BACKGROUND Although postvaccination Guillain-Barré syndrome is commonly reported, there have only been 2 previously reported cases of postvaccination Miller Fisher syndrome, and none in association with the novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccine. OBJECTIVE To describe a case of Miller Fisher syndrome following receipt of the seasonal influenza and novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccine. DESIGN Case repor...

The Fermat and Solovay–Strassen tests are each based on translating a congruence modulo prime numbers, either Fermat’s little theorem or Euler’s congruence, over to the setting of composite numbers and hoping to make it fail there. The Miller–Rabin test uses a similar idea, but involves a system of congruences. For an odd integer n > 1, factor out the largest power of 2 from n− 1, say n− 1 = 2e...

Volume 30, Number 4, July/August 1998 play an important role in teenage pregnancy. The U.S. Congress made the prevention of teenage pregnancies a major objective of the 1996 federal welfare reform law,3 which recommends that “the states and local jurisdictions should aggressively enforce statutory rape laws” as one way to achieve this end.4 As a result, states are reconsidering both the content...

Power output (P), thermal efficiency (η) and ecological function (E) characteristics of an endoreversible Dual-Miller cycle (DMC) with finite speed of the piston and finite rate of heat transfer are investigated by applying finite time thermodynamic (FTT) theory. The parameter expressions of the non-dimensional power output (P), η and non-dimensional ecological function (E) are derived. The rel...

in this research the effect of conventional and ohmic pasteurization and storage time at different temperatures on some bioactive components of aloe vera gel juice was investigated. aloe vera gel juice was pasteurized conventionally and ohmically at 90 ºc for 1 min. the effect of pasteurization on vitamin c, total phenolic content  and juice color was evaluated. the samples pasteurized conventi...

In 1986 Victor Miller described an algorithm for computing the Weil pairing in his unpublished manuscript. This algorithm has then become the core of all pairing-based cryptosystems. Many improvements of the algorithm have been presented. Most of them involve a choice of elliptic curves of a special forms to exploit a possible twist during Tate pairing computation. Other improvements involve a ...
