can someone write a little more about hashed array trees? i don't even understand why it's using a 2-dimensional array whose sub arrays are the same size as the main array 20:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: This does not discuss removing elements at all. Size reductions come after removing elements from the HAT; but when removing elements one-by-one, a global move must be done after each removal step, to make it directly addressable again (if not, chunks' fill levels must be kept track of, and access done by e.g. binary search which means O(log n) access time, not O(1) access time). 
Another, and related thing is, if no elements need ever be removed, there is no need for global reallocations at all. Powers-of-2 scheme may be abandoned and quotient&remainder used instead for access, still having O(1) access time, and growing the global size by simply adding another chunk to it (with some possible drawbacks on size overhead, but to re-balance that, the global reallocation could be made available as an explicit routine, to be called explicitly). The "directory" array will need to be reallocated on expansions, probably with powers-of-2 scheme, but it can be kept small in size itself with bigger chunks size. I don't know if that was ever published. Maybe in some language manual(s). WillNess (talk) 20:22, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Null cell

message: I think that some citations are seriously needed for this page. Also, because of the fact that there's a description of NK-cells, I think that it would be a good idea to either link that it it's own page, or also give a description of antigen dependent cytotoxic cells, and  lymphokine activated killer cells since they are also mentioned in this that there should be some sort of indication as to what they do. Another issue I found was that there was a statistic stating that in 75% of the cases of ALL, lymphocytes are Null cells rather than B or T-cells.

I don't understand what this is trying to communicate. It seems to me the options are:

•"At a distance, it looks like the Arc d'Trimuph [sp.], but there is a jarring note seen on the SW corner. Seen up close, the monument is a monster of concrete."
•or (least likely, but the meaning given how the sentence is currently written) "At a distance, it looks like the Arc d'Trimuph [sp.], but there is a jarring note seen on the SW corner that says 'Seen up close, the monument is a monster of concrete.'."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.70.143.134 (talk) 03:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

A modern critic, Mara L. Keire, suggests that Nascher expressed racist views in his Povertyville book.

Talk:Osteolysis

message: I am a 78 year old male in excellent health. I have had total hip replacements in both hips and now the cup in my first (left) replacement done July 30, 1996 at Columbian Presbitarian Hospital, NYC, is worn. 
MY surgeon who replaced my right hip 4 years ago will be taking care of my problem.
Although I have requested records from the hospital I am not sure they are available as the original surgeon is no longer practicing medicine.
I now question the procedure to correct the worn cup. Is this now a common procedure? Will the cup work properly with the original stem? What is the success rate of this procedure?
Thank you.

thread_title:  

message: In particular, the sentence "For example, a patient with this syndrome might sustain severe burns on contact with a hot stove, due to lacking the will to move away despite experiencing severe pain." I have read over a dozen journal articles on Athymhormia for a project I am doing and I have never seen anything at all that even approaches this as a description of Athymhormia. I notice this was added by "Dryman (talk | contribs) at 21:08, 15 August 2006 (rewrote article)." Dryman doesn't seem to be active now, or I would ask him for his source.
The closest I have seen to an athymhormia patient causing self-harm was a woman who laid out in the Sun for several hours which caused 2nd-degree sunburn. This is quite different from a hand on a hot plate. From everything I've read these patients have fully intact functioning automatic behaviors. These patients are mostly just missing "thoughtful" behaviors that are self-initiated. Pulling your hand off of a hot plate is clearly an automatic behavior which would be intact.
In fact, I could write a much better description of the condition, with references! Should I?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankH (talk • contribs) 05:20, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Carotid artery stenosis

message: I think there's an ambiguous (or possibly outright incorrect) statement about the efficacy of a surgery. Misinterpreting the statement could have serious consequences for someone making a decision, so this is important.
The main article says:
carotid endarterectomy by selected surgeons reduces the 5-year absolute incidence of all strokes or perioperative death by approximately 5%.
The way I read that sentence, it sounded like this:
If the incidence of stroke/death in the next 5 years is x, then the surgery reduces x by 5% of x (i.e. .05 * x), resulting in the new incidence .95 * x. 
To give a concrete example, if the incidence were 20%, then (under this interpretation) the surgery reduces that incidence to 19%.
I'm guessing this is not what the writer intended to convey. I think the writer intends to convey that x is reduced to (x - 5%). (Concrete example: 20% is reduced to 15%.)
I can imagine that anyone who is already familiar with the subject would tend to automatically put the correct interpretation on the statement, even if it's not what the statement actually says. So please, experts, scrutinize that sentence carefully.
I'm not in medicine and don't know the data, so maybe my original reading of the statement was actually correct. However, if you agree that there's a problem with the language, and you know enough about the data to be sure, please rewrite that part of the article to correct or disambiguate it.

Essentially, Autoregulation has two components: dynamic regulation that occurs over a few seconds and static that copes

Talk:Cultural cognition of risk

message: It is true that this entry focuses on work done primarily by researchers in the United States. However, to my knowledge scholars have not used the methods and constructs associated with the "cultural cognition of risk" (CCR) to study risk perceptions of non-US samples. Commentary from outside the US refers to CCR, but in ways perfectly consistent with the entry. Accordingly, I think is is not correct to state that the entry does  "not represent a worldwide view of the subject."  I think it is correct, however, to call attention to the fact that CCR has not been applied to non-US samples and pose the question of what this implies about the universality of the constructs employed in the theory. This point is in fact explicitly raised, with supporting documentation, in the "criticism" section. If there are additional commentaries that elaborate on this point, it would be very helpful to add them and summarize their content if it seems this would be edifying to readers.
