Four cases showing different means to detect cryoglobulins are reported: effects on blood cell counts performed on 2 technologically different automated hematology instruments and microscopic features in fresh blood samples and on May-Grünwald-Giemsa-stained bloodfilms. These cases were chosen for their instructive value in depicting all artifacts associated with cryoglobulins. Laboratory recog...

Laboratory findings A blood sample was submitted by mail to the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, University Animal Hospital, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden, for a complete hematological profile. The hematology analysis was performed on an Advia 2120 hematology instrument (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Erlangen, Germany) and by evaluation of a May‐Grünwald Giemsa st...

This tutorial provides an overview of and introduction to Rissanen’s Minimum Description Length (MDL) Principle. The first chapter provides a conceptual, entirely non-technical introduction to the subject. It serves as a basis for the technical introduction given in the second chapter, in which all the ideas of the first chapter are made mathematically precise. This tutorial will appear as the ...

In this chapter, we explore sequential game playing and online probabilistic prediction schemes. These have applications in coding when the true distribution of the data is unknown, biological algorithms (encoding genomic data, for example), control, and a variety of other areas. The field of universal prediction is broad; in addition to this chapter touching briefly on a few of the techniques ...

We investigate the relationship between some theorems in finite combinatorics and their infinite counterparts: given a “finite” result how one can get an “infinite” version of it? We will also analyze the relationship between the proofs of a “finite” theorem and the proof of its “infinite” version. Besides these comparisons, the paper gives a proof of a theorem of Erdős, Grünwald and Vázsonyi g...

In this paper we present a random walk model for approximating a Lévy-Feller advection-dispersion process, governed by the Lévy-Feller advection-dispersion differential equation (LFADE). We show that the random walk model converges to LFADE by use of a properly scaled transition to vanishing space and time steps. We propose an explicit finite difference approximation (EFDA) for LFADE, resulting...

The term ciliocytophthoria (CCP) (Greek etymology) describes a degenerative phenomenon of the ciliated cells secondary to respiratory viral infections and characterized by specific morphological changes. In the winter 2014-2015, we examined 12 patients, aged between 12 and 32 years (mean age 21, F/M: 4/8) who attended the clinic of Rhinology of the University Hospital Center of Bari (Italy) wit...

Tumor diseases have killed many people around the world for centuries. For this purpose, a lot of scientists analyzed immune system’s cells in order to cope with tumor growths living beings. reason, we examine system reflecting relationship between and growth study. This is handled traditional Caputo fractional derivative. We give stability analysis equilibrium points solution properties system...

In this article, a mathematical model of the COVID-19 pandemic with control parameters is introduced. The main objective study to determine most effective for predicting transmission dynamic using deterministic variables. For purpose, we introduce three variables reduce number infected and asymptomatic or undiagnosed populations in considered model. Existence necessary optimal conditions are al...
