The unsaturated fractured volcanic deposits at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, USA, have been intensively investigated as a possible repository site for storing highlevel radioactive waste. Field studies at the site have revealed that there exist large variabilities in hydrological parameters over the spatial domain of the mountain. Systematic analyses of hydrological parameters using a site-scale th...

to the final endpoint was not observed for the antimicrobial agents Actinomyces species and Propionibacterium propionicus are tested in this study. well-known causes of actinomycosis. Because histological examiBecause of differences in the experimental conditions, the nation plays a pivotal role in the recognition of actinomycosis, NCCLS (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards) is...

Characterizations of Nash equilibrium, correlated equilibrium, and rationalizability in terms of common knowledge of rationality are well known [Aumann 1987; Brandenburger and Dekel 1987]. We show how to get analogous characterizations of sequential equilibrium and (trembling hand) perfect equilibrium, as a consequence of recent results of Halpern [2009]. Arguably the major goal of epistemic ga...

A hypercoagulable state and its consequent increased incidence of thromboembolic complications are reported in patients with Cushing’s syndrome (CS). These alterations are related to cortisol excess that induces prothrombotic changes in blood by several and complex mechanisms including increased levels of clotting factors, mainly factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (VWF) and impaired fibrinol...

The development of digital global databases containing data such as elevation and soil can greatly simplify and aid in the classification of remotely sensed data to create land-use classes. An efficient method that can simultaneously handle diverse input dimensions can be formed by merging fuzzy logic and neural networks. The so-called granular or fuzzy neural networks are able not only to achi...

More and more academic research libraries are applying organizational development (OD) concepts in their organizations. The outcomes of focusing on and utilizing this management approach are described, including how OD has made significant differences in these libraries. To assess the current state of OD in academic research libraries, interviews were conducted in July–August 2003 with twelve i...
