Difficulty. The use of Proposition 5.5 to obtain Proposition 5.6 is inadequate if the reduction map rp on the set of distinct points among {P,Q,PQ} is not oneone. For example, if P , Q, and PQ are distinct and rp(P ) = rp(Q) = rp(PQ), then Proposition 5.5 shows that the intersection multiplicity for rp(P ) is ≥ 1, but it does not produce either a second or a third point on rp of the line. Thus ...

AIM To determine the persistence of regulatory problems (RP), i.e. excessive crying (>3 months of age), feeding and sleeping difficulties from infancy to preschool age, and to evaluate whether RP at 5 months are predictive of preschool adaptive behaviour and social skills. METHOD A prospective population study of newborns admitted to neonatal care. RP at 5, 20 and 56 months of age were obtain...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the most common subacute side effect after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Several clinical and dose-volume (DV) parameters are associated with a distinct risk of symptomatic RP. The aim of this study was to assess the spatial dose distribution of the RP volume from first occurence to maximu...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using different levels of red pepper powder (rp) and marigold flower powder (mf) on egg production, egg yolk color andsome blood metabolites in laying hens. ninety, 103-weeks old laying hens were divided into 5 treatments groups of 6 birds in each cage with 3 replicates in a completely randomized design. the birds were fed a corn-soybean...

Purpose of the study was to compare Rarebit Perimetry (RP) with Standard Automatic Perimetry (SAP) in patients with ischemic retrochiasmal lesions. Seventeen patients with homonymous hemianopia underwent SAP and RP. Correlation between the two techniques was evaluated, congruent defects were quantified in the spared hemifield and residual vision areas were investigated in the blind hemifield. A...

BACKGROUND Between the years 1993 and 2003, more than 140,000 men underwent radical prostatectomy (RP), thus making RP one of the most common treatment options for localized prostate cancer in the United States. DISCUSSION Localized prostate cancer treated by RP is one of the more challenging procedures performed by urologic surgeons. Studies suggest a definite learning curve in performing th...

Although subjects have little or no awareness of masked primes, Bodner and Masson (2001) found that priming of lexical decisions is often enhanced when masked repetition primes occur on a high proportion of trials. We used baseline prime conditions to specify the locus of this repetition proportion (RP) effect. In Experiments 1A and 1B, a .8-RP group showed more priming than did a .2-RP group, ...

Rapid prototyping (RP) is an automated manufacturing process that quickly builds physical models from CAD files of 3D prototypes. With the high advanced network technologies, many different software and hardware systems can be integrated as a distributed platform to provide more services, solve more complicated problems and achieve better performance. The main objective of this paper is to deve...
