Abstract:

Objective. To study and analyze the modern possibilities and role of magnet-resonance tomography in diagnosis of teno-synovial giant-cell tumor (pigmented villo-nodular synoviitis) of a knee joint. To improve diagnosis and monitoring of the disease, using the estimation scale elaborated. Materials and methods. In the investigation 77 patients with pathohistologically verified teno-synovial giant-cell tumor (pigmented villo-nodular synoviitis) of a knee joint were included. The patients were distributed into two groups: the main - 52 patients, who were operated and examined, using diagnostic-treatment algorithm, proposed by the authors, and a control one - 25 patients, who were examined and treated in accordance to standard procedures. Results. Magnet-resonance tomography constitutes a «gold standard» in diagnosis of a pigment villo-nodular synovitis of a knee joint. There was established, that a distance between the graphic plots data, obtained in accordance to Ogilvie-Harris and Ogilvie-Harris-Kostogryz scales, which equals 2 and more, trusts the absence of the disease recurrence. A number «2» was selected not incidentally, because the estimate in 2 points in accordance to the scale equals a criterion «good», and in a 3 points - a criterion «excellent». Conclusion. Application of a function-prognosis scale of Ogilvie-Harris-Kostogryz is directly connected with magnet-resonance tomography. With the help of this scale it is possible to estimate the joint functional state, and, more than using the scale existing, to monitor the disease, as well as to mention about the operation radicalism and the risk of the recurrence occurrence.

Full text

Abstract:

In a recent article, Harris (2003) concluded that the data do not support the existence of evolved sex differences in jealousy. Harris' review correctly identifies fatal flaws in three lines of evidence (spousal abuse, homicide, morbid jealousy), but her criticism of two other lines of evidence (self-report responses, psychophysiological measures) is based, in part, on a mischaracterization of the evolutionary psychological theory and a misunderstanding of the empirical implications of the theory. When interpreted according to the correct criterion (i.e., an interaction between sex and infidelity type), self-report studies (both forced-choice and non-forced choice) offer strong support for the existence of sex differences in jealousy. Psychophysiological data also offer some support, although these data are weakened by validity-related concerns. In addition, some refutational evidence cited by Harris (responses to real infidelity, responses under cognitive load) actually does not refute the theory. An integrative model that describes how jealousy might result from the interaction of sociocultural variables and evolved sex differences and suggestions for future research directions are discussed.

Abstract:

AbstractWe investigate the smoothing problem of limit linear series of rank one on an enrichment of the notions of nodal curves and metrized complexes called saturated metrized complexes. We give a finitely verifiable full criterion for smoothability of a limit linear series of rank one on saturated metrized complexes, characterize the space of all such smoothings, and extend the criterion to metrized complexes. As applications, we prove that all limit linear series of rank one are smoothable on saturated metrized complexes corresponding to curves of compact-type, and we prove an analogue for saturated metrized complexes of a theorem of Harris and Mumford on the characterization of nodal curves contained in a given gonality stratum. In addition, we give a full combinatorial criterion for smoothable limit linear series of rank one on saturated metrized complexes corresponding to nodal curves whose dual graphs are made of separate loops.

Abstract:

In Part I we developed stability concepts for discrete chains, together with Foster–Lyapunov criteria for them to hold. Part II was devoted to developing related stability concepts for continuous-time processes. In this paper we develop criteria for these forms of stability for continuous-parameter Markovian processes on general state spaces, based on Foster-Lyapunov inequalities for the extended generator. Such test function criteria are found for non-explosivity, non-evanescence, Harris recurrence, and positive Harris recurrence. These results are proved by systematic application of Dynkin's formula. We also strengthen known ergodic theorems, and especially exponential ergodic results, for continuous-time processes. In particular we are able to show that the test function approach provides a criterion for f-norm convergence, and bounding constants for such convergence in the exponential ergodic case. We apply the criteria to several specific processes, including linear stochastic systems under non-linear feedback, work-modulated queues, general release storage processes and risk processes.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper focuses on the comparison of different interest point detectors and their utilization for measurements in ultrasound (US) images. Certain medical examinations are based on speckle tracking which strongly relies on features that can be reliably tracked frame to frame. Only significant features (interest points) resistant to noise and brightness changes within US images are suitable for accurate long-lasting tracking. We compare three interest point detectors - Harris-Laplace, Difference of Gaussian (DoG) and Fast Hessian - and identify the most suitable one for use in US images on the basis of an objective criterion. Repeatability rate is assumed to be an objective quality measure for comparison. We have measured repeatability in images corrupted by different types of noise (speckle noise, Gaussian noise) and for changes in brightness. The Harris-Laplace detector outperformed its competitors and seems to be a sound option when choosing a suitable interest point detector for US images. However, it has to be noted that Fast Hessian and DoG detectors achieved better results in terms of processing speed.

Abstract:

The aim of the present study is to investigate the sensitivity of empirical Bayes estimates of the reliability function with respect to changing of the loss function. In addition to applying some of the basic analytical results on empirical Bayes reliability obtained with the use of the “popular” squared error loss function, we shall derive some expressions corresponding to empirical Bayes reliability estimates obtained with the Higgins–Tsokos, the Harris and our proposed logarithmic loss functions. The concept of efficiency, along with the notion of integrated mean square error, will be used as a criterion to numerically compare our results.It is shown that empirical Bayes reliability functions are in general sensitive to the choice of the loss function, and that the squared error loss does not always yield the best empirical Bayes reliability estimate.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of two self-esteem (organization-based self-esteem: OBSE; task-specific self-esteem: TSSE) in predicting two types of employee commitment (job involvement, organizational commitment) based on the framework of Lavelle, McMahan and Harris(2009)’s target similarity model. A sample of 746 south korean employees were participated in this study and data were analyzed by MPLUS 6.12. The main results are as follows. First, the indirect effects reflecting target similarity effect were supported, but another indirect effects which reflect spillover effect between two dimensions was not. Second, the result of comparison between target similarity effect and spillover effect, which has same predictor and criterion but different mediator in each dimensions, was significant in organization domain, but not in job domain. Finally, the implications and limitations were discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract We compared oxygenation and derivatization of hemoglobin for the hematofluorometric determination of erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP). No statistically significant differences were found when the volume ratio of sample to ProtoFluor reagent (which converts hemoglobin to cyanohemoglobin) was changed from 1:1 to 1:4. With the derivatizing reagent, results were significantly higher than those obtained after thorough aeration of the blood sample (P &lt; 0.001). The differences between the results obtained by the two procedures were greater for ZPP values in the reference range. Although the correlation between methods was high (r = 0.997), interconversion of the results by means of the regression equation was not acceptable because the standard error of the estimate from the regression (Syix = 0.36 micrograms/g hemoglobin) was greater than the error acceptable medically (criterion of Harris: Arch Pathol Lab Med 1988; 112:416-20).

Abstract:

Abstract OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD) remains problematic as a result of a lack of reliable radiodiagnostic criteria. In Part 1 of the AOD series, we showed that the normal occiput–C1 joint in children has an extremely narrow joint gap (condyle–C1 interval [CCI]) with great left-right symmetry. In Part 2, we used a CCI of 4 mm or greater measured on reformatted computed tomographic (CT) scans as the indicator for AOD and tested the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of CCI against published criteria. The clinical manifestation, neuroimaging findings, management, and outcome of our series of patients with AOD are also reported. METHOD For diagnostic sensitivity, we applied the CCI criterion on 16 patients who fulfilled one or more accepted radiodiagnostic criteria of AOD and who showed clinical and imaging hallmarks of the syndrome. All 16 patients had plain cervical spine x-rays, head CT scans, axial cervical spine CT scans with reconstruction, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. The diagnostic yield and false-negative rate of CCI were compared with those of four published “standard” tests, namely Wholey's dens-basion interval, Powers' ratio, Harris' basion-axis interval, and Sun's interspinous ratio. The diagnostic value of “nonstandard” indicators such as cervicomedullary deficits, tectorial membrane and other ligamentous damage, perimedullary subarachnoid hemorrhage, and extra-axial blood at C1−C2 were also assessed. For diagnostic specificity, we applied CCI and the “standard” and “nonstandard” tests on 10 patients from five classes of non-AOD upper cervical injuries. The false-positive diagnostic rates for AOD of all respective tests were documented. RESULTS The CCI criterion was positive in all 16 patients with AOD with a diagnostic sensitivity of 100%. Fourteen patients had bilateral AOD with disruption and widening of both OC1 joints. Two patients had unilateral AOD with only one joint wider than 4 mm. The abnormal CCI varied from 5 to 34 mm. Eight patients showed blatant left-right joint asymmetry in either CCI or anatomic conformation. The diagnostic sensitivities for the “standard” tests are as follows: Wholey's, 50%; Powers', 37.5%; Harris', 31%; and Sun's, 25%, with false-negative rates of 50, 62.5, 69, and 75%, respectively. The sensitivities for the “nonstandard” indicators are: tectorial membrane damage, 71%; perimedullary blood, 63%; and C1−C2 extra-axial blood, 75%, with false-negative rates of 29, 37, and 25%, respectively. Fifteen patients with AOD had occiput-cervical fusion. There were one early and two delayed deaths (19% mortality); two patients (12%) had complete or severe residual high quadriplegia, but 11 children (69%) enjoyed excellent neurological recovery. CCI was normal in all 10 patients with non-AOD upper cervical injuries with a diagnostic specificity of 100%. The false-positive rates for the four “standard” tests were: Sun's, 60%; Harris', 50%; Wholey's, 30%; and Powers', 10%; for the “nonstandard” indicator, the rates were: cervicomedullary deficits, 70%; tectorial membrane damage, 40%; C1−C2 extra-axial blood, 40%; and perimedullary blood, 30%. CONCLUSION The CCI criterion has the highest diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for AOD among all other radiodiagnostic criteria and indicators. CCI is easily computed from reconstructed CT scans, has almost no logistical or technical distortions, can capture occiput–C1 joint dislocation in all three planes, and is unaffected by congenital anomalies or maturation changes of adjacent structures. Because CCI is the only test that directly measures the integrity of the actual joint injured in AOD and a widened CCI cannot be concealed by postinjury changes in the head and neck relationship, it surpasses others that use changeable landmarks.

Abstract:

We analyze the critical behavior of a q-state Potts model with correlated disordered ferromagnetic exchange interactions along the layers of a diamond hierarchical lattice. For a special class of weakly disordered distributions, we use the topological properties of the lattice to write a set of recursion relations for the moments of the probability distribution of the interaction parameters. We identify a small parameter, q-q0, where q0=0.537…, to expand and decouple the recursion relations. For q<q0, there is just a trivial stable fixed point, associated with the critical behavior of the uniform model. For q>q0 (that correponds, in a uniform case, to a specific heat critical exponent α>-2), the existence of a stable disordered fixed point indicates a change in the critical behavior. We make some remarks on the validity of the Harris criterion for hierarchical lattices.

Abstract:

The effect of disorder for pinning models is a subject which has attracted much attention in theoretical physics and rigorous mathematical physics. A peculiar point of interest is the question of coincidence of the quenched and annealed critical point for a small amount of disorder. The question has been mathematically settled in most cases in the last few years, giving in particular a rigorous validation of the Harris criterion on disorder relevance. However, the marginal case, where the return probability exponent is equal to $1/2$, that is, where the interarrival law of the renewal process is given by $\text{K}(n)=n^{-3/2}\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(n)$ where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ is a slowly varying function, has been left partially open. In this paper, we give a complete answer to the question by proving a simple necessary and sufficient criterion on the return probability for disorder relevance, which confirms earlier predictions from the literature. Moreover, we also provide sharp asymptotics on the critical point shift: in the case of the pinning of a one-dimensional simple random walk, the shift of the critical point satisfies the following high temperature asymptotics $$\begin{eqnarray}\lim _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\rightarrow 0}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}^{2}\log h_{c}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})=-\frac{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}}{2}.\end{eqnarray}$$ This gives a rigorous proof to a claim of Derrida, Hakim and Vannimenus (J. Stat. Phys. 66 (1992), 1189–1213).

Abstract:

Abstract The paper considers some issues related to different approaches to estimation of transport and logistic(s) operations in supply networks; analysis is made of the methods and models of analytical description of those operations; it is shown that the works under consideration have no single approach to their accounting, which makes it impossible to form a model of a simple logistic network including such basic operations as transportation and storage; based on the classical model of Harris-Wilson, six versions have been obtained for a simple supply network showing, in particular, value added to the product price stemming from the previously performed logistic operations as well as restrictions associated with the load capacity (cargo capacity) of the vehicle. The choice of an optimum version of the supply network is made based on the criterion of minimum total costs; there are supplied the examples of calculations for different versions of the developed models enabling estimation of the influence of transport and logistic operations on the efficiency of the supply network.

Abstract:

A review is given of Monte Carlo simulations for the phase transition in simple cubic Ising ferro-, ferri-, and antiferromagnets with quenched non-magnetic impurities of concentration x. Special emphasis is given on the description of a fully vectorized multispin coding program and on the problems related to the analysis of the Monte Carlo data. The following three subjects are discussed: 1) For ferro- and antiferromagnets, the critical behaviour of the order parameter is different from the one of the corresponding pure system, in agreement with the prediction of the Harris criterion. The possibly effective exponent β depends on x, whereas for ferrimagnets no such concentration dependence is revealed by the present study for x=0, 0.1, and 0.2.2) For strongly diluted systems, there is a maximum for the Kouvel-Fisher exponent γ(T) of the order-parameter susceptibility outside the critical regime, in accordance with the predictions of the correlated molecular field theory. 3) For the diluted antiferromagnet (x=0.5), a cusp emerges at T c for the uniform susceptibility, in agreement with the theory of Fishman and Aharony.

Abstract:

Current theories of occupational status conceptualize it as either a function of cultural esteem or the symbolic aspect of the class structure. Based on Weber’s definition of status as rooted in either cultural or class conditions, we argue that a consistent operationalization of occupational status must account for both of these dimensions. Using quantitative measures of cultural sentiments for occupational identities, we use affect control theory to model the network deference relations across occupations. We calculate a measure of the extent to which one occupational actor deferring to another is incongruent with cultural expectations for all possible combinations of 304 occupational titles. Because high-status actors are less likely to defer to low-status actors, the degree to which these events violate cultural expectations provides an indicator of the relative status position of different occupations. We assess the construct validity of our new deference score measure using Harris Poll data. Deference scores are more predictive of status rankings from poll data than are occupational prestige scores. We establish criterion validity using five theoretically relevant workplace outcomes: subjective work attachment, job satisfaction, general happiness, the importance of meaningful work, and perceived respect at work.

Abstract:

The problem of the branch annihilation random walks (BAW) in energetic disordered structure is introduced and studied on the checkerboard lattice of one spatial and one temporal dimensions. The energy disorder we considered is the one used in the problem of directed polymer (DPO) at zero temperature including the external field F. The evolution rule of BAW is assigned to relate to the energy disorder. It is found that depending on the value of F, a variety of phases appear, and the crossover from the DPO state to the directed percolation (DPE) state occurs. When F > 0, the problem is reduced to the DPO problem at zero temperature. However, for F < 0, there exist three states, the inactive state for F c < F < 0, the active state for − 1 < F < F c , and the non-hopping state for F < -1, where F c is the threshold value from the inactive state to the active state. The phase transition at F c turns out to be in the DPE universality class. The robustness of the DPE universality is discussed by the Harris criterion.

Abstract:

Abstract. To understand the essential physics needed to reproduce magnetic reconnection events in 2.5-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we revisit the Geospace Environmental Modeling (GEM) setup. We set up a 2-D Harris current sheet (that also specifies the initial conditions) to evolve the reconnection of antiparallel magnetic fields. In contrast to the GEM setup, we use a much smaller initial perturbation to trigger the reconnection and evolve it more self-consistently. From PIC simulation data with high-quality particle statistics, we study a symmetric reconnection site, including separatrix layers, as well as the inflow and the outflow regions. The velocity distribution functions (VDFs) of electrons have a fine structure and vary strongly depending on their location within the reconnection setup. The goal is to start cataloging multidimensional fine-structured electron velocity distributions showing different reconnection processes in the Earth's magnetotail under various conditions. This will enable a direct comparison with observations from, e.g., the NASA Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission, to identify reconnection-related events. We find regions with strong non-gyrotropy also near the separatrix layer and provide a refined criterion to identify an electron diffusion region in the magnetotail. The good statistical significance of this work for relatively small analysis areas reveals the gradual changes within the fine structure of electron VDFs depending on their sampling site.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. The A-test was designed for assessment of functional recovery during early rehabilitation of patients in an orthopedic ward. This performance-based test consists of 10 items for assessing basic activities by a six level ordinal scale (0-5). Total scores can range from 0 to 50, i.e. from inability to perform any activity despite the help of therapists to complete independence and safety in performing all activities. The aim of this study was to examine the A-test validity. Methods. This prospective study was conducted in an orthopedic ward and included 120 patients [60 patients with hip osteoarthritis that underwent arthroplasty and 60 surgically treated patients with hip fracture (HF)] during early inpatient rehabilitation (1st-5th day). Validity was examined through 3 aspects: content validity - floor and ceiling effect, range, skewness; criterion validity - concurrent validity [correlation with the University of Iowa Level of Assistance Scale (ILAS) for patients with hip osteoarthritis, and with the Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS) for patients with HF, Spearman rank correlation] and predictive validity [the New Mobility Score (NMS) 4 weeks after surgery, Mann-Whitney U test]; construct validity - 4 hypotheses: 1) on the fifth day of rehabilitation in patients underwent arthroplasty due to hip osteoarthritis, the A-test results will strongly correlate with those of ILAS, while the correlation with the Harris hip score will be less strong; 2) in patients with HF, the A-test results will be significantly better in those with allowed weight bearing as compared to patients whom weight bearing is not allowed while walking; 3) results of the A-test will be significantly better in patients with hip osetoarthritis than in those with HF; 4) the A-test results will be significantly better in patients younger than 65 years than in those aged 65 years and older. Results. The obtained results were: low floor (1%) and ceiling (2%) effect, range 0-50, skewness 0.57, strong correlation with ILAS for the patients with hip osteoarthritis (r = -0.97, p = 0.000) and with CAS for the patients with hip fracture (r = 0.91, p = 0.000) The patients with the A-test score 35 and more on the fifth day of rehabilitation (n = 46, Md = 4) had significantly higher NMS rank 4 weeks after surgery than the patients with the A-test score less than 35 (n = 59, Md = 2), (U = 379, z = -6.47, p = 0.000, r = 0.63). All 4 hypotheses were confirmed. Conclusion. The A-test is simple and valid instrument for everyday evaluation of pace and degree of functional recovery during early rehabilitation of patients surgically treated in an orthopedic ward.

Full text

Abstract:

A new solution to overcome the constraints of multimodality medical intra-subject image registration is proposed, using the mutual information (MI) of image histogram-oriented gradients as a new matching criterion. We present a rigid, multi-modal image registration algorithm based on linear transformation and oriented gradients for the alignment of T2-weighted (T2w) images (as a fixed reference) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (b-values of 500 and 1250 s/mm2) as floating images of three patients to compensate for the motion during the acquisition process. Diffusion MRI is very sensitive to motion, especially when the intensity and duration of the gradient pulses (characterized by the b-value) increases. The proposed method relies on the whole brain surface and addresses the variability of anatomical features into an image stack. The sparse features refer to corners detected using the Harris corner detector operator, while dense features use all image pixels through the image histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) as a measure of the degree of statistical dependence between a pair of registered images. HOG as a dense feature is focused on the structure and extracts the oriented gradient image in the x and y directions. MI is used as an objective function for the optimization process. The entropy functions and joint entropy function are determined using the HOGs data. To determine the best image transformation, the fiducial registration error (FRE) measure is used. We compare the results against the MI-based intensities results computed using a statistical intensity relationship between corresponding pixels in source and target images. Our approach, which is devoted to the whole brain, shows improved registration accuracy, robustness, and computational cost compared with the registration algorithms, which use anatomical features or regions of interest areas with specific neuroanatomy. Despite the supplementary HOG computation task, the computation time is comparable for MI-based intensities and MI-based HOG methods.

Full text

Abstract:

Rolling bearings are frequently used machine elements in mechanical assemblies to connect rotating parts. Resource efficiency and reliability enhancement are considered to be important factors of rolling bearing development. One of the ways to meet these requirements is the tailored forming (TF) technology, which enables the functionalization of several metal layer composites in a single component. The so-called hybrid machine elements can be produced by co-extrusion of aluminum and steel and subsequent die forging, heat treatment, and machining. The TF rolling bearings made by this process can provide optimized characteristics that use aluminum to reduce weight and steel for a highly loaded contact zone between a rolling element and a bearing raceway. To evaluate the applicability and the potential of this technology, theoretical investigations are presented in this paper. The stress distribution under fully flooded conditions, caused by an external load in the contact between a rolling element and the TF outer ring of an angular contact ball bearing, is analyzed statically with the finite element method. The fatigue life of the TF component can be calculated for different external axial loads and manufacturing parameters, such as steel-to-aluminum volume ratios and osculation. As a damage model, the Ioannides and Harris fatigue model and the Dang Van multiaxial fatigue criterion were used. The results show that the fatigue life has high sensitivity to the steel-to-aluminum volume ratio. For the hybrid component with a steel layer thickness of 3 mm, 90 percent of the fatigue life of pure 100Cr6 steel bearing bushings is reached. In this FE model, residual stresses due to machining processes can be regarded as an initial state, which can increase the fatigue life of this TF machine component.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: The aim of this study is to affirm the importance of operative treatment of severe dysplastic coxarthrosis through analysis of the results of implantation of total cementless endo-prothesis in patients with DDH Crowe types III and IV. Patients and methods: This retrospective study involved 28 patients (30 hips) with dysplastic coxart-hrosis, in whom an implantation of cementless total hip endoprothesis was performed at the University Clinic for Orthopaedic Surgery in Skopje. In 26 of the patients the involvement was unilateral and in two patients it was bilateral. The inclusion criterion was radiographically proved severe hip dysplasia Crowe types III and IV. Twenty-one of the patients were female and 7 male, and age distribution was in an interval from 30 to 65 years. The ingrowth of the implant was evaluated using the clinical method, native radiographs and radioisotopic examination with Tc99m. The follow-up period lasted 5 years, and the results were evaluated using the Harris hip score system. Results: 19 of the patients presented an excellent result of the operative treatment, there were 8 good results with persistent local pain 6 months postoperatively, in one case a surgical revision and reimplantation of the acetabular cup was performed, while one patient underwent a surgical revision and reimplantation of the femoral stem and in another patient there was nonunion at the place of the subtrochanteric osteotomy. Full weight-bearing without the use of crutches was achieved 3 months postoperatively, and no serious early postoperative complications were registered in our patients. Discussion and conclusions: In the majority of cases in whom a total hip replacement with cemen-tless endoprothesis is performed because of dysplastic coxarthrosis, a sufficient primary fixation both of the acetabular and the femoral component is achieved, unless one-third of the acetabular cup is left uncovered with bone stock. The problems of decreased muscle strength and limping are usually solved by means of physical therapy in a time period of 45 months.

The criteria are based on drift conditions involving stopping times rather than deterministic steps.

They also posed an open problem of finding criteria involving stopping times. Our results essentially solve that problem.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to develop new and useful criteria for partitioning reference values into subgroups applicable to gaussian distributions and to distributions that can be transformed to gaussian distributions. Methods: The proposed criteria relate to percentages of the subgroups outside each of the reference limits of the combined distribution. Critical values suggested as partitioning criteria for these percentages were derived from analytical bias quality specifications for using common reference intervals throughout a geographic area. As alternative partitioning criteria to the actual percentages, these were transformed mathematically to critical distances between the reference limits of the subgroup distributions, to be applied to each pair of reference limits, the upper and the lower, at a time. The new criteria were tested using data on various plasma proteins collected from ∼500 reference individuals, and the outcomes were compared with those given by the currently widely applied and recommended partitioning model of Harris and Boyd, the “Harris-Boyd model”. Results: We suggest 4.1% as the critical minimum percentage outside that would justify partitioning into subgroups, and 3.2% as the critical maximum percentage outside that would justify combining them. Percentages between these two values should be classified as marginal, implying that nonstatistical considerations are required to make the final decision on partitioning. The correlation between the critical percentages and the critical distances was mathematically precise in the new model, whereas this correlation is rather approximate in the Harris-Boyd model because focus on the difference between means in this model makes high precision hard to achieve. The application examples suggested that the new model is more radical than the Harris-Boyd model. Conclusions: New percentage and distance criteria, to be used for partitioning gaussian-distributed data, have been developed. The distance criteria, applied separately to both reference limit pairs of the subgroup distributions, seemed more reliable and correlated more accurately with the critical percentages than the distance criteria of the Harris-Boyd model. As opposed to the Harris-Boyd model, the new model is easily adjustable to new critical values of the percentages, should they need to be changed in the future.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:This study is the first attempt to link quantified phenylthiocarbamide bitter taste recognition threshold with susceptibility to motion sickness.Subjects:The study was conducted on a sample of 291 teenage Rajput children (146 males and 145 females; age range 13–19 years) from the Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Phenylthiocarbamide taste sensitivity was measured by administering a serial dilution of a freshly prepared phenylthiocarbamide solution, following the method of Harris and Kalmus. Motion sickness susceptibility was assessed retrospectively via interview.Results:About 40 per cent of the subjects had experienced motion sickness in the past. The mean and standard deviation of phenylthiocarbamide taste thresholds in non-tasters and tasters were 0.83 ± 0.87 and 7.98 ± 1.86, respectively. A bimodal distribution test (D/S) index of 5.24 confirmed bimodality of phenylthiocarbamide taste threshold distribution. The Mann–Whitney U test rejected the null hypothesis of μ1 = μ2 and thus confirmed the existence of differences in the distributions of phenylthiocarbamide taste threshold between individuals susceptible and not susceptible to motion sickness. Individuals susceptible to motion sickness had lower mean and median taste thresholds, indicating higher phenylthiocarbamide taste sensitivity, compared with non-susceptible individuals. The frequency of non-tasters was about 10 per cent in both motion sickness susceptible and non-susceptible individuals. The simple division of phenylthiocarbamide tasting ability into tasters and non-tasters was a less sensitive criterion with which to measure the association of this ability with motion sickness susceptibility. However, further differentiation of tasters into weak threshold, medium threshold and super threshold (‘supersensitive’) tasters clearly revealed a highly significantly increased risk of motion sickness in super threshold tasters (i.e. threshold solution number ≥12). The ratio of motion sickness susceptible individuals to non-susceptible individuals was 1:1.7 for non-tasters (threshold solution numbers zero to three) and weak and medium tasters (threshold solution numbers four to 11), but the trend was reversed for super threshold tasters (threshold solution numbers 12 and 13), in whom the ratio was 2:1.Conclusion:Individuals exhibiting greater phenylthiocarbamide taste acuity (i.e. supersensitive tasters) had a higher susceptibility to motion sickness than did non-, weak and medium phenylthiocarbamide tasters, as measured in terms of their taste thresholds (i.e. threshold solution numbers zero to 11).

Abstract:

In this paper we connect various topological and probabilistic forms of stability for discrete-time Markov chains. These include tightness on the one hand and Harris recurrence and ergodicity on the other. We show that these concepts of stability are largely equivalent for a major class of chains (chains with continuous components), or if the state space has a sufficiently rich class of appropriate sets (‘petite sets'). We use a discrete formulation of Dynkin's formula to establish unified criteria for these stability concepts, through bounding of moments of first entrance times to petite sets. This gives a generalization of Lyapunov–Foster criteria for the various stability conditions to hold. Under these criteria, ergodic theorems are shown to be valid even in the non-irreducible case. These results allow a more general test function approach for determining rates of convergence of the underlying distributions of a Markov chain, and provide strong mixing results and new versions of the central limit theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm.

Abstract:

In recent years, with the development of the automobile industry and urban traffic, the pollution of road traffic noise in Harbin has become more and more deleterious. After a detailed survey, it was found that the study about the situation of traffic noise pollution in Harbin was less and the result of evaluation was not accurate enough. In addition, the monitoring spots selected were so many that the workload was too heavy. Aim at this phenomenon, a new and comprehensive monitor on road traffic noise in Harbin and evaluation studies was done. The research was according to the state standards. The selected 35 road sections, the source of traffic noise and the state of traffic noise in Harbin and the state of traffic noise pollution were monitored detailed. The temporal and spatial distribution analysis on the source of traffic noise pollution in Harbin was carried out according to the monitoring datum. Through the monitoring safety analysis and overall character analysis on the state of road traffic noise, it was educed the phenomena of road traffic noise was serious pollution in Harbin. The mean value of equivalent continuous sound pressure level was 72.5dB, exceed state criterion about 2.5dB. Traffic noise of region was concluded that Daowai district>Daoli district>Xiangfang district>Nangang district by the traffic noise monitoring and safety analysis. Finally, the researchers found out the main factors which influence the state of road traffic conditions in Harbin based on the previous studies, and provided the countermeasures to reduce the noise.

AbstractThis article examines how local resistance against government attempts to reduce poverty to a technical problem ironically reinforces the precarious state of the poor. It looks at the workings of the minimum livelihood guarantee (dibao) through mundane interactions between street-level officials and poor residents in a workers' village on the periphery of Harbin. As the party-state's primary policy for urban poverty,dibaohas introduced a new rationality that poverty is calculable and flexible. Urban laid-off workers have resisted this by invoking the socialist claim that they are “the people.” I examine how this resistance has led street-level officials to be preoccupied with the old socialist norm of “an ability to work” rather than with “income” asdibao's official criterion. The new local criterion has produced the ironic effect that urban laid-off workers, who were understood to bedibao's main target, have been mostly excluded from the scheme.
