Dyslipidaemia plays a key role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, identification and treatment dyslipidaemia is important for both primary secondary CVD prevention, forms basis this article.

This study investigates the properties of a durative modifier that exclusively targets result states in Turkish. We call this RSM, standing for Result State Modifier. What is peculiar about RSM it can express actual duration state, as well non-actual an state. Our goal to describe conditions under which these two interpretations are licensed and provide compositional analysis how derived. argue...

A filtered Poisson process is proposed as a model for river flows. With the help of real-life data, parameters are estimated. Mathematical formulae derived in order to estimate various return periods river. An application two rivers shows that point estimates very close corresponding values computed by hydrologists, based on historical data. Moreover, modifying model, we can see potential effec...

In this paper, we propose a modiied BFGS method and study the global and superlinear convergence properties of this method. We show that under certain circumstances this modiied BFGS method corrects the eigenvalues better than the BFGS does. Our numerical results support this claim and also indicate that the modiied BFGS method may be competitive with the BFGS method in general. This modiied me...

We present here a new model of computation: the Self-Modifying Finite Automaton (SMFA). This is similar to a standard nite automaton, but changes to the machine are allowed during a computation. It is shown here that a weak form of this model has the power to recognize an important class of context-free languages, the metalinear languages, as well as some signi cant non-context-free languages. ...

The therapeutic success of immunotherapy requires specific alterations of the tumor microenvironment and/or the inhibition of tumor-elicited immunosuppression. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a major component of the tumor microenvironment. We have recently shown that modulating TAMs dramatically augments the efficacy of immunotherapy. TAM-activating agents should hence be considered as...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests a role for oestrogen in depression but the involvement of oestrogen receptor polymorphisms remains unknown. AIMS To determine the association between oestrogen receptor polymorphisms and late-life depression and the modifying effect of hormone treatment. METHOD Depression was assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, according to DSM-IV c...
