Quantitative information used in determnining the sensitivity is derived from constant potential plots of a threeconcentric-sphere mathematical model of the head with current applied through surface leads (the reciprocal problem), and from an electrolytic tank employing a human skull. Advantages of the reciprocal or lead field approach are outlined and the following conclusions are drawn. 1) Leads placed at the end of a diameter through the center of the brain have a range of sensitivity due to source location of only 3 to 1. 2) For the same electrode placement, sensitivity is maximum to sources oriented parallel to the line of the electrodes regardless of source location. 3) Electrodes spaced 5 cm apart are about ten times more sensitive to proximal cortical sources (by virtue of position) than to sources near the center of the brain.

Research paper thumbnail of Market efficiency and cointegration: an application to the sterling and deutschemark exchange markets

Although a vast empirical literature has evolved to test market efficiency, we use recent developments in the theory of cointegration to provide new methods of testing several aspects of foreign exchange market efficiency. WC find evidence inconsistent with market efficiency for both Germany and the United Kingdom.

Research paper thumbnail of Vitamin status and intake as primary determinants of homocysteinemia in an elderly population

Cross-sectional analysis of homocysteine levels and vitamin blood levels and intake in elderly participants in the Framingham Study. Population-based cohort in Framingham, Mass. A total of 1160 adult survivors, aged 67 to 96 years, from the original Framingham Heart Study cohort. Plasma homocysteine concentration correlated with plasma folate, vitamin B12, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), and oral intakes of these vitamins, and the contribution of these vitamins to the prevalence of elevated homocysteine in the population. Homocysteine levels were positively correlated with age after controlling for vitamin concentrations. After controlling for age, sex, and levels of other vitamins, homocysteine exhibited a strong inverse association with plasma folate. When subjects were grouped by deciles of plasma folate, mean homocysteine was significantly higher in the lowest two folate deciles (15.6 and 13.7 mumol/L, respectively) than in the highest decile (11.0 mumol/L). Homocysteine demonstrated weaker, inverse associations with plasma vitamin B12 and PLP. Similar inverse associations were demonstrated between homocysteine and intakes of folate and vitamin B6, but not vitamin B12. Prevalence of high homocysteine (> 14 mumol/L) was 29.3% in this cohort, and was greatest among subjects with low folate status. Inadequate plasma concentrations of one or more B vitamins appear to contribute to 67% of the cases of high homocysteine. These results indicate a strong association between homocysteine concentration and folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 status, as well as age. It is possible that a substantial majority of the cases of high homocysteine in this older population can be attributed to vitamin status.
