To determine the location of the intra-day variable (IDV) emission region within the jet of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714, a multi-epoch VSOP polarization experiment was performed in Autumn 2000. To detect, image, and monitor the short term variability of the source, three space-VLBI experiments were performed with VSOP at 5 GHz, separated in time by six days and by one day. Quasi-contemporaneo...

We report a case of a 38-yearold woman who presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and occasional fevers, five weeks after radical abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection for cervical carcinoma. After initial empirical antibiotic treatment failure, a decision was made to proceed with percutaneous drainage of a right psoas abscess. The antibiotic regimen was adjusted accordi...

This paper studies fairness in Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM). The existing models for ATFM do not impose the following two controls: 1) they don’t ensure that the order of flight arrivals in the resulting solution is close to the flight ordering in the original published schedules, i.e., there are no guarantees on the number of pairwise reversals and 2) the airlines are not taken into acco...

A comparison was made between the structure and physicochemical properties of starches extracted from five normal and one naked cultivar of oat. There was little difference in the molecular size or polydispersity of the native amylose and amylopectin determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), or in the unit chain distribution of isoamylasedebranched amylopectin, where three peaks were r...

The All Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer detected an X-ray (2-12 keV) outburst from the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 beginning near April 25, 1996. Optical photometry obtained April 20-24, 1996 shows a steady brightening of the source in B, V , R, and I beginning about six days before the start of the X-ray outburst. The onset of the optical brightening was earliest in I and lat...

32p testing for suspected ocular malignancy has been performed during the past three years at the Mayo Clinic in a manner similar to that described by Shields, Sarin, Federman, Mensheha-Manhart, and Carmichael (I 974). Until recently our technique differed, however, in that we administered the 32p orally rather than intravenously. A dose of 750 ,tCi of 32p was given to the patient orally on an ...

We report on radio and X-ray observations of the black hole candidate (BHC) XTE J1550−564 performed during its 2000 X-ray outburst. Observations have been – 2 – conducted with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and have allowed us to sample the radio behavior of XTE J1550−564 in the X-ray Low Hard and Intermedi-ate/Very High states. We observed optically thin radio emission from XTE J...

Objective: To study the effect of yoga on verbal aggressiveness in normal healthy adults. Methods : Of the 1228 persons who attended introductory lectures, 226 subjects of both sexes who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria and who consented to participate in the study were randomly allocated into two groups. These 226 subjects were between the ages of 17 and 62 years and 173/226 comp...

The paper presents results from a validation process of OpenStreetMap (OSM) rapid mapping activities using crowdsourcing technology in the aftermath of the Gorkha earthquake 2015 in Nepal. We present a framework and tool to iteratively validate and update OSM objects. Two main objectives are addressed: first, analyzing the accuracy of the volunteered geographic information (VGI) generated by th...

Approved: Redacted for Privacy Don-rd y Campbell The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effects of early morning and evening bouts of aerobic exercise upon the diurnal pattern of reaction time and body temperature. An effort was made to classify subjects according to the rhythmic trends identified with 'morning' and 'evening' type persons. Eight physically active male students o...
