in this paper, rstly, it is proved that, for a fuzzy vector space, the set of its fuzzy bases de ned by shi and huang, is equivalent to the family of its bases de ned by p. lubczonok. secondly, for two fuzzy vector spaces, it is proved that they are isomorphic if and only if they have the same fuzzy dimension, and if their fuzzy dimensions are equal, then their dimensions are the same, however,...

Thailand has now reached a new demographic turning point with the advent of an ageing society [10]. The older population or population aged 60 and above increased from 1.5 million in 1960 to approximately 7.4 million in 2008, and it is expected to be 17.7 million in 2030 [14]. Since the number of elderly people is growing, the number of chronically-ill patients, including those with diabetes, h...

BACKGROUND Transcriptional feedback loops are central to circadian clock function. However, the role of neural activity and membrane events in molecular rhythms in the fruit fly Drosophila is unclear. To address this question, we expressed a temperature-sensitive, dominant negative allele of the fly homolog of dynamin called shibire(ts1) (shi(ts1)), an active component in membrane vesicle sciss...

In adults, calculation of left ventricular mass (LVM) has been shown to give higher values when based on M-mode measurements obtained by the second-harmonic imaging (SHI) technique than with the older fundamental imaging (FI) technique. No information is available in paediatric subjects. This study, therefore, compares LVM calculated from measurements obtained with SHI and FI in 14 children, ag...

Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant with narrow therapeutic window, has been used widely in transplant patients. Grapefruit juice and pomelo have been reported to increase the blood levels of tacrolimus. Zhi Ke and Zhi Shi, the ripe peels and unripe fruits of Citrus aurantium which is chemotaxonomically related to grapefruit and pomelo, are in wide use in clinical Chinese medicine. To investigate ...

SASANG CONSTITUTIONAL MEDICINE (SCM) SHARES ITS PHILOSOPHY WITH THAT OF PERSONALIZED MEDICINE: it provides constitution-specific treatment and healthcare individualized for each patient. In this work, we propose the concept of the Sasang Health Index (SHI) as an attempt to assess the individualized health status in the framework of SCM. From the target population of females in their fifties and...
