To define the parameters of respiratory insufficiency in OSA, 114 consecutive patients (108 men, six women) were prospectively studied. In addition to standard polysomnography, they underwent pulmonary function tests, right heart catheterization, and ventilatory response tests to hypercapnia. Nineteen patients (19 percent) had a resting PAP greater than or equal to 20 mm Hg. Multiple regression...

We present results of our study of tanβ -enhanced loop corrections in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV). We demonstrate that these corrections induce flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) gluino couplings which have a large impact on the Wilson coefficient C8 of the chromomagnetic operator. To illustrate the phenomenological consequences of ...

Binomial random intersection graphs can be used as parsimonious statistical models of large and sparse networks, with one parameter for the average degree and another for transitivity, the tendency of neighbours of a node to be connected. This paper discusses the estimation of these parameters from a single observed instance of the graph, using moment estimators based on observed degrees and fr...

Online cyber-bullying has become a frequent occurrence in organizations. To understand individual dispositions and the organizational factors that effect online cyber-bullying, the present study investigates the relationship among positive affect, the perceived organizational innovation climate, and psychological responses to cyber-bullying. The research samples for this study are staff members...

In this paper the solution of a second order linear differential equations with intuitionistic fuzzy boundary value is described. It is discussed for two different cases: coefficient is positive crisp number and coefficient is negative crisp number. Here fuzzy numbers are taken as generalized trapezoidal intutionistic fuzzy numbers (GTrIFNs). Further a numerical example is illustrated.

Three different samples (total N = 485) participated in the development and refinement of the Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS). A five-factor solution with 40 items describing the most salient dimensions of coaching behavior was selected as the most meaningful. These factors were named Training and Instruction, Democratic Behavior, Autocratic Behavior, Social Support, and Positive Feedback. In...

the current study aims at investigating women’s sense of social security and factors influencing it in mashhad city in 2006. the population of the study includes women above 15 years old from 12 different districts in mashhad. the sample size, based on cluster sampling technique, was 360 persons. sense of security is having mental peace against those dangers and problems which threatens a perso...

We analyse the generalised assignment problem under the assumption that all coefficients are drawn uniformly and independently from [0,1]. We show that such problems can be solved exactly with high probability, in a well-defined sense. The results are closely related to earlier work of Lueker, Goldberg and Marchetti-Spaccamela and ourselves.

An arithmetic or with-carry analog of Blahut’s theorem is presented. This relates the length of the smallest feedback with carry shift register to the number of nonzero classical Fourier coefficients of a periodic binary sequence.
