral fourth nerve paresis, three with clinical diagnosis of acquired unilateral fourth nerve paresis, and three normal subjects were tested with Hess Lan...

Introduction All large software development projects, irrespective of application, generate a large amount of associated documentation. For moderately sized systems, the documentation will probably fill several filing cabinets; for large systems, it may fill several rooms. A high proportion of software process costs is incurred in producing this documentation. Furthermore, documentation errors ...

This paper explores characterizations of Bivariate Binomial distributions of the Lancaster form with Krawtchouk polynomial eigenfunctions which are equivalent to a characterization by Eagleson (1969). Generalized Ehrenfest urns with Binomial stationary distributions have transition functions which are equivalent to the Lancaster distributions. There is a partial extension to d-colour ball Ehren...
