This paper continues the examination of the structure of pseudocomplemented distributive lattices. First, the Congruence Extension Property is proved. This is then applied to examine properties of the equational classes ¿Sn, — lá«So), which is a complete list of all the equational classes of pseudocomplemented distributive lattices (see Part I). The standard semigroups (i.e., the semigroup gene...

Some general theorems concerning residual finiteness of algebras are given that are applied to show that every idempotent semigroup satisfying xyzx = xzyx identically is a subcartesian product of certain simple semigroups of order two and three. Introduction. In this paper we present a technique involving a special type of infinitely long sentence which seems of fairly general applicability in ...

Tabako-ohiturak gaixotasun kroniko gehienak pairatzeko arriskua areagotu dezakeen zabaldutako aztura da. Hauen artean, hipertentsioaren eragilea izan daitekeela behatu Honez gain, jarduera fisikoarekiko (JF) tolerantzian eta bihotz-biriketako funtzioan eragin kaltegarria dezake. Izan ere, JF-ak arrisku hauen garapena murriztu ditzake, bihotz-birika gaitasunean (BBG) hobekuntzak eragiten. Hortaz...

Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis are protozoan parasites responsible for cryptosporidiosis, an acute gastrointestinal illness that can be life-threatening for immunocompromised persons. Sources and genotypes of Cryptosporidium oocysts were investigated in two agricultural areas within the Wachusett Reservoir watershed, a drinking water source for Boston, Massachusetts. Two brooks (denoted ...

We prove that any gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has at most Euclidean volume growth. This improves a recent result of H.-D. Cao and D. Zhou by removing a condition on the growth of scalar curvature. A complete Riemannian manifold M of dimension n is called gradient shrinking Ricci soliton if there exists f ∈ C (M) and a constant ρ > 0 such that Rij +∇i∇jf = ρgij , where Rij denotes the Ricci...

BACKGROUND McKeown-type esophagectomy combined with retrosternal reconstruction is a common surgical treatment for esophageal cancer. Various enteral feeding options are available post-esophagectomy, but no definitive preference exists. METHOD "Retrosternal Route Gastrostomy Feeding (RGF)" was developed as an alternative enteral feeding approach that requires few additional surgical intervent...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The cisternal segments of the lower cranial nerves (CNs) adjacent to the jugular foramen (JF) are difficult to identify reliably by routine MR imaging. We performed a 3D balanced fast-field echo imaging technique (3D-bFFE) to obtain detailed anatomy of the cisternal segments of CNs IX, X, and XI. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D-bFFE was used to image the cisternal segments of ...
