Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the
peripheral blood alterations that occur in workers exposed to asbestos with
and without developed asbestosis. The results of an extensive retrospective
investigation showed an increase in the serum levels of IgM, IgA and IgE
immunoglobulins. The increase detected in serum immunoglobulin levels could
be related to pathological processes in the lung which result in asbestotic
fibrosis. The higher immunoglobulin levels in the peripheral circulation of
asbestosis cases could be a reflection of asbestos-induced processes taking
place in the lungs, locally stimulating humoral immunity. Local stimulation
of the immune system could also be due to the appearance of a new asbestos
exposure evoked antigen. The haemato-immunological findings are useful for
screening selected populations at risk of developing asbestosis.

Summary: Recent results on interval eigenvalue problem are applied
to
twodimensional interval symmetric matrices. This analysis has served as a
basis for the construction of interval Jacobi method. The method does not
converge always, but it always provides intervals containing the
eigenvalues. Interval Jacobi method can be applied to both, interval
symmetric and real symmetric matrices. In the latter case the final
intervals result from the process of accommodating the impacts of rounding
errors. The intervals obtained by numerical tests on real matrices comply
with the theoretical error bounds, and the method never diverged. On
interval matrices the method converges on smaller matrices even if lower
and upper bounds of their elements agree in only 2--3 most significant
digits.
