A new interview schedule for the diagnosis and measurement of dementia in elderly is described. The named Cambridge Mental Disorders Elderly Examination (CAMDEX), consists three main sections: (1) structured clinical Interview with patient to obtain systematic information about present state, past history family history; (2) a range objective cognitive tests which constitute minineuropsychological battery; (3) relative or other Informant Independent Information respondent's history. CAMDEX...

Regional frequency analysis is often used to reduce the uncertainty in estimation of distribution parameters and quantiles. In this paper a regional peaks‐over‐threshold model introduced that can be analyze precipitation extremes changing climate. We use temporally varying threshold, which determined by quantile regression for each site separately. The marginal distributions excesses are described generalized Pareto (GPD). these may vary over time their spatial variation modeled index flood...

Projections of extreme precipitation are great importance, considering the potential severe impacts on society. In this study a recently developed regional, non-stationary peaks-over-threshold approach is applied to two transient simulations RACMO2 regional climate model for period 1950–2100, driven by different general circulation models. The reduces estimation uncertainty compared at-site approaches. selection threshold tackled from new perspective, taking advantage setting. Further,...
A hurdle in the peaks-over-threshold approach for analyzing extreme values is selection of threshold. method developed to reduce this obstacle presence multiple, similar data samples. This instance case many environmental applications. The idea combine threshold methods into a regional method. Regionalized versions stability and mean excess plot are presented as graphical tools selection. Moreover, quantitative approaches based on bootstrap distribution spatially averaged Kolmogorov–Smirnov...
Abstract Rainfall extremes are thought to have increased over recent years. Typically linear trends been considered describe the temporal evolution of high quantiles daily rainfall distribution. For long records it is important allow more flexibility. Quantile regression methods available estimate monotone for single stations. Having multiple stations in a region, significance trend at regional scale often interest. From this perspective authors propose approach that can be used common...
Abstract The maintenance of the recombinant plasmid pIJ2 in chemostat cultures Streptomyces lividans 66 ( ) was investigated. presence coding for a neomycin phosphotransferase detected by plating samples from continuous on nonselective and selective agar medium containing neomycin. lost host strain under all conditions tested. However, kinetics segregation populations were dependent growth‐limiting substrate medium, dilution rate culture cultivation temperature. Size differences between...
Abstract The formation of soil organic matter (SOM) has been proposed to depend on fragmentation biomass after cell death. However, this is hard mimic in laboratory experiments showing the process directly. We used heavy metal contamination order provide an environment which one Streptomyces strain, resistant S. mirabilis P16B‐1, could survive while sensitive strain lividans TK24 was expected die and disintegrate; necromass fragments would then contribute SOM formation. Both strains were...
The relationship between anxiety state and depressive illness has been debated for many years. On clinical grounds, Mapother (1926) Lewis (1966) expressed the view that various forms of states merge imperceptibly into one another, while Garmany (1956, 1958) Stenback (1963) considered they were fundamentally different disorders. Gurney, Roth Garside (1970) showed two conditions differ significantly in respect a large number biographical, personality indices. They also demonstrated disorders...
