We address a supersaturation problem in the context of forbidden subposets. A family F of sets is said to contain the poset P if there is an injection i : P → F such that p ≤P q implies i(p) ⊂ i(q). The poset on four elements a, b, c, d with a, b ≤ c, d is called a butterfly. The maximum size of a family F ⊆ 2 that does not contain a butterfly is ( n bn/2c ) + ( n bn/2c+1 ) as proved by De Boni...

Presented the talk. is odd under both of them. This breaking can produce a nonzero value of dn, the electric dipole moment of the neutron [1], dn ≈ 8 · 10 θe · cm. The experimental upper limit is [2] dn|exp < 6 · 10e · cm which implies θ < ∼10. This is a small number and its smallness is not protected by any known symmetry. An alternative possibility for having dn 6= 0 could be a spontaneous br...

  Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of chronic renal disorders and end-stage kidney disease in developed countries. It is the major cause of dialysis and transplantation. Failure in renal function causes wide disorders in the body. Diabetes results in wide range of alterations in the renal tissue. It is believed that early histological changes in diabetic nephropathy are detectabl...

The refined empirical line (REL) approach was used to convert the Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) Advanced Land Imager (ALI) sensor digital number (dn) to surface spectral reflectance ( ). The dn-torelation was derived from a bright target of known reflectance in the image, and the modeled estimates of the image dn at . The mean absolute percent difference ( ) between retrieved from ALI using the REL ...

BACKGROUND Active myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are major pain generators in myofascial pain syndrome. Dry needling (DN) is an effective method for the treatment of MTrPs. OBJECTIVE To assess the immediate neurophysiological and clinical effects of DN in patients with upper trapezius MTrPs. METHODS This was a prospective, clinical trial study of 20 patients with upper trapezius MTrPs an...

Mammalian sterile 20-like kinase-1 (Mst1) plays an important role in mediating cardiac myocyte apoptosis in response to ischemia/reperfusion. Whether or not Mst1 is also involved in the long-term development of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) is unknown. We addressed this issue using transgenic mice with cardiac specific overexpression of dominant negative Mst1 (Tg-DN-Mst1). The ...

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly in Asian populations due to lifestyle changes and increased life expectancy. With the rapidly increasing number of patients with diabetes worldwide, diabetic nephropathy (DN) is becoming one of the most common causes of renal disease. Indeed, approximately 20–40% of diabetic patients develop DN [1]. The diagnosis of DN is based primarily on cl...
