Given a graph G whose adjacency matrix is A, the Motzkin-Strauss formulation of the Maximum-Clique Problem is the quadratic program maxfx T Axjx T e = 1; x 0g. It is well known that the global optimum value of this QP is (1 ? 1=!(G)), where !(G) is the clique number of G. Here, we characterize the following: 1) rst order optimality 2) second order optimality 3) local optimality 4) strict local ...

BACKGROUND The effect of different musical styles on serum cortisol levels, blood pressure, and heart rate is currently unknown. METHODS 60 subjects were randomly assigned to three groups that listened to various compositions by W. A. Mozart, J. Strauss Jr., or ABBA for 25 minutes. Their serum cortisol concentrations, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured before and after the listening...

STUDY OBJECTIVES We previously reported eight patients who developed Churg-Strauss syndrome in association with zafirlukast treatment for asthma and postulated that the syndrome resulted from unmasking of a previously existing condition due to corticosteroid withdrawal and not from a direct drug effect. The availability of montelukast, a new leukotriene receptor antagonist with a different mole...
