The Spanish translation of Form A of the Whitaker Index of Schizophrenic Thinking (WIST) was administered to 50 schizophrenic (25 acute; 25 chronic) and 50 (25 = depressives; 25 = normals) nonschizophrenic residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Results suggest that this translation effectively discriminated between schizophrenics and non-schizophrenics on the WIST total score, time, and ...

This paper deals with the study of global analysis following $(1,2)-$type system non-linear difference equations:\[ u_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha v_{n-1}}{\beta +\gamma v_{n}^{p}v_{n-2}^{q}},\ \ v_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha _{1}u_{n-1}}{\beta _{1}+\gamma _{1}u_{n}^{p}u_{n-2}^{q}},\ n=0,1,... \] where parameters $\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma ,\alpha _{1},\beta _{1},\gamma _{1,}p,q$ and initial conditions $u_{i},v_{i},$...

This study addressed the question of the possible functional relevance of two different oscillatory activities, beta and gamma (15-40 and 60-90 Hz, respectively) for perception and memory processes in olfactory areas of mammals. Local field potentials were recorded near relay olfactory bulb neurons while rats performed an olfactory discrimination task. Signals reflected the mass activity from t...

Climate is critical for plant altitudinal distribution patterns. Non-climatic factors also have important effects on vegetation in mountain regions. The purpose of this study was to explore the current diversity along gradient Taihang Mountain range northern China and estimate climatic non-climatic elevational pattern. Through a field survey, total 480 sampling plots were established central ra...

introduction genetic evaluation and estimation of breeding value are one of the most fundamental elements of breeding programmes for genetic improvement. recently, genomic selection has become an efficient method to approach this aim. the accuracy of estimated genomic breeding value is the most important factor in genomic selection. different studies have been performed addressing the factors a...

i131 is a famous radio-iodine isotope in use for diagnosis and treatment of hyper functioning and cancerous thyroid gland. it is a nuclear reactor product; however nuclear reactor may be unavailable in some areas. replacement by i-124 may be possible, another iodine isotope producible by cyclotron; a system more available than reactor. here absorbed fraction of gamma and beta rays of i-124 thro...
