OBJECTIVE Impulsivity is generally believed to be more characteristic of individuals with bulimic than with restrictive eating disorders (EDs). However, studies have not exhaustively explored the association between EDs and various component dimensions of the impulsivity construct. METHOD We conducted a multidimensional assessment of impulsivity in 84 women with bulimia nervosa (BN), 37 with ...

In this paper, we analyze the synchronization problem of master-slave probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs). The master Boolean network (BN) is a deterministic BN, while the slave BN is determined by a series of possible logical functions with certain probability at each discrete time point. In this paper, we firstly define the synchronization of master-slave PBNs with probability one, and then...

I present an asymptotic formula for the Takeuchi numbers Tn. In particular, I give compelling numerical evidence and present a heuristic argument showing that Tn ∼ CT Bn exp 1 2 W (n) as n tends to infinity, where Bn are the Bell numbers, W (n) is Lambert’s W function, and CT = 2.239 . . . is a constant. Moreover, I show that the method presented here can be generalized to derive conjectures fo...

Morphea is a localized form of scleroderma characterized by sclerotic plaques limited to the skin. Although its cause is unknown, genetic, infectious and autoimmune mechanisms have been suggessed in the pathogenesis of the morphea. It is more common among childen and young women. Although the prognosis is generally good, it sometimes causes significant morbidity. Morphea has five subtypes as pl...

Let {Bn(x)} denote Bernoulli polynomials. In this paper we generalize Kummer’s congruences by determining Bk(p−1)+b(x)=(k(p − 1) + b) (modp), where p is an odd prime, x is a p-integral rational number and p − 1 b. As applications we obtain explicit formulae for ∑p−1 x=1 (1=x ) (modp ); ∑(p−1)=2 x=1 (1=x ) (modp ); (p − 1)! (modp ) and Ar(m;p) (modp), where k ∈ {1; 2; : : : ; p− 1} and Ar(m;p) i...

Cancer detection in early stage using a powerful and noninvasive tool is of high global interest. In this experiment, a small-molecular-weight glucose based derivative of Gd3+-1-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl) diethylene tri amine penta acetic acid (Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn‐DTPA‐DG) as a novel potential MR imaging contrast agents was synthesized. Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn‐DTPA‐DG was synthesized with reacting of Glucosamine...

We study the H(Bn) Corona problem PN j=1 fjgj = h and show it is always possible to find solutions f that belong to BMOA(Bn) for any n > 1, including infinitely many generators N . This theorem improves upon both a 2000 result of Andersson and Carlsson and the classical 1977 result of Varopoulos. The former result obtains solutions for strictly pseudoconvex domains in the larger space H ·BMOA w...
