TOMS (Version 8) ozone records are analysed between latitudes 60 S and 60 N, in order to extract autocorrelation properties with high spatial resolution. After the removal of semi-annual, annual, and quasi-biennial background oscillations, the residuals are evaluated by detrended fluctuation analysis. Long-range correlations are detected everywhere. Surprisingly, the latitude dependence of zona...

As breeders of large white turkeys have made genetic improvement in body size and conformation, problems in managing breeding males have become accentuated. The main problem is one of obtaining semen from large, broad toms. There are some reports in the literature in which studies have been conducted to determine the effect of reduction in body size of males on subsequent semen production. Voit...

Depression is a serious mental disorder manifested by depressed mood, pessimistic thoughts, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of guilt, tearfulness, reduced or increased sleep, appetite loss or appetite disturbance, weight loss or weight gain, social restlessness, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating. Mania is characterized by abnormally elevated or irritable mood, arousal, and/or energ...

I show that a cosmological constant of roughly the observed magnitude in the present universe is a consequence of general relativity and quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and was first predicted by Parker and Toms in 1985. This prediction follows from the “new partially summed form” of the propagator in curved spacetime. The effect is based on the contribution of massive particles to th...

toms as shown in this case,10 we propose that tacrolimus could be the causative agent of this patient’s myocardial ischemia, and clinicians should be aware of this potential toxic manifestation. The patient’s ATIII activity was decreased below normal when the attack occurred. There are reports that the ATIII level decreases during BMT, which could cause a hypercoagulable state and result in a w...

Intussusception in neonates, especially in preterm infants, is rare. Common symp­ toms of intussusception, which include distended abdomen and gastric residuals, lead to misdiagnosis as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Delayed diagnosis of neo­ natal intussusception delays treatment as well, which can lead to life­threatening complications. The predominant location of intussusception in preterm...

An algorithm is presented which automatically sets the attack, release, threshold, and hold parameters of a noise gate applied to drum recordings which contain bleed from secondary sources. The gain parameter which controls the amount of attenuation applied when the gate is closed is retained, to allow the user to control the strength of the gate. The gate settings are found by minimising the a...
