The strong Lorenz-core of a transferable utility game has a join-lattice structure on every rank-preserving region of the payoff set. The result unveils new properties on the arrangement of strong Lorenz-core allocations. As immediate corollaries we obtain complementary results to some findings of Dutta and Ray, Games Econ. Behav., 3(4) p.403-422 (1991), on constrained egalitarian allocations.

OBJECTIVES To study how reproductive risks and perinatal outcomes are associated with postpartum depression treated in specialised healthcare defined according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes, separately among women with and without a history of depression. DESIGN A retrospective population-based case-control study. SETTING Data gathered from three national he...

Quantitative structure pharmacokinetic relationship (QSPKR) modeling can be used to predict the biliary clearance and percentage of dose eliminated in bile (PDb) in humans before clinical studies. Recently, a QSPKR model based on in-house compounds was derived using simple physicochemical descriptors to predict the PDb in rats (Drug Metab Dispos 38:422–430, 2010). Our objective was to evaluate ...

Bacteriol. 85: 1074-1087. 1963.-Species of Mycobacterium especially M. smegmatis 422, produced the homologous methyl ketones during the oxidation of propane, n-butane, n-pentane, or n-hexane. A carrier-trapping experiment demonstrated the formation of 2-undecanone, as...

BACKGROUND To investigate the necessity of routine lymph node dissection (LND) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients without indications of lymph node metastasis (LNM) preoperatively. METHODS 422 consecutive ICC patients who undergone curative resection from January 2009 to December 2014 were enrolled and categorized as two groups (hepatectomy only or hepatectomy plus LND). Clinic...
