The concentration of police resources in stable crime hotspots has proven effective in reducing crime, but the extent to which police can disrupt dynamically changing crime hotspots is unknown. Police must be able to anticipate the future location of dynamic hotspots to disrupt them. Here we report results of two randomized controlled trials of near real-time epidemic-type aftershock sequence (...

The present study has been designed to evaluate the liver protective and in-vivo antioxidant role of Ethanolic extract (EtAS) and Ethyl acetate extract (EAAS) of roots of Argyreia speciosa, an important 'rasayana' herb in Indian System of medicine, in CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in rats. Animals were treated with EtAS and EAAS at doses of 200 mg and 400 mg/kg body weight ...

Abstract Earthquake occurrences are often described using a class of branching models called Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) models. The name derives from the fact that the model allows earthquakes to cause aftershocks, and then those aftershocks may induce subsequent aftershocks, and so on. Despite their value in seismology, such models have not previously been used in studying the in...

Epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) point processes are a common model for the occurrence of earthquake events. ETAS models consist of a stationary background Poisson process modeling spontaneous earthquakes and a triggering kernel representing the space-time-magnitude distribution of aftershocks. Two popular non-parametric methods for estimation of the background intensity include histogr...

The low temperature correlation length and the static structure factor are computed for bilayer antiferromagnets such as YBa2Cu3O6. It is shown that energy integrated two-axis scan in neutron scattering experiments can be meaningfully interpreted to extract correlation length in such bilayer antiferromagnets despite intensity modulation in the momentum perpendicular to the layers. Thus, precise...

The history of electronic travel aids (ETAs) for blind travelers is not lengthy, particularly the period of commercial availability. However, during these few years there have been many modifications to the aids and to methods of instructing potential users . The C-5 Laser Cane has replaced the C-4 Laser Cane and the Sonicguide is today 's name for the Binaural Sensory Aid, while the training o...
