AbstractMatérn hard-core processes are classical examples for point processes obtained by dependent thinning of (marked) Poisson point processes. We present a generalization of the Matérn models which encompasses recent extensions of the original Matérn hard-core processes. It generalizes the underlying point process, the thinning rule, and the marks attached to the original process. Based on our model, we introduce processes with a clear interpretation in the context of max-stable processes. In particular, we prove that one of these processes lies in the max-domain of attraction of a mixed moving maxima process.

Surgical process re-engineering is a methodology where the entire surgical process is systematically analysed and re-designed. The process starts with mapping of the current process followed by in-depth analysis of the existing process. A new process is drafted with the aim of making the whole procedure more efficient. The new process is then discussed with all the staff involved in the operating room. Following implementation of the process, surgical process re-engineering should ideally be routinely carried out to continuously improve the procedure. We present an example of surgical process re-engineering which we carried out on the procedure of carpal tunnel release. We used carpal tunnel release as a model as it is a very common operation, with predictable intra-operative findings, and the patient is likely to benefit directly from procedure time reduction. A preliminary mapping of three procedures was done followed by a detailed timed mapping of five routine carpal tunnel decompression procedures. The mapped process was analysed in detail and a number of changes were made in the process. After implementing the new process, a further five procedures were mapped and timed again. In comparison to the original process, we achieved a reduction of 20% in the mean procedure time and a reduction of 42% in the number of steps from 66 to 37.

Formulas for anisotropic stereology of fibre and surface processes are presented. They concern the relation between second-order quantities of the original process and its projections and sections. Various mathematical tools for handling these formulas are presented, including stochastic optimization. Finally applications in stereology are discussed, relating to intensity estimators using anisotropic sampling designs. Variances of these estimators are expressed and evaluated for processes with the Poisson property.

AbstractThis paper highlights the significance of embodied, non-representational knowledge for understanding nature as a process (rather than a state). It begins by discussing Alfred North Whitehead's "first philosophy", out of which arises his profoundly original process ontology. Working from this alternative ontology, the paper then extends these insights "up" to the realms of knowledge, practice, and the corporeal poetics of everyday life. In doing this, discussion centers on what the author refers to as an ecological politics of everyday life. The paper concludes by briefly discussing a case where such a politics of the flesh is already underway.

Abstract While different biosynthetic groups of secondary metabolites (micromolecules) rarely accumulate in the same plant species, one such group may replace another in morphologically related taxa. The use of micromolecules as general systematic markers of the plant kingdom thus requires unifying postulates concerning their evolution patterns. Two such postulates — contraction of the shikimate pathway and blocking of oxidative enzymes — are illustrated with the aid of systematic considerations on the genera Aniba (Lauraceae) and Derris-Lonchocarpus (Leguminosae) which involve besides chemistry, morphology, ecology and geography. Extrapolation of the principles applied in these examples to the entire plant kingdom seems possible, an important fact, due to the ecological implications of micromolecules. In this sense, the paper opens the way, rather than simply to a more "natural" classification, to an information retrieval device of ecologically relevant facts about plants.

There are many advantages in producing forklift box through the LFC. However, we found shrinkage porosity defects in the interior of castings through simulating the original process by ProCAST casting simulation software. Therefore, we analyzed the defects and improved the technology program. firstly, increased riser in position of shrinkage, Secondly, changed the filling’s way, lastly, selected the best temperature and vacuum by the orthogonal experiment and determined the best technology solution. we found the shrinkage porosity defects have been removed by the improved process. We found the production consistent with the simulation results through verification. Therefore we verify the accuracy of the ProCAST.

The Given

As an alternative to the embedding technique of T. E. Harris, S. Karlin and J. McGregor, we show that given a critical Galton–Watson process satisfying some mild assumptions, we can always construct a continuous-time Markov branching process having the same asymptotic behaviour as the given process. Thus, via the associated continuous process, additional information about the original process is obtained. We apply this technique to the study of extinction probabilities of a critical Galton–Watson process, and provide estimates for the extinction probabilities by regularly varying functions.

The clinical and bacteriological findings in two cows the udders of which became infected under natural conditions with hemolytic streptococci of the scarlet fever type are discussed. One of the cows was found in a herd supplying raw milk to a small town where a milkborne outbreak of scarlet fever had occurred a short time before. When small numbers of the streptococcus obtained from this case were injected into the udder of a normal cow severe mastitis accompanied by a well marked general reaction resulted. Evidence leads to the conclusion that a severe attack of mastitis due to this organism in one quarter does not sufficiently immunize the other quarters to protect them completely since the streptococcus can be readily implanted in them. The secondary infections were much milder than the original process.
