This is the first of a pair of beautifully printed paperbound volumes I discovered among my books now in 2005. When and how did I get them? I can only guess. There is a $9 price tag on each from Kinokuniya with a San Jose telephone number. Were they perhaps a gift of Rafael Sakurai? As for the book itself, its dust-jacket has beautifully colored Ulm woodcuts of The Hawk and the Pigeons and of the man chopping down a tree (to get an axe-handle, I presume), with half of a beautiful peacock on the spine. Inside, the book moves from what we would call the back to the front with a succession of beautiful Ulm images, starting with FG on 11 and recurring every four to eight pages. The beginning T of C indicates that there are one-hundred-and-eighty-four fables on 221 pages. What a lovely pair of books!Language note: JapaneseLee Coope

Aesop's Fables Coloring Book
Here is the third generation of Dover's lovely coloring book. The price has gone up from 2.50 to $2.75. It will go up at least once more in my history of collecting it. As I mentioned about the original publication, the book is valuable because of the nicely enlarged and clear Ulm drawings. The format seems unchanged from that in the second generation
Two Survival Tree Models for Myocardial Infarction Patients
In the search of a better prognostic survival model for post-acute myocardial infarction patients, the scientists at the Technical University of Munich's "Klinikum rechts der Isar" and the German Heart Center in Munich have developed some new parameters using 24-hour ECG (Schmidt et al 1999). A series of investigations were done using these parameters on different data sets and the Cox-PH model (Schmidt et al 1999, Ulm et al 2000). This paper is a response to the discussion paper by Ulm et al (2000), which suggests a Cox model for calculating the risk stratification of the MPIP data set patients including the predictors ejection fraction and heart rate turbulence. The current paper suggests the use of the classification and regression trees technique for survival data in order to deduct a survival stratification model for the NIRVPIP data set. Two models are compared: one contains the variables suggested by Ulm et al (2000) the other model has two additional variables, namely presence of couplets and number of extra systolic beats in the longest salvo of the patient's 24-hour ECG. The second model is shown to be an improvement on the first one

This is the second of a pair of beautifully printed paperbound volumes I discovered among my books now in 2005. When and how did I get them? I can only guess. There is a $9 price tag on each from Kinokuniya with a San Jose telephone number. Were they perhaps a gift of Rafael Sakurai? As for the book itself, its dust-jacket has beautifully colored Ulm woodcuts of the eagle carrying the tortoise and the wolves asking the shepherd to get rid of the dogs, with the second half of a beautiful peacock on the spine. Inside, the book moves from what we would call the back to the front with a succession of beautiful Ulm images, starting with LM on 11 and recurring every four to twelve pages. The beginning T of C seems to indicate that there are one-hundred-and-seventy-two fables on 223 pages, followed by an essay on Aesop on 224, complete with both Ulm's title-picture and Velasquez' painting of Aesop. On 229, there is an indication of Chambry's 1960 edition, and that may well be what is translated here. What a lovely pair of books!Language note: JapaneseLee Coope
Dover Pictorial Archive Series
Here is the fourth generation of Dover's lovely coloring book. The price has gone up from 2.50 to $2.75 to 2.95. As I mentioned about the original publication, the book is valuable because of the nicely enlarged and clear Ulm drawings. The format finds a bar code added on the bottom right-hand of the back cover with the ISBN printed in relation to it. The verso of the title-page also adds Canadian and UK publishers and notes the inclusion of the work in Dover's Pictorial Archive Series
