Three patients with autosomal-recessive nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI), homozygous for mutations in the aquaporin 2 gene (AQP2), were tested for their fibrinolytic and hemodynamic responses to intravenous adm inistration of l-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP). They all showed an increase of tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen, facial flush­ ing, an increase of heart rate and...

Let G be a connected simple graph and let SG be the spectrum of integers v for which there exists a G-design of order v. Put e = {x, y}, with x ∈ V (G) and y 6∈ V (G). Denote by G + e the graph having vertex set V (G) ∪ {y} and edge set E(G) ∪ {e}. Let (X,D) be a (G+e)-design. We say that two G-designs (Vi,Bi), i = 1, 2, are exactly embedded into (X,D) if X = V1 ∪ V2, |V1 ∩ V2| = 0 and there is...

To each function f of bounded quadratic variation we associate a Hausdorff measure μf . We show that the map f → μf is locally Lipschitz and onto the positive cone of M[0, 1]. We use the measures {μf : f ∈ V2} to determine the structure of the subspaces of V 0 2 which either contain c0 or the square stopping time space S2.

(3) u· = hv·lkT a/ = 21rVihv·, i = 1,2 v· = (l/21rX F·lm)'h The potential has the limiting value of zero when x 00, goes through a single maximum of height VI as x increases, and has a limiting value of VI V2 as x + 00. F· is the second derivative of Vat its maximum. The lower bound Eo in the integral (1) is equal to zero when VI =::;; V2 , and to VI V2 when VI > V2 • The three parameters used ...

Let W be a Coxeter group. We show that a certain power series involving a sum over all involutions in W can be expressed in terms of the Poincaré series of W . (The case where W is finite has been known earlier.) Introduction 0.1. Let V ′ be an n-dimensional vector space over the finite field Fq and let V = Fq2⊗FqV ′, an n-dimensional vector space over Fq2 . Let F : V → V be the Fq-linear isomo...

Communicated by Jerzy Neyman, August 1, 1966 1. All random variables considered in this note are nonnegative and integervalued. Generically, the probability generating functions (P. G. F.) of such variables are denoted by G with subscripts identifying the random variables concerned. The argument, or arguments of the P. G. F., denoted by either u or v, will be assumed to have their moduli less t...

OBJECTIVE To test whether ventilatory thresholds, measured during an exercise test, could be assessed using time varying analysis of respiratory sinus arrhythmia frequency (f(RSA)). METHODS Fourteen sedentary subjects and 12 endurance athletes performed a graded and maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer: initial load 75 W (sedentary subjects) and 150 W (athletes), increments 37.5 W/2 min...

[1] A transient flow system observed at 1 AU from October 24–November 7, 2003 (consisting of several shocks, ejecta and possibly other flows) moved away from the Sun for 180 days to 73 AU, where Voyager 2 (V2) observed a large Merged Interaction Region (MIR) associated with a fast (560 km/s) stream that followed a forward shock and moved past V2 for 1.5 solar rotations. The MIR and stream were ...

Let U and V be complete separable metric spaces, Vu compact in V and G : U × V → IR a continuous function. For a large class of (usually non–constructive) proofs of uniqueness theorems ∧ u ∈ U, v1, v2 ∈ Vu ( G(u, v1) = inf v∈Vu G(u, v) = G(u, v2) → v1 = v2 ) one can extract an effective modulus of uniqueness Φ by logical analysis, i.e. ∧ u ∈ U, v1, v2 ∈ Vu, n ∈ IN ( 2 ∧ i=1 ( G(u, vi)− inf v∈Vu...
