background: candidal colonization in complete denture wearers is a commonly encountered condition that worsens in the presence of untreated diabetes mellitus. the aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between oral candidiasis in denture‑bearing mucosa and elevated blood glucose levels in complete denture wearers and to evaluate the effect of oral hypoglycemic drug therapy in control...

On the basis of a high correlation, non-HDL-C (non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and apoB (apolipoprotein B) have been suggested to be of equivalent value for clinical practice; however, the strength of this relationship has not been examined in detail in patients with dyslipidaemia. The present study examines the variance of non-HDL-C compared with apoB in 1771 consecutive patients eva...

MOTIVATION In the event of an outbreak of a disease caused by an initially unknown pathogen, the ability to characterize anonymous sequences prior to isolation and culturing of the pathogen will be helpful. We show that it is possible to classify viral sequences by genome type (dsDNA, ssDNA, ssRNA positive strand, ssRNA negative strand, retroid) using amino acid distribution. RESULTS In this ...

One of the most intriguing features of quantum physics is the nature of correlations present in the composite systems. This correlations can be captured by the amount of entanglement present in the system [1]. It is well known that the quantum mechanical correlations can violate Bell like inequalities, but are not strong enough to violate the causality. If we take the no signaling principle as ...

Assume that d ≡ 1 (mod q − 1). We study the number of solutions to (x + 1)d = xd + 1 in GF(q2). In addition, we give a simple proof of the fact that the cross-correlation function between two m-sequences, which differ by a decimation of this type, is at least four-valued. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is an autosomal-dominant hereditary cancer syndrome caused by missense gain-of-function mutations of the rearranged during transfection proto-oncogene, which encodes the receptor tyrosine kinase, on chromosome 10. It has a strong penetrance of medullary thyroid carcinomas and can be associated with bilateral pheochromocytoma and primary hyperparathyroidism. M...

Correlation inequalities are presented for functionals of a ferromagnetic Potts model with external field, using the random-cluster representation. These results extend earlier inequalities of Ganikhodjaev–Razak and Schonmann, and yield also GKS-type inequalities when the spin-space is taken as the set of qth roots of unity.

Bloch and Okounkov introduced an n-point correlation function on the infinite wedge space and found an elegant closed formula in terms of theta functions. This function has connections to Gromov-Witten theory, Hilbert schemes, symmetric groups, etc, and it can also be interpreted as correlation functions on integrable ĝl ∞ -modules of level one. Such ĝl ∞ -correlation functions at higher levels...

We report generation of pulsed twin beams of light through optical parametric amplification in a fiber Sagnac loop. By pumping the Sagnac loop with picosecond pulses at a wavelength near the zero-dispersion wavelength of the fiber, we achieve phase-matched nondegenerate four-wave mixing with gain. For a gain of 2.2, the intensity noises of the amplified signal and the generated idler (conjugate...
