While most algebra is done by writing text and formulas, diagrams have always been used to present structural information clearly and concisely. Text shells are the de facto interface for computational algebraic number theory, but they are incapable of presenting structural information graphically. We present GiANT, a newly developed graphical interface for working with number fields. GiANT off...

Consumption of animal source foods, through livestock production, improves children's growth and micronutrient status. However, research on the relationship between ownership childhood anemia has produced conflicting results. The current study used robust analytical approaches to examine effect household using most recent secondary data from national demographic health survey. We followed a 1:1...

We reanalyze the seminal work by Dolan and Osheroff [Phys. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{43}$, 721 (1979)] which reported anomalous low-temperature conduction of high-resistivity thin-film metal strips. argue that observed logarithmic increase resistance with decreasing temperature in their 3-nm-thick Au-Pd strips be ascribed to granularity effect on electron discontinuous films. This reanalysis is furth...

Box 1700, STN CSC, Victoria, B.C., Canada V8W 2Y2; e-mail: [email protected]; FAX: (250) 721-6214 Abstract We consider the seasonal distribution of turning points in the post-war growth cycles of sixteen economies. Using nonparametric tests for distributions on the circle, we cannot reject the hypothesis of a uniform dis...

We reviewed 721 consecutive samples submitted for measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) over five months. We identified three patients with extremely high PSA concentrations: 650, 1840, and 3280 micrograms/L (their acid phosphatase activities were 3.2, 1337, and 2.8 U/L, respectively), and present case reports for the latter two. Serial dilutions of samples obtained from the patient wi...

Specifically, the two...

A 27-year-old womanwas admitted for further examination of thrombocytopenia. Symptomswere absent, but physical examination demonstrated hepatosplenomegaly without neurological abnormalities. Bone marrow examination revealed many Gaucher cells, and glucocerebrosidase activity from cultured skin fibroblasts was markedly reduced. A 1448C (L444P) mutation was detected on one allele of the glucocere...
