Of the remaining 224 publications, 30 were excluded as they were published in a language other than English, ten were excluded as they consisted of reviews or commentaries rather than cases, and an additional 16 publications were excluded as they reported on non-SVG aneurysms, the vein graft was less than 1.5 times the reference vessel, or they represented duplicate reports.

1. introduction current statistical methods may be unable to accurately predict recurrence intervals of rare, large magnitude floods. the usual procedure involves extrapolation from gauged hydrological records documenting 30–40 year records of observed (normally small) floods to the estimation of the quantifies and recurrence intervals of very large, rare floods. this conventional approaches be...

Recently many studies on evolutionary algorithms using real encoding have been done. They include ant colony optimization (Socha & Dorigo, 2008), artificial bee colony algorithm (Akay & Karaboga, 2010; Kang et al., 2011), evolution strategies (ES) (Beyer, 2001), differential evolution (Das & Suganthan, 2011; Dasgupta et al., 2009; Kukkonen & Lampinen, 2004; 2005; Mezura-Montes et al., 2010; Nom...

In the last issue, I presented a piece that called into question some of the techniques reported in two papers in high-profile journals that purported to provide statistical evidence for the linguistic status of some ancient symbol systems (Sproat 2010a).

Percutaneous valve implantation is an innovative, successful alternative to open-heart surgery for the treatment of both pulmonary and aortic heart valve dysfunction (Bonhoeffer et al., 2000; Cribier et al., 2002; Leon et al., 2011; Lurz et al., 2008; McElhinney DB et al., 2010; Rodes-Cabau et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2011; Vahanian et al., 2008). However, this minimallyinvasive procedure still...
