The distribution of numbers in human documents is determined by a variety of diverse natural and human factors, whose relative significance can be evaluated by studying the numbers’ frequency of occurrence. Although it has been studied since the 1880’s, this subject remains poorly understood. Here, we obtain the detailed statistics of numbers in the World Wide Web, finding that their distributi...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the association between cigarette smoking and asthma severity. We assessed smoking as a determinant of disease severity and control in a cohort of clinic-referred allergic subjects who developed new onset asthma. METHODS Allergic rhinitis subjects with no asthma (n = 371) were followed-up for 10 years and routinely examined for asthma diagnosis. In those who d...

BACKGROUND Asthma and rhinitis are often comorbid conditions, and several studies have suggested that rhinitis often precedes asthma. Sensitization to allergen has been shown to be one of the strongest determinants of incident asthma, but little is known about the effects of cigarette smoking among individuals with allergic rhinitis. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the importance of cigarette...

The typical values of R = quantum energy/potential amplitude in electron energy of an incident radiation treated in quantum electrodynamics, an electric wiggler, and a magnetic wiggler are 108, 10–4 and 10–10, respectively. Therefore, the interaction of a free electron with these fields cannot be described with the same principle. The wave-function phase of the final state through a transition ...

We treated ten men and ten women suffering from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with LHRH. Our method of treatment differed 'from others in that a mini pump was not available at the onset of the study. Nine women were given injections via a heparinized indwelling catheter every 120 minutes for 14 days, i,e. the proliferative phase. After ovulation, 3000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) ...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the effects of smoking, gender and occupational exposure on the risk of developing severe pulmonary fibrosis (PF), including dose-response and interaction effects. METHODS National case-control study of 171 patients (cases) who had started a long-term oxygen therapy for PF in Sweden between February 1997 and April 2000, and 719 random control participants from the gener...
