purpose sudden death of a competitive athlete is a tragedy that is usually caused by a previously unsuspected cardiovascular disease. the aim of this study was to clarify the role of noninvasive testing in pre-participation cardiovascular evaluation of elderly wrestlers. methods we included 63 iranian elderly wrestlers who participated in tehran international elderly wrestlers’ preparation camp...

Truly global radiology would exist if patients could visit any European physician without their CDs or films. It would be possible for patients to go to a hospital or a clinic in any European country and have their examinations done in a different country, analyzed and eventually compared with the examination done at that hospital. This paper analyzes two national projects that should be docume...

so ‖f‖p ≤ ‖f‖q · μ(X) 1 p − 1 q . Hence if f is in Lq, the left-hand side is finite hence so is the right-hand side, so f is in Lp. Also, the inequality shows that if ‖f‖p is small then ‖f‖q is also small, hence the inclusion Lq ↪→ Lp is continuous 2. Let X ⊂ Pn be an irreducible projective variety of dimension k, G(`, n) the Grassmannian of `-planes in Pn for some ` < n− k, and C(X) ⊂ G(`, n) ...

What empirical evidence is there that adding syntactic constraints to MT decoding in particular, PMT decoding will lead to improvements in translation quality? Your proposal claims that your method for adding syntactic constraints will result not only in a more complete search of the space of string permutations involved in PMT but also in an improved ability to discriminate between good and ba...

THIS is one of the best cancer textbooks available today. The 800 pages cover much of the pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of malignant disease. The book is a multi-author work and many of the contributions are excellent. Inevitably, however, the presentation is uneven. Moreover, events have overtaken some of the chapters. For instance, the discussion on breast cancer contains scan...

This is a closed-book exam. You should have no material on your desk other than the exam itself and a pencil or pen. If you run out of room on a page, you may use the back, but be sure to indicate you have done so. You may also make annotations directly on any diagrams given.

Solution: By the adjunction formula, the canonical divisor class is KC = OC(d− 3), that is, plane curves of degree d− 3 cut out canonical divisors on C. It follows that if d ≥ 4 then any two points p, q ∈ C impose independent conditions on the canonical series |KC |; that is, h(KC(−p − q)) = g − 2, so by Riemann-Roch h(OC(p+ q)) = 1, i.e., C is not hyperelliptic. Similarly, if d ≥ 5 then any th...

Solution: Since V is locally trivializable and M is compact, one can find a finite open cover Ui, i = 1, . . . , n, of M and trivializations Ti : V |Ui → Rk. Thus, each Ti is a smooth map which restricts to a linear isomorphism on each fiber of V |Ui . Next, choose a smooth partition of unity {fi}i=1,...,n subordinate to the cover {Ui}i=1,...,n. If p : V → M is the projection to the base, then ...
