Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors, and Sundry Decompositions

We continue with F being an arbitrary field and V a finite dimensional vector space over F ; dimV = n. Conditions on F may be added later on. We assume T ∈ L(V ). Definition 1 We say that an element λ ∈ F is an eigenvalue of T iff there exists x ∈ V , x ̸= 0 such that Tx = λx. We call x ∈ V , x ̸= 0 such that Tx = λx an eigenvector of T , corresponding to the eigenvector λ. If λ is an eigenvector...

Sundry Specialized CELD Microstructures

5.1 Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) Templated Nanowires Due to their small sizes and potential for controllable features, nanowires/tubes represent an attractive option for increasing the surface area of ceria-based anodes. Templated approaches are currently the most flexible routes to fabricating nanowires/tubes, as only a suitable filling method needs be developed for a particular material compos...

Hydropneumothorax verses Simple Pneumothorax

Three cases are presented to compare and contrast the radiographic findings in hydropneumothorax versus simple pleural effusion. The first case is of a 72-year-old man with metastatic colon cancer presenting with worsening shortness of breath. Post-thoracentesis chest radiographs (Fig 1) and CT (Fig 2) demonstrate a hydropneumothorax. The second case is of a 67 year-old male with non-small cell...

Running Head: PREDNISOLONE VERSES DEXAMETHASONE

Sundry experiences in the chemotherapy of leprosy.

Experience with sulfone treatment of leprosy at Uzuakoli, Nigeria, during the last four years has been described by Davey (1), Lowe and Smith (5), Smith (6, 7) and Lowe (3, 4), and further reports are now ready for publication. There are, however, sundry points which have not been mentioned in these publications, or mentioned only in passing, and which may be of interest to leprosy workers. In ...
