INTRODUCTION Several neuroimaging studies have suggested that patients with chronic primary insomnia (CPI) exhibit anatomical and functional alterations of the brain, but the temporal regularity in spontaneous neuronal activity remains unknown. Here, brain entropy (BEN), a data-driven method used to measure the signal regularity of a time series, was applied for the first time to investigate ch...

Ž . Balkan endemic nephropathy BEN is a fatal kidney disease that is known to occur only in clusters of villages in alluvial valleys of tributaries of the Danube River in Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and Croatia. The confinement of this disease to a specific geographic area has led to speculation that an environmental factor may be involved in the etiology of BEN. Numerous environment...

Achieving and maintaining price stability is the bedrock principle of a sound monetary policy. Price stability promotes economic growth and welfare by increasing the efficiency of the market mechanism, facilitating long-term planning, and minimizing distortions created by the interaction of inflation and the tax code, accounting rules, financial contracts, and the like. Price stability also inc...

The complexity of machine learning tasks can be measured along two parameters; Information and computation. Information complexity is concerned with the generalization performance of learning algorithms. Namely, How many training examples are needed to achieve certain accuracy of prediction? How fast do empirical estimates converge to the true population parameters? Etc. The computational compl...

β(S) haplotypes were studied in 47 non-related patients with sickle-cell anemia from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Molecular analysis was conducted by PCR/RFLP using restriction endonucleases XmnI, HindIII, HincII and HinfI to analyze six polymorphic sites from the beta cluster. Twenty-seven patients (57.5%) were identified with genotype CAR/CAR, 9 (19.1%) CAR/BEN, 6 (12.8%) CAR/CAM...

Bu çalışmanın amacı Alman İdealist felsefenin önemli temsilcilerinden biri olan Fichte’nin Wissenschaftslehre adlı eserinde temellerini attığı felsefe sistemini ve bu sistemin temel dayanaklarını ortaya koymaktır. felsefesini politik ahlaki kaygılar şekillendirir. nedenle felsefesi daha çok pratik meselelere ilişkindir. sistemi Kant’ın Reinhold’un felsefesinden bağımsız değildir. Fichte, Kant f...
