Frailty models are now widely used for analyzing multivariate survival data. An open question is how best to determine how to select the most
appropriate frailty structure supported by the data. Herein, we develop a ...

The influence of an external magnetic field on the rest potential ΔE0 of ferromagnetic and nonferromagnetic electrodes is studied. The shift E0 is measured as a function of magnetic field magnitude and direction, pH, ...
The purpose of this thesis was to determine how shaft length affects golf driving
performance. Shaft length effects on the golf swing have been of interest to several
researchers (including Egret et al., 2003; Reyes and ...

Investigations have been carried out on the role of the binder in screen printed Fe2O3/ZnO
thick film sensors for gas and vapour analysis. These sensors were prepared by mixing a polymer
binder and carbon black with a ...

The recognition of brachial plexus injury (BPI) after childbirth suggests to parents a causative rather than temporal relationship. This view is supported by textbooks of paediatrics, which state that: 1. the mechanism ...
Since the opening of a temporary ice-rink in our hospital's catchment area, we have observed an increase in patients requiring in-patient treatment for orthopaedic intervention. The authors performed a prospective analysis ...
Rheumatoid arthritis presents many challenges to those involved in its management. Concerns
exist over the safety of interventions aimed at increasing aerobic capacity and muscle strength.
The objective of this review ...
