asthma management is a major concern because some asthmatic patients either do not respond or else hardly respond to treatment. therefore in the present study, an attempt has been made to determine the predictors of treatment response in asthmatic patients. thirty six asthmatic adults including 13 male and 23 female were studied dur¬ing a 3 month treatment period. asthma symptom score (ss) and ...

A quantum measurement is logically reversible if the premeasurement density operator of the measured system can be calculated from the postmeasurement density operator and from the outcome of the measurement. This paper analyzes why many quantum measurements are logically irreversible, shows how to make them logically reversible, and discusses reversing measurement that returns the postmeasurem...

BACKGROUND Guidelines and literature debate the importance of testing for bronchial reversibility and its total significance is unclear. Clinically, patients with greater reversibility have higher fluctuations in respiratory symptoms, and hence may have a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). On the other hand, they may have a better HRQoL as medications may be more effective in this ...

The action of linear media on incident polarized electromagnetic waves can produce two kinds thermodynamic irreversible effects, namely, loss intensity, in general anisotropic, and reduction the degree polarization. Even though both phenomena be described through specific properties, overall reversibility polarimetric interactions characterized by means a single parameter whose minimum maximum ...

In this work we extend results introduced in [15]. Especially, we solve the reversibility problem for DNA codes over the non chain ring Rk,s = F42k [u1, . . . , us]/〈u 2 1 − u1, . . . , u 2 s − us〉. We define an automorphism θ over Rk,s which helps us both finding the idempotent decomposition of Rk,s and solving the reversibility problem via skew cyclic codes. Moreover, we introduce a generaliz...
