Washington START Transportation Model
No full textThe document describes the Washington START transportation simulation model. In particular, it provides information about the model structure, the equilibrium concept, and the data used to calibrate the model. It also briefly describes the reference scenario and the elasticity analysis. Finally, the document discusses past and potential future applications and possible directions for model extensions.transportation simulation, policy analysis, general equilibrium, travel demand, transportation network, mode of transportation
Sensitivity and specificity of a multi-antigen ELISA test for the serological diagnosis of tuberculosis
No full textA new serological assay (DETECT-TB, BioChem ImmunoSystems), using three recombinant proteins and two synthetic peptides for the detection of the anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis IgG, was evaluated using a panel of serum specimens collected from 100 tuberculosis (TB) patients and 270 controls, in comparison with a homemade ELISA test using purified protein derivative (PPD) as antigen. DETECT-TB presented a higher sensitivity (75%) compared to PPD-ELISA (56%; P < 0.01), while the specificity of each assay was similar (DETECT-TB 97%; PPD-ELISA 100%; P > 0.80). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis obtained with these data confirmed the higher level of performance of DETECT-TB in comparison with PPD-ELISA. Considering the rapidity, cost-effectiveness and simplicity of this assay, its use may provide useful clinical information aiding in the rapid diagnosis of difficult TB cases

Figure 7 in Cranial anatomy of Paleocene and Eocene Labidolemur kayi (Mammalia: Apatotheria), and the relationships of the Apatemyidae to other mammals
No full textFigure 7. Ventral view of the rostral portion of USNM 530208: (A) labelled; (B) unlabelled. There is some damage to the premaxillary–maxillary suture on the palate, which is why it has not been traced onto the ventral surface of the specimen. The left side of this specimen has been pushed towards the right side, and the fragment of palatine (pa) has been pushed somewhat rostrally onto the maxilla, so that other sutures are not clearly visible in this view. Dental homologies follow Gingerich & Rose (1982), and are based on patterns of occlusion. See Table 1 for abbreviations.
