Management of indeterminate temporal expressions is useful in a wide range of applications, from designing and querying temporal databases to knowledge representation and reasoning in artificial intelligence. In this paper, we focus on the representation and management of indeterminate dates, corresponding to a common use of temporal indeterminacy which can be found in (historical) texts writte...

1624 CLINICALCHEMISTRY,Vol. 26, No. 11, 1980 Hospital, the mean urinary excretions (ig/24 h) as measured by this method were 34 for norepinephrine (range 9-84), 4 for epinephrine (range 0-24), and 252 for dopaniine (range 74-540), in good agreement with the results of Moyer et al. (1) for normal and hypertensive subjects. Isolation of the amines with the ionexchange columns takes about an hour;...

Some numerical algorithms for elliptic eigenvalue problems are proposed, analyzed, and numerically tested. The methods combine advantages of the two-grid algorithm (Xu and Zhou in Math Comput 70(233):17–25, 2001), the two-space method (Racheva and Andreev in ComputMethods ApplMath 2:171–185, 2002), the shifted inverse powermethod (Hu and Cheng in Math Comput 80:1287–1301, 2011; Yang and Bi in S...

The principal objective of this thesis is to assess the capabilities of an already established analytical framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of piles driven in highly overconsolidated clays (OCR24). The skin friction mobilized during pile loading to failure depends on the sequence of preceding events, i.e. pile installation and soil consolidation. This research utilizes the...

Little is known about the dynamics of fertility transition in South Africa, though recent studies have begun to shed light on demographic changes in the country. This study presents trends and patterns of fertility observed in a rural South African population. Various demographic and statistical techniques were used to examine fertility patterns in a population of 21,847 women in a rural KwaZul...
