Abstract: We provide additional methods for the evaluation of the integral �egin{eqnarray} N_{0,4}(a;m) & := & int_{0}^{infty} frac{dx} {left( x^{4} + 2ax^{2} + 1 ight)^{m+1}} end{eqnarray} where $minmathbbN$ and $ain(-1,infty)$ in the form �egin{eqnarray} N_{0,4}(a;m) & = & frac{pi}{2^{m+3/2} (a+1)^{m+1/2} } P_{m}(a) end{eqnarray} where $P_m(a)$ is a polynomial in $a$. The first one is based on a method of Schwinger to evaluate integrals appearing in Feynman diagrams, the second one is a byproduct of an expression for a rational integral in terms of Schur functions. Finally, the third proof, is obtained from an integral representation involving modified Bessel functions.
