Background. Dietary patterns play important role in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. We aimed to investigate the potential relationship between Inflammation Index (DII) and H. infection US adults. Methods. This cross-sectional study was based on National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2000). Individuals aged ≥20 years who provided a 24 hr dietary intake history underwent te...

Abstract The validity of estimation and smoothing parameter selection for the wide class generalized additive models location, scale shape (GAMLSS) relies on correct specification a likelihood function. Deviations from such assumption are known to mislead any likelihood-based inference can hinder penalization schemes meant ensure some degree smoothness nonlinear effects. We propose general appr...

let $g$ be a finite $p$-soluble group‎, ‎and $p$ a sylow $p$-sub-group of $g$‎. ‎it is proved‎ ‎that if all elements of $p$ of order $p$ (or of order ${}leq 4$ for $p=2$) are‎ ‎contained in the $k$-th term of the upper central series of $p$‎, ‎then the $p$-length of‎ ‎$g$ is at most $2m+1$‎, ‎where $m$ is the greatest integer such that‎ $p^m-p^{m-1}leq k$‎, ‎and the exponent of the image of $p$...
