UNLABELLED To compare the preventive treatment benefits of amitriptyline and aerobic exercise or amitriptyline alone in patients with chronic migraine. METHOD Sixty patients, both genders, aged between 18 and 50 years, with a diagnosis of chronic migraine, were randomized in groups called amitriptyline and aerobic exercise or amitriptyline alone. The following parameters were evaluated: heada...

Euler's identity equates the number of partitions any non-negative integer n into odd parts and distinct parts. Beck conjectured Andrews proved following companion to identity: excess in all over equals with exactly one even part (possibly repeated). Beck's original conjecture was followed by generalizations so-called “Beck-type” companions other identities. In this paper, we establish a collec...

In our article (Weisberg & Gopnik, 2013), we construct a unifying theory of imaginative processes, in which counterfactuals and pretend games share an underlying cognitive capacity. This theory allows us to explain why children pretend, why they create fantastical pretend worlds, and how pretend play and counterfactual reasoning can help children to learn about the causal structure of reality. ...

In 1981 Beck and Fiala proved an upper bound for the discrepancy of a set system of degree d that is independent of the size of the ground set. In the intervening years the bound has been decreased from 2d− 2 to 2d− 4. We improve the bound to 2d− log∗ d. MSC classes: 05D05, 11K38, 05C15

normally retained in the body because of its high renal clearance; the absence of the HGD enzyme leads to abundant urinary excretion of homogentisic acid, which darkens slowly upon oxidation by prolonged exposure to air. The darkening is hastened by the addition of alkali to the urine and is reflected in the original term for homogentisic acid, alkapton, which refers to its avidity for alkali. ...

A Norwegian version of the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) was administered to 304 undergraduate students together with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (MOCI). The PSWQ was also administered to a community sample comprising 879 subjects, together with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck De...
