to have a systematic method of dealing with them. In this paper I consider the effect of ties on coefficients of rank correlation, the estimation of rankings and the measurement of concordance in judges. RANK CORRELATIONS 2. The method of allocating ranking numbers to tied individuals in general use

Angiosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy of endothelial differentiation. Potential roles of the endothelial angiopoietin-tunica internal endothelial cell kinase (ANGPT-TIE) system in angiosarcoma diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis and treatment are undefined. To examine the expression

in different functional regions; therefore, it is striking that many of these diseases have similar correlations between their genotype, namely the number of inherited repeats and age of onset and progression phenotype. These correlations remain unexplained despite more than a decade of research. Although

Cells rapidly alter gene expression in response to environmental stimuli such as nutrients, hormones, and drugs. During the imposed ‘‘remodeling’ ’ of gene expression, changes in the levels of particular mRNAs do not necessarily correlate with those of the encoded proteins, which could in part rely

. A device utilizing an optical image correlation technique has been developed to accurately quantify bracket slot dimensional changes during application of wire torsion. Simultaneous torque moment magnitude, degrees of wire twist, and bracket slot dimension data can be gathered. Bracket tie wing

Double photoionization of an atom caused by the absorption of a single photon, the so-called double photoeffect, is a fundamental phenomenon, in which correlation effects play a crucial role. Since the photon interacts only with a single electron, the simultaneous ejection of two electrons

4-Aminophenol (4-AP), D-serine, and cisplatin are established rodent nephrotoxins that damage proximal tubules within the renal cortex. Using high throughput 2D gel proteomics to profile protein changes in the plasma of compound-treated animals, we identified several markers of kidney toxicity

ties in our cohort may be due to the high proportion of CT in irradiated patients. Furthermore, modest significant associations were found between the extent of radiologic cerebral abnormalities and cognitive performance. Apparently, not only white matter abnormalities 7 but also cerebral atrophy

nephritis may affect all compartments of the kidney, glomer-ular involvement is the best-studied component and correlates well with the presentation, course, and treatment of the disease.4 The 2004 modifications in the current International Society of Ne-phrology (ISN)/Renal Pathology Society classification

as com-pared with intermittent dialysis offers great ap-peal in that it might be possible to obviate the major fluctuations in the uremic state inherent in intermittent dialysis. Further, if continuous dialy-sis were sufficiently effective in removing meta-bolic wastes, as well as in correcting
