This paper introduces proximal path cycles, which lead to the main results in this paper, namely, extensions of Mitsuishi-Yamaguchi Good Coverning Theorem with different forms Tanaka good cover an Alexandrov space equipped a proximity relation as well extension Jordan curve theorem. In work, cycle is sequence maps h1,...,hi,...,hn-1 mod n hi : [ 0,1 ] → X and hi(1) = hi+1(0) provide structure p...

Despite potential sex differences in base rates, predictors, and maintaining processes for children's externalizing behaviors, little prospective research has examined sex differences in the relations between concurrent, proximal family risk factors and children's externalizing behaviors. The current study examined the relations among maternal depressive symptoms, maternal parenting behaviors (...

Anatomical landmark of A1 pulley is important especially in minimal invasive surgery. The lengths and landmarks of A1 pulleys were evaluated in 510 preserved cadaver digits. The cadavers were 25 females and 26 males aged at the time of death ranged from 48 to 89 years. Measurements of A1 pulley lengths were made and used to predict the landmarks of the proximal pulley margins, which are related...

The applicability to the amphibian limb of the rule of distal transformation, which states that tissue from any level can only become more distal, has been tested during intercalary regeneration following various types of shift-level transplantation. Following the grafting of distal blastemas to proximal levels, such that part of the presumptive pattern is missing, complete limbs nevertheless f...

To investigate whether the uniqueness of proximal and distal limb regenerates could be attributed simply to differing blastemal growth characteristics, their increase in volume, cell number and cell-cycle times were determined. With respect to these parameters proximal and distal blastemas were identical and, furthermore, no evidence could be found for the existance of separate growth zones suc...

BACKGROUND General population surveys have seldom examined violence as a multidimensional concept and in relation to an array of mental disorders. METHODS Data from the South East London Community Health Study was used to examine the prevalence, overlap and distribution of proximal witnessed, victimised and perpetrated violence and their association with current mental disorders. We further i...

It is well known that members of families of polynomials, that are orthogonal with respect to an inner product determined by a nonnegative measure on the real axis, satisfy a three-term recursion relation. Analogous recursion formulas are available for orthogonal Laurent polynomials with a pole at the origin. This paper investigates recursion relations for orthogonal rational functions with arb...

A new nematode species found in the Red River Estuary of Vietnam is described. Lanzavecchia mangrovi sp. n. is morphologically close to L. coomansi Nicholas, Stewart, 1984, but differs in its longer body (L = 2.71-3.76 µm versus L = 2.2-2.9 µm), shorter spicules (63-65 mm versus 72-88), longer prerectum (500-675 mm versus 262-310 µm) and shorter distal portion of tail in relation to the proxima...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) and the relation between PE and the site of DVT by using technetium-99m-macroaggregated human serum albumin ((99m)Tc-MAA) radionuclide venography (RNV). Technetium-99m-MAA RNV was performed simultaneously with lung perfusion scintigraphy in 123 patients with s...

Linear inulin-type fructan (ITF) prebiotics have a putative role in the prevention of colorectal cancer, whereas relatively little is known about branched fructans. This study aims to investigate the fermentation properties and potential prebiotic activity of branched fructans derived from Agave angustifolia Haw, using the Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME) model. The pro...
