The presence of cor pulmonale at death in relation to other factors such as emphysema, silicosis, and thromboembolism was analysed in a case-control study of 732 South African gold miners. Marked emphysema was the highest risk factor with an odds ratio of 21.32 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 5.02-90.7), then extensive silicosis (OR 4.95, 95% CI 2.92-8.38) and thromboembolic disease (OR 1.92,...

We used population-based hospital discharge data to describe hospitalizations resulting from dog bites in California from 1991 through 1998, when there were 6676 such hospitalizations (average 835 per year; range 732 to 930), and the annual cumulative incidence for all ages was 2.6 per 100 000. Children had more than twice the risk of adults, and Asians had lower rates than Whites. Children age...

Bertsekas, D.P. and D.A. Castailon, Parallel synchronous and asynchronous implementations of the auction algorithm, Parallel Computing 17 (1991) 707-732. In this paper we discuss the parallel implementation of the auction algorithm for the classical assignment problenywe show that the algorithm admits a totally asynchronous implementation and we consider several implementations on a shared memo...
