On the ‘most normal’ normal

Communications in Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2007
AbstractGiven a set of normals in ℛ3, two algorithms are presented to compute the ‘most normal’ normal. The ‘most normal’ normal is the normal that minimizes the maximal angle with the given set of normals. A direct application is provided supposing a surface triangulation is available.

The Group Structure of the Normalizer of Γ0(N) After Atkin–Lehner [PDF]

Communications in Algebra, 2008
We determine the group structure of the normalizer of Γ0 (N) in SL2(R) modulo Γ0 (N). These results correct the Atkin-Lehner statement (Atkin and Lehner, 1970, Theorem 8)

Amblyopia: The Normal Eye is Not Normal

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1990
ABSTRACT When acuity was used to evaluate amblyopia in children, the amblyopic eye had decreased acuity and the nonamblyopic eye had normal acuity. However when Contrast Sensitivity Functions (CSFs) were used to evaluate amblyopia, losses in the CSF were discovered in both the amblyopic and the nonamblyopic eyes.

To normalize or not to normalize? Fat is the question

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1995
Abstract Concentrations of lipophilic contaminants in biota are frequently corrected for variation in tissue lipid content. Usually, this correction is accomplished by dividing tissue contaminant concentration by lipid concentration to form lipid-normalized data.

KEEPING NORMAL LABOR NORMAL

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2000
Labor and delivery have been viewed by physicians as processes that can and must be managed by physicians for their pregnant patients. This article asserts that most births do not need to be interventionally managed and that a birth attendant's highest order skill is knowing when and how not to intervene.

Can normal be more normal than normal?

Critical Care Medicine, 2010
To the Editor:We read with great interest the elegant study of Dr. Boerma et al (1) evaluating the effects of nitroglycerin on sublingual microcirculation in septic patients. However, we have serious concerns about the data analysis, which precludes definitive conclusions on the effectiveness, or ...

Normal Scores, Normal Plots Tests for Normality

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1996
Abstract In this article we develop new plotting positions for normal plots. The use of the plots usually centers on detecting irregular tail behavior or outliers. Along with the normal plot, we develop tests for various departures from normality, especially for skewness and heavy tails.

Finite Groups with Normal Normalizers

Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1968
We say that a finite group G has property N if the normalizer of every subgroup of G is normal in G. Such groups are nilpotent since every Sylow subgroup is normal (the normalizer of a Sylow subgroup is its own normalizer). Thus it is sufficient to study p-groups which have property N. Note that property N is inherited by subgroups and factor groups.

Normal development

2016
Numerous events are involved in brain development, some of which are detected by neuroimaging. Major changes in brain morphology are depicted by brain imaging during the fetal period while changes in brain composition can be demonstrated in both pre- and postnatal periods.
