This article is concerned primarily with the intrinsic anisotropy in the angular distribution of 2281 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) collected in Current BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog until the end of year 1998, and, second, with intrinsic anisotropies of three subclasses (”short”, ”intermediate”, ”long”) of GRBs. Testing based on spherical harmonics of each class, in equatorial coordinates, is presen...

Studies using central nervous system tissue obtained postmortem suggest pathways involved in energy and metabolism contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia; neuroimaging studies suggesting glucose metabolism is particularly affected in the striatum. To gain information on the status of pathways involved in glucose metabolism in the striatum, we measured levels of glucose, pyruvate, ac...

We show non solvability results in Gevrey spaces Gs for a linear partial differential operator with a single real characteristic of constant multiplicity m, m ≥ 3, provided s > m/(m−2)+δ, where δ > 0 depends on the order of the degeneracy of a suitable lower order term. In particular, δ → 0 as the order of the degeneracy tends to +∞.

We analyzed the Hg concentration, and δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values in the scalp hair of residents from seven countries; Vietnam, New Zealand, Spain, the USA, South Korea, Brazil and Japan. Relationships among the data in each country and among the seven countries were then examined. The highest Hg concentration as well as the highest or higher δ¹⁵N value in each country was found in the hair of a heavy...

The highly lethal nature of pancreatic cancer and the increasing recognition of high-risk individuals have made research into chemoprevention a high priority. Here, we tested the chemopreventive activity of δ-tocotrienol, a bioactive vitamin E derivative extracted from palm fruit, in the LSL-Kras(G12D/+);Pdx-1-Cre pancreatic cancer mouse model. At 10 weeks of age, mice (n = 92) were randomly al...

coincides with the standard (central) tν distribution. In the following, represents the effect size; by convention, a of 0.5 is considered a "medium" effect size. In Figure 1 are shown three instances of the t′ density envelope for ν = 10, one with δ = 0 (a standard t), and two with δ = 3 and δ = 6 : one may note that, whereas t10(δ = 0) is centered at 0 and symmetrical, the non-central t′’s ar...
