Background: Several studies have identified the radial nerve in arm using different anatomic landmarks, however, acontroversy remains. Deltoid tuberosity (DT) and brachioradialis (BR) are reproducible landmarks that can be used toidentify the radial nerve (RN) during fracture surgery.Methods: Dissection of RN was carried out in 17 fresh frozen adult cadavers. Using a calibrate...

Let B H t be a d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H ∈ (0, 1). Assume d ≥ 2. We prove that the renor-malized self-intersection local time ℓ = T 0 t 0 δ(B H t − B H s) ds dt − E T 0 t 0 δ(B H t − B H s) ds dt exists in L 2 if and only if H < 3/(2d), which generalizes the Varadhan renormalization theorem to any dimension and with any Hurst parameter. Motivated by a resul...

Two DNA polymerases were detected in Tetrahymena pyriformis, strain GL. One (enzyme I) was sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide, while the other (enzyme II) was insensitive. The molecular weight of the enzymes, as determined by glycerol gradient centrifugation analysis, were approximately 130,000 and 70,000, respectively. Optimal concentration of MgCl2 was 10mM for enzyme I and 18mM for enzyme II. KCl...

Let D be a nonnegative integer and Θ ⊂ S1 be a lacunary set of directions of order D. We show that the Lp norms, 1 < p < ∞, of the maximal directional Hilbert transform in the plane HΘ f (x ) B sup v ∈Θ p.v. ∫ R f (x + tv ) dt t , x ∈ R 2, are comparable to (log #Θ) 2 . For vector elds vD with range in a lacunary set of of order D and generated using suitable combinations of truncations of Lips...

Abstract In this paper, we present an innovative factor analysis algorithm for hydrocarbon exploration to estimate the intrinsic permeability of reservoir rocks from well logs. Unlike conventional evaluation methods that employ a single or limited number data types, process simultaneously all available derive first statistical and relate it by regression analysis. For solving problem analysis, ...

In this paper we investigate the (collective) tree spanners problem in homogeneously orderable graphs. This class of graphs was introduced by A. Brandstädt et al. to generalize the dually chordal graphs and the distance-hereditary graphs and to show that the Steiner tree problem can still be solved in polynomial time on this more general class of graphs. In this paper, we demonstrate that every...

Using a method recently developed at our laboratory, we determined the initial rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa replication in the lung under different experimental conditions. Mice were exposed to aerosols containing mixtures of a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of P. aeruginosa and its parental wild type (wt). The changes in the ratio of ts:wt were determined by quantitatively culturing homog...
