BACKGROUND Food allergy is an important public health problem because it affects children and adults, can be severe and even life-threatening, and may be increasing in prevalence. Beginning in 2008, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, working with other organizations and advocacy groups, led the development of the first clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management...

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM WE ADDRESSED Radiology reports provide effective communication about imaging studies or procedures between interpreting radiologists and the referring clinical providers responsible for patient care. The reports also serve to document, in patients’ medical records, the relevant imaging findings and impressions of imaging studies for potential future review. Effective...

Linear algebra is used to demonstrate two important assertions in the main text: (1) that the expectation value of the chi-square statistic χ is equal to the degrees of freedom—the number of data points less the number of fit parameters and (2) the “∆χ = 1” rule—which states that if any fit parameter is offset one standard deviation from its best-fit value, the minimum χ (with that parameter fi...

We study the system of a particle bearing the isospindegrees of freedom interacting with an SU(2) ‘t Hooft-‘Polyakov monopole. We show that its equation of motion can be cast into the form of Nambu’s generalized mechanics. (Submitted to Phys.
