AbstracL WO new methods for madelling Kolmogomv phase fluctuations oyer a finite apenure are described. Ihe firs1 method relies on the incorporation of subharmonim in order to model accurately the low frequencies of the Kolmogomv SpeclNm. Ihc second method provides a less accurate, but much faster method for simulating the Kolmogorw spectrum ty using a midpoint displacement algorithm used in co...

Carbon nanolUbes. consisting of graphilic cylinders. have been synthesized in bulk quantities. This comributiofl summarizes our presenr knowledge of Ihe microscopic mechanisms leading to the self· assembly of single-wall or multi-wall tubes. Numerical calculations. supponed by expenmental evidence, suggest these close relatives of fullercnes to be extremely stable Wilh reSpeCI to meChanical str...

The aim of this paper is to provide a Bayesian formulation of the so-called magnitude-based inference approach to quantifying and interpreting effects, and in a case study example provide accurate probabilistic statements that correspond to the intended magnitude-based inferences. The model is described in the context of a published small-scale athlete study which employed a magnitude-based inf...

The basal level of the gene expression and the activity of 3-hydroxy3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reducÃ-asewas higher in SV40-transformed human fibroblasts (90-VA VI) than in normal ones (HDF). In both these cell types mevinolin (25 /IM) caused an 85-90% depression of HMG CoA reducÃ-aseactivity and of the incorporation of [•'Hjacetate into sterols. In HDF this was coupled to an effic...

UNLABELLED Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise-Japan (IHE-J) was established in Japan in 2001 and has been working to standardize health information and make it accessible on the basis of the fundamental Integrating Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) specifications. However, because specialized operations are used in nuclear medicine tests, online sharing of patient information and test order inform...
