An application of normal mode theory to the retrieval of structural parameters and source mechanisms from seismic spectra
A cyclic process of refining models of the mechanical structure of the Earth and models of the mechanism of one or more earthquakes is developed. The theory of the elastic-gravi...
Rape Trauma Syndrome
The authors interviewed and followed 146 patients admitted during a one-year period to the emergency ward of a city hospital with a presenting complaint of having been raped. Ba...
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign: Results of an international guideline-based performance improvement program targeting severe sepsis*
The Campaign was associated with sustained, continuous quality improvement in sepsis care. Although not necessarily cause and effect, a reduction in reported hospital mortality ...
Willed action and the prefrontal cortex in man: a study with PET
We used positron emission tomography to contrast changes in cerebral blood flow associated with willed and routine acts. In the six tasks used, volunteers had to make a series o...
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the Data Release 9 spectroscopic galaxy sample
We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation\nSpectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III\n(SDSS-III). These use t...
Early Lactate-Guided Therapy in Intensive Care Unit Patients
In patients with hyperlactatemia on ICU admission, lactate-guided therapy significantly reduced hospital mortality when adjusting for predefined risk factors. As this was consis...
Precision photometry of early-type galaxies in the Coma and Virgo clusters: a test of the universality of the colour-magnitude relation - II. Analysis
We have undertaken a detailed comparison of the colours of early-type galaxies in the Virgo and Coma clusters. In Paper I (this issue), we presented our system of homogeneous U,...
The Influence of Hospital Volume on Survival after Resection for Lung Cancer
Patients who undergo resection for lung cancer at hospitals that perform large numbers of such procedures are likely to survive longer than patients who have such surgery at hos...
Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity With a 6-Minute Walk Test in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
<h3>Objective.</h3> —To study the potential usefulness of the 6-minute walk test, a self-paced submaximal exercise test, as a prognostic indicator in patients with left ventricu...
