Grade schemes and grade functions

Grade Schemes and Grade Functions

In recent years, two concepts similar to /?-sequences have appeared, essential sequences and asymptotic sequences. This work explores the general nature of such sequences. Introduction. In the last three years, two concepts similar to that of Ä-sequences have appeared, asymptotic sequences and essential sequences. Motivated by these examples, this paper will study the general nature of such seq...

Molecular profiles of high‐grade and low‐grade pseudomyxoma peritonei

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare disease exhibiting a distinct clinical feature caused by cancerous cells that produce mucinous fluid in the abdominal cavity. PMPs originate most frequently from the appendix and less frequently from the ovary. This disease can range from benign to malignant, and histologically, PMP is classified into two types: disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM...

Peer victimization in fifth grade and health in tenth grade.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Children who experience bullying, a type of peer victimization, show worse mental and physical health cross-sectionally. Few studies have assessed these relationships longitudinally. We examined longitudinal associations of bullying with mental and physical health from elementary to high school, comparing effects of different bullying histories. METHODS We analyzed d...

Reactor-Grade and Weapons-Grade Plutonium in Nuclear Explosives

The most common isotope, plutonium-239, is produced when the most common isotope of uranium, uranium-238, absorbs a neutron and then quickly decays to plutonium. It is this plutonium isotope that is most useful in making nuclear weapons, and it is produced in varying quantities in virtually all operating nuclear reactors. As fuel in a reactor is exposed to longer and longer periods of neutron i...
