This paper uses the method of cross spectral analysis to examine preand post-1987 crash comovements among several Pacific Rim markets. The results support increased post-crash comovements among the markets. Each of the pairwise median coherences was greater in the post-crash period. The same is true for the post-crash mean coherences, with one exception. The nonparametric Wilcoxon Z statistics ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A hyperintense rim on susceptibility in chronic MS lesions is consistent with iron deposition, and the purpose of this study was to quantify iron-related myelin damage within these lesions as compared with those without rim. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-six patients had 2 longitudinal quantitative susceptibility mapping with automatic zero reference scans with a mean int...

We consider the partial order on partitions of integers deened by removal of rim hooks of a given length. The isomorphism between this poset and a product of Young's lattices leads to rim hook versions of Schensted correspondences. Analogous results are given for shifted shapes. A shape, or Young diagram, is a nite order ideal of the lattice P 2 = f(k; l) : k; l 1g. Each shape = f(i; j) : 1 j i...

The results of fishery investigations are used to estimate the catch size, times fish are caught, and future stocks in the fish culture industry. In Tokoro, Japan, scallop farms for fisheries are found on gravel and sand seabeds. The seabed images are used for fishery investigations, which are absolutely necessary to visually estimate the amount of scallops. However, there is no automatic techn...

PURPOSE It is challenging procedure to revise acetabular component in acetabulum with severe bone defect or deformity. The jumbo cup is good option for revisional arthroplasty in large bone defect. The purpose of this study is to compare the prognosis of revisional total hip arthroplasty using jumbo cup with peripheral rim fixation and no rim fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included the pa...

PURPOSE To evaluate a possible clinical application of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) using en-face module for the imaging of the corneoscleral limbus in normal subjects and dry eye patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-six subjects were included in this study. Seventy eyes of 35 consecutive patients with dry eye disease and 82 eyes of 41 healthy control subjects were ...

PURPOSE To determine whether cells of the cribriform trabecular meshwork (TM) express basement membrane (BM) components similar to corneoscleral TM cells and to determine whether cribriform cells are connected to the elastic tendon net of the TM. METHODS TM cells of the corneoscleral and the cribriform regions were cultured from 10 eyes of 10 donors, aged 20 to 87 years. Cell types were class...

PURPOSE To report clinical and confocal microscopy features of late-onset Candida albicans keratitis after Descemet stripping automated keratoplasty (DSAEK). METHODS We performed clinical and confocal scan on a patient who underwent DSAEK and phacoemulsification for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and cataract. RESULTS A 76-year-old woman who underwent uneventful DSAEK and phacoemulsification p...
