Getting lost (GL) is a serious problem for people living with Alzheimer's disease (PwAD), causing psychological distress in both PwAD and caregivers, and increasing the odds of being institutionalized. It is thus important to identify risk factors for the GL events in PwAD. Between April 2009 and March 2012, we invited 185 community-dwelling PwAD and their caregivers to participate in this stud...

We characterize discrete groups Γ ⊂ GL(n,R) which act properly discontinuously on the homogeneous space GL(m,R)\GL(n,R).

We propose algorithms to get representatives and the images of the moment map of conormal bundles of GL(p,C)×GL(q,C)-orbits in the flag variety of GL(p+q,C), and GL(p+q,C)-orbits and Sp(p,C)×Sp(q,C)-orbits in the flag variety of Sp(p+ q,C) and their signed Young diagrams.

the effects of sucrose and some regulators on freezing tolerance in chickpea studied. four weeks in vitro explants were cultured in three different ms media without growth regulators and with normal level of sucrose (30 gl-1) (a), without growth regulators and with reduced sucrose (10 gl-1) (b) and medium supplemented with lmg gl-1 bap and 0.1 mgi1 iba and with 30 gi-1sucrose (c) for two weeks....

Glycolate(GL)-based polyesters were for the first time produced in the recombinant Escherichia coli fatty acid β-oxidation pathway reinforcing mutant LS5218, using extracellularly added GL as a monomer precursor. Cells expressing a Ser325Thr/Gln481Lys mutant of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC1STQK) from Pseudomonas sp. 61-3, propionyl-CoA transferase from Megasphaera elsdenii and enoyl-CoA ...

This work concerns linear multiplicity free actions of the complex groups GC = GL(n,C), GL(n,C) × GL(n,C) and GL(2n,C) on the vector spaces V = Sym(n,C), Mn(C) and Skew(2n,C). We relate the canonical invariants in C[V ⊕ V ∗] to spherical functions for Riemannian symmetric pairs (G,K) where G = GL(n,R), GL(n,C) or GL(n,H) respectively. These in turn can be expressed using three families of class...

This is an essay on potential theory for geometric plurisubharmonic functions. It begins with a given closed subset Gl of the Grassmann bundle G(p, TX) of tangent p-planes to a riemannian manifold X . This determines a nonlinear partial differential equation which is convex but never uniformly elliptic (p < dimX). A surprising number of results in complex analysis carry over to this more genera...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Dietary glycemic index or load is thought to play an important role in glucose metabolism. However, few studies have investigated the relation between glycemic index (GI) or load (GL) and glycemia in Asian populations. In this cross-sectional analysis of a randomized controlled trial, the Saku Control Obesity Program, we examined the relation between the baseline GI or ...
