The assessment of childhood depression is a function of the definition of depression, namely, a single-symptom, symptom cluster, or categorical approach. Furthermore, the assumptions associated with these approaches underpin the development and selection of assessment devices which fall into three main categories: self-report measures, parent, teacher and peer reports, and diagnostic clinical interviews. In describing, exemplifying, and evaluating these measurement techniques, their relationship with the definitional assumptions will be demonstrated through a critical review of the literature. The related and crucial issues of comorbidity and informant variability will also be examined.

The vague graph has found its importance as a closer approximation to real life situations. A review of the literature in this area reveals that the edge coloring problem for vague graphs has not been studied until now. Therefore, in this paper, we analyse the concept of vertex and edge coloring on simple vague graphs. Specifically, two new definitions for vague graphs related to the concept of the λ-strong-adjacent and ζ-strong-incident of vague graphs are introduced. We consider the color classes to analyze the coloring on the vertices in vague graphs. The proposed method illustrates the concept of coloring on vague graphs, using the definition of color class, which depends only on the truth membership function. Applications of the proposal in solving practical problems related to traffic flow management and the selection of advertisement spots are mainly discussed.

ABSTRACT Shoreline treatment or shoreline cleanup endpoints are specific criteria assigned to a segment or unit of oiled shoreline or river bank that are used to define when sufficient treatment effort has been completed for that segment or unit. In effect, the endpoints are the practical definition of ‘clean for that particular segment of shoreline in that particular spill. The selection of appropriate and practical end points is part of the net environmental benefit evaluation in the decision process that is conducted during the development of the shoreline treatment plan. Endpoints affect the selection of response strategies and tactics, provide a target for the operations team, and are a standard against which the achievement of treatment can be compared so that closure can be achieved. This paper addresses endpoints in the context of the oiled-shoreline treatment decision process. The concepts and principles involved in the selection of endpoint criteria and measurement techniques are described. Explanations and examples are provided that can be used as a framework to guide and structure this vital element of the decision-making process. Three fundamentally different approaches to define and measure endpoints are identified; these being based on (a) analytical measurements, (b) judgements of impact assessment or (c) visual field measurements of the quantity and nature of oil. A step-wise guide is presented that can be used as a tool to assist in the selection of descriptors and phasing for endpoints based on qualitative/quantitative field observations using SCAT (Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Team) terminology.

The importance of examining stained 1 to 2μ plastic sections by light microscopy has long been recognized, both for increased definition of many histologic features and for selection of specimen samples to be used in ultrastructural studies. Selection of specimens with specific orien ation relative to anatomical structures becomes of critical importance in ultrastructural investigations of organs such as the lung. The uantity of blocks necessary to locate special areas of interest by random sampling is large, however, and the method is lacking in precision. Several methods have been described for selection of specific areas for electron microscopy using light microscopic evaluation of paraffin, epoxy-infiltrated, or epoxy-embedded large blocks from which thick sections were cut. Selected areas from these thick sections were subsequently removed and re-embedded or attached to blank precasted blocks and resectioned for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
