objective(s): there is controversial evidence about the effect of methamphetamine (meth) on spatial memory. we tested the time- dependent effects of meth on spatial short-term (working) and long-term (reference) memory in meth –sensitized and withdrawn rats in the morris water maze. materials and methods: rats were sensitized to meth (2 mg/kg, daily/5 days, sc). rats were trained in water maze ...

abstract aim and background: evaluation of cognition is fundamental for every comprehensive epilepsy program. we sought to conduct this study to assess memory state of patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy before decision for epilepsy surgery. method and materials: in a case-control study, 20 patients with right temporal lobe epilepsy and 20 patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy w...

leukaemia) and the possibility of infection insufficiently considered, or hepatitis may be assumed to be the cause of any jaundice during an epidemic, with altern ative or coincidental aetiologies being inappropriately excluded at an early stage. These cases demonstrate that the initial assessment of the child should be openminded, with account being taken of past medical history and epidemiolo...

I h e qu a n t i t ative expression of tumor-specific transplantation antigen, tumor-specific cell surface antigen, and T-antigen in polyoma virus-induced tumors was studied. A mouse polyoma virus-transformed cell line (4198) and its variant line (4198V) were both shown to possess polyoma tumor-specific transplantation antigen, but the variant line was more immunosensitive. The 4198V cells had ...

A test set for ;t language I. is J tinite subset T of L with the property that each pair of morphisms that agrees on 7 iilso agrees on L. Some results concerning te\t sets for languages with f,rir distribution of letters ilre presented. The first result is that every DOL language with fair distribution of Ictters has ,i test cet. The second result shows thst every lapage L with fair distributio...

As part ofa collaborative project, 4-viny]cyclohcxene diepoxide (VCD), an ovarian toxicant, was intraperitoncal[y administered to female Sprague-Dawley rats at O, 5, 20 or 80 mg/kg from 2 weeks prior to mating to Day 7 of gestation. At necropsy, the number of implanted embryos, rate of implantation decreased and the rate of preimplantation loss showed an increasing tendency in the 80 mgfkg grou...

We investigate the behavior of (univariate) cumulative distribution functions which are defined on an abstract linearly ordered space. Special emphasis is given to the study of a class of linearly ordered spaces which J.H.b. Kemperman introduced into the subject of nonparametric tolerance regions. Distribution functions on such spaces can be decomposed. Considerable attention is given to applic...

In accordance with Peer Review process for US EPA's Model Calibrati on Report (MCR) for the Housatonic River (dated December 2004), I am enclosing a document entitled Comments of the General Electric Company on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Model Calibration: Modeling of PCB Contamination in the Housatonic River, which was prepared on GE's behalf by Quantit ative Environmental Anal...

We propose algorithms for the design of FIR com-paction lters, which nd applications in FIR subband coders. The techniques produce compaction gains very close to that of optimal compaction lters, for any xed lter order and input autocorrelation. The main theme of the paper is the design of multistage FIR com-paction lters based on an iterated linear programming approach. The theory behind this ...
