Further Appraisal of the Adrenalin

-TUNKENSTEIN, Greenblatt, and Solomon in 1948 reported on certain physiological changes which followed electroshock treatment. Since that time, several papers have appeared which have attempted to define the physiological meaning and the prognostic value of blood-pressure curves as they are affected by intravenous neo-epinephrine and intramuscular Mecholyl (methacholine). Funkenstein and his co...

Further Observations on the Use of Adrenalin in Plague

In a previous communication to this journal * the preliminary observations with adrenalin were related. They indicated that adrenalin exerted a distinctly beneficial effect upon the circulation by increasing the pulse tension, remedying its irregularities and steadying and sustaining the action of the heart, until such time as the system was able to eliminate the toxins, and bring about recover...

A Further Note on Runs in Independent Sequences

Given a sequence of letters generated independently from a finite alphabet, we consider the case when more than one, but not all, letters are generated with the highest probability. The length of the longest run of any of these letters is shown to be one greater than the length of the longest run in a particular state of an associated Markov chain. Using results of Foulser and Karlin (19...

A Further Note on Alternatives to Bpref

This paper compares the robustness of information retrieval (IR) metrics to incomplete relevance assessments, using four different sets of graded-relevance test collections with submitted runs – two from TREC and two from NTCIR. We investigate the effect of reducing the original relevance data on discriminative power (i.e., how often statistical significance can be detected given the probabilit...
