DNA microarray technology is a new and powerful tool for studying a genome-wide gene expression in many organisms. This technology is a high throughput, highly parallel RNA expression assay technique that permits quantitative analysis of RNAs transcribed from both known and unknown genes. This review describes array manufacturing, experimental design, and its application to gene discovery and e...

OBJECTIVE The International Classification of Primary Care was developed as an attempt to overcome the limitations of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision, when used for primary health care. The aim of the study was to evaluate the interobserver reliability of the International Classification for Primary Care when coding reasons for...

We study the Iwasawa theory of a CM elliptic curve E in the anticyclotomic Zpextension D∞ of the CM field K, where p is a prime of good, supersingular reduction for E. Our main result yields an asymptotic formula for the corank of the p-primary Selmer group of E along the extension D∞/K.

As is well known, dead-zone nonlinearity often exists in practical actuators and unknown actuator failures may occur during system operation. However, available results based on adaptive approaches to compensate unknown failures of such actuators are still very limited. In this paper, we address such a problem by considering a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with dead-zone hysteresis nonli...

This book is the product of a working party, set up by the Church Information Nice. It sets out the ways in which needs of the mentally handicapped child and s Parents may be met, gives clear and practical advice on the religious training these children, and shows how they and their families can be incorporated in the "fistian fellowship of their community and parish. Particularly valuable is t...
