The number of neurons under a square millimeter of cortical surface has been reported to be the same across five cortical areas and five species [Rockel et al. (1980) Brain 103(2):221-244] despite differences in cortical thickness between the areas. Although the accuracy of this result has been the subject of sharp debate since its publication approximately 30 y ago, the experiments of Rockel e...

Quantitative information about the response of seedling emergence totemperature for safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is rare. The main objective ofthe present study was to develop a model for predicting days to emergence forsafflower as influenced by the temperature. In this regard, a field experiment with arange of sowing dates and four safflower cultivars were conducted to describe theresp...

Introduction: Response to tracheal tube during emergence of general anesthesia is a main concern. We aimed to compare the effect of Remifentanil and Lidocaine on response to tracheal tube during emergence of general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, we enrolled 80 consecutive patients with American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I–II, who und...

The conditional result we saw last time does much more than that. If we have a language in the uniform class E not in the non-uniform class SIZE(s(n)) then a PRG exists. I.e., there is a way to systematically replace random bits with pseudorandom bits such that no BPP algorithm will (substantially) notice the difference. Thus, not only it shows that all languages in BPP are in fact in P (or wha...

We describe three orthogonal complexity measures parallel time amount of hardware and degree of non uniformity which together parametrize most complexity classes We show that the descriptive com plexity framework neatly captures these measures using three parameters quanti er depth number of variables and type of numeric predicates re spectively A fairly simple picture arises in which the basic...

The paper is concerned with testing uniformity versus a monotone density. This problem arises in two important contexts, after transformations, testing whether a sample is a simple random sample or a biased sample, and testing whether the intensity function of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process is constant against monotone alternatives. A penalized likelihood ratio test (P-test) and a Dip likelih...
