Mean dimension for AH-algebras with diagonal maps is introduced. It is shown that if a simple unital AH-algebra with diagonal maps has mean dimension zero, then it has strict comparison on positive elements. In particular, the strict order on projections is determined by traces. Moreover, a lower bound of the mean dimension is given in term of Toms’ comparison radius. Using classification resul...

The effect of intravenous and intracameral ouabain on aqueous humor (AH) formation rates was measured in cats. AH formation rate was determined with continuous, posteroanterior chamber perfusion with an AH-like buffer containing trace quantities of inulin-C. After intravenous injection of 67 fig of ouabain per kilogram, there was a 40 per cent reduction in AH formation rate, while 34 fig per ki...

The optimal roughage concentration required in feedlot diets changes continuously for many reasons such as source, availability, price, and interaction with other ingredients in the diet. Wet distillers grains and solubles (WDGS) are common in finishing diets and they contain relatively high amounts of fiber compared with other grains they replace. Therefore, concentration of roughage could be ...

Let AH be the real linear space of all Hermitian elements in A . Now AH = A+−A+; in a natural way AH is an ordered topological vector space with positive cone A+ (see [3], [6], [8]). The cone of all positive linear forms on AH will be denoted by P . Restriction of a positive linear form on A to AH gives an element ∗Work done as a student at the University of Groningen (the Netherlands). Receive...

AIM Adenoidal hypertrophy (AH) in children is associated with obstructive manifestations like mouth breathing, snoring. Unfortunately, little is known regarding sleep architecture of AH in children. The purpose of this study was therefore undertaken to investigate the polysomnographic variables in children with AH. METHOD 47 children with AH and 11 controls underwent nocturnal polysomnography...

OBJECTIVE The recent nonlinear analyses of electroencephalogram (EEG) data have shown that the correlation dimension (D2) reflects the degree of integration of information processing in the brain. There is now considerable evidence that auditory hallucination (AH) reflects dysfunctional gamma and beta frequency oscillations. Gamma oscillations are thought to reflect internally driven representa...

BACKGROUND Little is known about allied health (AH) clinical practice guideline (CPG) activity in South Africa, and particularly in relation to primary health care (PHC). This paper reports on a scoping study undertaken to establish a reference framework, from which a comprehensive maximum variation sample could be selected. This was required to underpin robust sampling for a qualitative study ...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of physical form of starter and alfalfa hay (AH) provision on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites of Holstein dairy calves. Forty-four 3d-old Holstein dairy calves with a mean starting BW of 39.9 ± 1.1 kg were used in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. The factors were dietary forage level (0 or 150 g kg-1</sup...

The kinetics of the reactions of antihemagglutinin (AH) and antineuraminidase (AN) antibodies with homologous influenza virus were examined by use of a photometric hemagglutination inhibition test (antibody concentration unit [ACU] test). The following results were obtained. (i) The isotherms describing the reaction of AN antibodies with homologous virus were found to have much steeper slopes t...

Patients with alien hand (AH) syndrome from medial frontal lesions exhibit involuntary but seemingly purposeful contralesional upper limb movements. Two observations about AH patients have received little, if any, experimental confirmation. The first is that AH is triggered opportunistically by nearby objects. The second is that AH behaviors are increased in conditions of fatigue or anxiety, i....
