Kochukhov: The Doppler imaging problem is intrinsically ill-conditioned. It is not correct to characterize this problem by the number of unknowns. We are using regularization, and regularization effectively introduces a set of additional equations which smoothes the map in our case; in the case of the maximum entropy method, it selects an image with maximum entropy. So actually if I count equat...

Background: Bacterial meningitis remains a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in childhood. During the last decades gradual changes have been observed in the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis, related to the introduction of new polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines. The study presents an overview of the epidemiological patterns of acute bacterial meningitis in a tertiary children ...

List-strength effect: I. Data and discussion.

Extra items added to a list cause memory for the other items to decrease (the list-length effect). In one of the present studies we show that strengthening (or weakening) some items on a list harms (helps) free recall of the remaining list items. This is termed the list-strength effect. However, in seven recognition studies the list-strength effect was either absent or negative. This held wheth...
