Background and objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM) and depression has been suggested to share a common underlying etiology. Few studies have investigated the role of emotional regulation processes in FM compared to depressive disorders. The purpose of the current study was to explore the use of defense mechanisms in FM patients with and without comorbid lifetime depressive disorder (LDD), and to comp...

Frequency-modulated (FM) stimuli have been used to explore the behaviour of neurons in the auditory cortex of several animal models; however, the properties of FM-sensitive auditory cortical neurons in the chinchilla are still unknown. Single-unit responses to FM stimulation were obtained from the auditory cortex of anesthetized adult chinchillas (Chinchilla laniger). Upward and downward linear...

OBJECTIVES We compared the magnitude and direction of associations between forgiveness and pain, mental and physical health, quality of life, and anger in a sample of fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) participants and healthy controls. In addition, we compared FM and controls on mean levels of these variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 173 individuals with FM and 81 controls completed this st...

BACKGROUND Since chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) often co-exist, some believe they reflect the same process, somatization. Against that hypothesis are data suggesting FM but not CFS was common in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The presence of discrete case definitions for CFS and FM allowed us to explore rates of CFS alone, CFS with FM, and FM alone in SDB ...

Analog frequency modulated (FM) systems offer advantages of reliable speech quality and simplicity, whereas code division multiple access (CDMA) systems promise high capacity, resistance to multipath fading, and simplified frequency planning. In this thesis, we investigate the performance of a wireless local loop (WLL) system that uses the frequency modulation with the CDMA technique. The perfo...

Let M be an m-dimensional complex manifold. We recall the definition of the Kobayashi-Royden pseudo-metric on M : FM (ξ) = inf{t > 0| ∃f ∈ O(∆,M) such that tf∗(d/dζ|ζ=0) = ξ}, (1.1) where ξ ∈ T pM is a holomorphic tangent vector, ∆ = {ζ ∈ C| |ζ| < 1}, and O(∆,M) = {f : ∆ → M | f is a holomorphic mapping}. Then, FM has the following properties: (i) FM (ξ) ≥ 0 for any ξ ∈ T pM ; (ii) FM (λξ) = |λ...

 This study was carried out to investigate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) value of protein, amino acid and energy and body amino acid composition of rainbow trout fed solvent extracted soybean meal (SBM) and full-fat soybean meal (FFS) partly replacing fish meal (FM) in diets. Five iso nitrogenous (average 50.36% crude protein) and energetic (4294 kcal/kg total energy) ...
