Fifty-one teenage cases with anorexia nervosa (AN) were compared with 51 age-, sex-, and school-matched cases with respect to premorbid developmental, physical, and psychiatric problems and comorbidity at the time of examination. Almost half of the AN group consisted of the total population of AN cases in one birth cohort. There were more premorbid personality problems in the AN group. Obsessive c
The paper deals with domestic hot water circulation (DHWC) in residential buildings. Thermostatic circulation valves (TCV) of self-acting type can be used to assure proper temperature level in DHWC systems. A mathematic model of a DHWC system with TCV's in a 36 flat residential building is presented as well as results from steady-state and dynamic Simulations. The TCV design values used in simulat
A numerical investigation has been carried Out for the turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in periodic fully developed corrugated ducts. Three turbulence models are used in the calculation: the standard k - epsilon model, the Re-Normalized Group (RNG) k - epsilon model and a Reynolds Stress Model (RSM). The turbulent heat flux is modeled by the simple eddy diffusivity model (SED). The numerical
In this paper projective normalization and projective invariants of planar curves are discussed. It is shown that there exists continuous affine invariants. It is shown that many curves can be projected arbitrarily close to a circle in a strengthened Hausdorff metric. This does not infer any limitations on projective invariants, but it is clear that projective normalization by maximizing compactne
The focus of attention in this article is that of milieux as forges for creativity and renewal. Among the milieux presented are places, corporations and research institutions. The renewal discussed here includes art, architecture, music and literature as well as science and technology. The goal of this article is to identify characteristics of importance in environments where exceptionally creativ
The study of life in confined extreme environments to give guidance for issues and conditions for the design, development and production of objects on Earth. We use long term living in confined extreme environments as starting point for studies of product development concerning objects and living environments. By using the extreme environment as a backdrop for our studies we aim to achieve a labor
Recently, nonlinear properties of three-terminal ballistic junctions (TBJs) were predicted by theoretical calculations done by Xu, and potential applications such as rectification and logic function proposed. In that analysis the TBJ was modeled by connecting three quantum point contacts via a ballistic cavity with adiabatic boundaries, thus neglecting any backscattering of electrons. In this pape
The production cross sections of the inclusive Drell-Yan processes W-+/- -> l nu and Z/gamma* -> ll (l = e, mu) are measured in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector. The cross sections are reported integrated over a fiducial kinematic range, extrapolated to the full range, and also evaluated differentially as a function of the W decay lepton pseudorapidity and the Z b
The European crow (Corvus corone) occurs in two subspecies (or species) with distinct plumage coloration: the black carrion crow (C. c. corone) and the grey and black hooded crow (C. c. cornix). We tested 42 passerine microsatellite loci for amplification in the European crow and identified 20 loci that were both polymorphic and easy to score. In 50 individuals sampled in the Danish part of the sp
In this paper, we propose a new statistical model for noise periodogram modeling and estimation. The proposed model is a hidden Markov model (HMM) with a Rayleigh mixture model (RMM) in each state. For this new model, we derive an expectation-maxinuzation (EM) training algorithm and a minimum meansquare error (NIMSE) noise periodogram estimator. It is shown that when compared to the Gaussian mixtu
In the existing literature on welfare state typologies, the concept of the universal welfare state is not defined precisely enough to allow for comparisons of universality over time and between countries. In this paper, I discuss some problems with the way the term 'the universal welfare state' has been used and I suggest possible solutions. Among other things, I propose that the term 'universalit
Object detection in real images has attracted much attention during the last decade. Using machine learning and large databases it is possible to develop detectors for visual categories that have a very high hit-rate, with low false positive rates. In this paper we investigate a general probabilistic framework for context based scene interpretation using multiple detectors. Methods for finding max
Integrin alpha 10 beta 1 is a collagen-binding integrin expressed on chondrocytes. In order to unravel the role of the alpha 10 integrin during development, we generated mice carrying a constitutive deletion of the alpha 10 integrin gene. The mutant mice had a normal lifespan and were fertile but developed a growth retardation of the long bones. Analysis of the skeleton revealed defects in the gro
In this paper, the inverse scattering problem of amultilayer structure is analysed with the Fisher information matrix and the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB). The CRLB quantifies the ill-posedness of the inverse scattering problem in terms of resolution versus estimation accuracy based on the observation of noisy data. The limit for feasible inversion is identified by an asymptotic eigenvalue analys
