Rapid epidemiological assessment (REA) has evolved over the past 30 years into an essential tool of disaster management. Small area survey and sampling methods are the major application. While REA is protocol driven, needs assessment of displaced populations remains highly non-standardized. The United Nations and other international organizations continue to call for the development of standard...

A non-parallel analysis of time-oscillatory instability of conical jets reveals important features not found in prior studies. Flow deceleration significantly enhances the shearlayer instability for both swirl-free and swirling jets. In swirl-free jets, flow deceleration causes the axisymmetric instability (absent in the parallel approximation). The critical Reynolds number Rea for this instabi...

In dichotic listening, two competing messages are delivered to the left and right ear, respectively. Right-handed subjects tend to report hearing more frequently the message input to the right ear. This is called Right Ear Advantage (REA). When intensities and other properties of the messages are properly adjusted, subjects may have a single perception localized to the center of the head. Frequ...

Abstract One reading of the Doctrine Original Sin has it that we are guilty a sin committed by Adam, thousands years ago. Fission theorists account for this saying Adam fissioned after he sinned and each us is one his ‘fission successors’. This paper recaps current discussion in literature about theory, arguing proposed version does not work reasons already raised Rea Hudson. I then introduce n...

This paper reviews the basic tenets and structure of the REA (Resource-Event-Agent) accounting model, and discusses how that model has been used in a wide variety of knowledge-intensive environments to facilitate automated reasoning concerning economic phenomena in business enterprises. The model’s basic concepts and structures are reviewed at both higher (enterprise value chain) and lower (bus...

Infection is involved at each of these points. Clinical observations implicate bacterial infection in ReA. The principal gene associated with spondyloarthropathy is HLA-B27, and infection is the driving force behind HLA polymorphism. Observations in ReA and animal models suggest a central role for bacteria in pathogenic mechanisms. This article reviews current understanding of spondyloarthropat...

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency endometrial ablation (REA) is currently a second line treatment in women with heavy menstrual bleeding (MHB) if medical therapy (MTP) is contraindicated or unsatisfactory. Our objective is to compare the effectiveness and cost burden of MTP and REA in the initial treatment of HMB. METHODS We performed a randomized trial at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota. The planne...
