Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Strengthened inequalities for the mean width and the ℓ‐norm
Abstract Barthe proved that the regular simplex maximizes the mean width of convex bodies whose John ellipsoid (maximal volume ellipsoid contained in the body) is the Euclidean unit ball; or equivalently, the regular simplex maximizes the ℓ‐norm of convex bodies whose Löwner ellipsoid (minimal volume ellipsoid containing the body) is the Euclidean unit

From Hardy to Rellich inequalities on graphs
Abstract We show how to deduce Rellich inequalities from Hardy inequalities on infinite graphs. Specifically, the obtained Rellich inequality gives an upper bound on a function by the Laplacian of the function in terms of weighted norms. These weights involve the Hardy weight and a function which satisfies an eikonal inequality.

A note on stochastic dominance, uniform integrability and lattice properties
Abstract In this work, we discuss completeness for the lattice orders of first and second order stochastic dominance. The main results state that both first‐ and second‐order stochastic dominance induce Dedekind super complete lattices, that is, lattices in which every bounded nonempty subset has a countable subset with identical least upper bound and ...

Sectorial convergence of U-statistics [PDF]
In this note we show that almost sure convergence to zero of symmetrized U-statistics indexed by a linear sector in Z^d_+ is equivalent to convergence along the diagonal of Z^d_+, as it is considered in Lata\la and Zinn [Ann. Probab. 28 (2000) 1908-1924].

Partial stochastic dominance for the multivariate Gaussian distribution [PDF]
Gaussian comparison inequalities provide a way of bounding probabilities relating to multivariate Gaussian random vectors in terms of probabilities of random variables with simpler correlation structures.

Exponential inequalities for nonstationary Markov chains
Exponential inequalities are main tools in machine learning theory. To prove exponential inequalities for non i.i.d random variables allows to extend many learning techniques to these variables.

Some estimations on continuous random variables for (k, s) −fractional integral operators
In this work, we establish some new (k, s) −fractional integral inequalities of continuous random variables by using the (k, s) −Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator.
