We present in this paper a detailed study of a new sample of large angular size FR I and FR II radio galaxies and compare the properties of the two classes. As expected, a pure morphology based distinction of FR Is and FR IIs corresponds to a break in total radio power. The radio cores in FR Is are also weaker than in FR IIs, although there is not a well defined break power. We find that asymme...

INTRODUCTION Application of transradial arterial access during coronarography, besides pain, means faster patient mobilization and fewer complications. During those procedures, vascular sheaths and 5/6 Fr catheters, and lately 4 Fr catheters, are used. AIM To assess the usefulness of 4 Fr catheters and sheaths in comparison to 5 Fr in diagnostic coronarography. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the p...

PURPOSE To evaluate the fracture strength and the failure mode of endodontically treated teeth restored with composite resin overlays with and without glass-fiber reinforcement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 extracted molars were divided into four equal groups. In the NFR-NFRC (no foundation restoration, no fiber-reinforced composite) and NFR-FRC (no foundation restoration, fiber-reinfo...

The folate receptor (FR) type alpha is known to be frequently overexpressed in ovarian cancer and is the target for a number of novel experimental cancer therapies. The relative levels of FR expression among specific cell types and its relationship to malignant transformation have not been adequately established because of several inherent limitations of the immunocytochemical approaches used p...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Left double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) sizes are selected using tracheal diameters and left mainstem bronchial diameters (LMBDs) determined from chest radiographs or computed tomography (CT) scans. In Western women, 35-Fr or 37-Fr DLTs are often selected. However, difficulties can be encountered when inserting 32-Fr or 35-Fr DLTs in Japanese women. We investigated succes...

BACKGROUND The influence of size on the effectiveness of nasobiliary catheters has not yet been studied. We compared biliary drainage effectiveness and procedure-related discomfort and adverse events in 5 French (Fr) and 7 Fr nasobiliary catheters. METHODS We prospectively studied 100 patients undergoing endoscopic biliary drainage for obstructive jaundice, who were randomly allocated to a 5 ...

Given a power q of a prime number p and “nice” polynomials f1, . . . , fr ∈ Fq[T, X] with r = 1 if p = 2, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of pairs (a1, a2) ∈ Fq such that f1(T, a1T + a2), . . . , fr(T, a1T + a2) are irreducible in Fq[T ]. In particular that number tends to infinity with q. MR Classification: 12E30 Directory: \Jarden\Diary\BSJ 23 December, 2011 * Alexander von ...
