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 ...

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 ...

Bounds for distribution functions of sums of squares and radial errors
Bounds are found for the distribution function of the sum of squares X2 + Y2 where X and Y are arbitrary continuous random variables. The techniques employed, which utilize copulas and their properties, show that the bounds are pointwise best‐possible when X and Y are symmetric about 0 and yield expressions which can be evaluated explicitly when X and ...

Inequalities for Walsh like random variables
Let be a sequence of mean zero independent random variables. Let , and let [Yk] be the linear span of Yk. Assume δ ≤ |Xn| ≤ K for some δ > 0 and K > 0 and let for 1 < p < ∞. We show that for f ∈ [Ym] the following inequalities hold: and ‖f‖2 ≤ C(4,m)2‖f‖1 ≤ C(4,m)2‖f‖2. These generalize various well known inequalities on Walsh functions.

A Note on the Portfolio Selection Problem
In this note we provide new results of interest in the portfolio choice problem when the risky opportunities are correlated: for a general vector (X 1 , X 2 ,..., X n ) of risky opportunities we give new conditions for stochastic comparison among ...

Background — Anal sac impaction is common in dogs and manual expression may be effective, yet recurrence remains a problem. To facilitate physiological emptying of the sacs, it is important to maintain a bulky stool consistency. Objectives — The study evaluated if supplementation with ProGlan, a complementary feed containing Bacillus velezensis C‐3102 ...

Moments inequalities of aging families of distributions with hypotheses testing applications
Nonparametric families of aging distributions have been the subject of investigation for more than three decades. Both probabilistic and statistical properties of these distributions were studied for such families as increasing failure rate , new ...

A probabilistic inequality related to negative definite functions
. We prove that for any pair of i.i.d. random vectors , in ℝ and any real-valued continuous negative definite function : ℝ → ℝ the inequality ( − ) ⩽ ( + ). holds. In particular, for ∈ (0, 2] and the Euclidean norm ∥ ⋅ ∥2 one has The latter inequality is
