Gellhorn, Hill, Moeschlin, and Wintrobe-were in close agreement regarding the indications for and therapy of leukemia. This book is almost an encyclopedia in this particular branch of hematology. The reader will be impressed by the ingenuity and the amount of information it contains. Another of its assets is that one obtains good insight into the character and type of work being undertaken in t...

In the essays by Middleton (2002) and Rowe, Wertsch and Kosyaeva (2002), the subject is the indeterminacy of memory and the intertextuality of narratives of history, conceived as nonlinear and contested. These authors offer new perspectives on our understanding of memory, in its official and unofficial narrative forms, as its move between the personal and social in historical consciousness and ...

Why do we have colour? What use is it to us? Some of the obvious answers are that we see colour so that we can recognise objects, spot objects more quickly, tell when fruit is ripe or rotten. These reasons make a lot of sense, but are there others? In this paper, we explore the things that colour makes easier for computational vision systems. In particular, we examine the role of colour in unde...

An automatic contour tiler (CTI) has been designed and implemented for use with planar, simple, possibly concave, non-intersecting \wireloop" contours which are typical in medical applications. Without user interaction or guidance, CTI connects 2D contours into 3D branching structures and then produces the tiles by extracting the surface of the resulting volume. CTI is a perturbing tiler based ...

This chapter presents a variety of applications of norms. These applications include governance in sociotechnical systems, data licensing and data collection, understanding software development teams, requirements engineering, assurance, natural resource allocation, wireless grids, autonomous vehicles, serious games, and virtual worlds.

Probiotics are live nonpathogenic microorganisms. Many of these microorganisms are part of the normal human gut flora, where they live in a symbiotic relationship. Probiotics have been used to treat gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI medical conditions. However, the data supporting their use are often conflicting, especially for non-GI-associated illnesses. The strongest evidence supporting the u...

Two techniques that are often used to solve these inverse problems are reg­ ularization and Bayesian modeling. Regularization is used to find a solution that both fits the data and is also suffi­ ciently smooth. Bayesian modeling ...

Magnesium is an essential mineral for optimal metabolic function. Research has shown that the mineral content of magnesium in food sources is declining, and that magnesium depletion has been detected in persons with some chronic diseases. This has led to an increased awareness of proper magnesium intake and its potential therapeutic role in a number of medical conditions. Studies have shown the...

This short survey of copulas presents their properties, tries to stress their relevance for statistics and their connection with Markov processes and conditional expectations. 1 What is a copula? Copul were introduced by Sklar(1959). The reader is referred to Schweizer and Sklar (1983), Schweizer (1991), Sklar (1973), Sklar (1996), Nelsen (1999). A copula is a function C : [0; 1] ]0; 1[! ]0; 1[...
