The description of metabolic patterns during well defined conditions has been, and will be, a very helpful tool in characterizing reactions of cells, tissues and organs to physiological and pathophysiological situations. As a rule, the measurements yield global values. Discrimination between the integrity of different cellular compartments and individual cell functions is difficult and possible...

Coordination of brain activity, in the form of modulation of feedforward activity by stored information and expectations, occurs across domains of perception and cognition. A reliable and compelling example of this is size contrast in vision. This paper builds on a prior study to show that in healthy humans, the spread of activation in striate and extrastriate visual cortex during a context-mod...

OBJECTIVE To design a new index categorizing the functional need for orthognathic treatment. DESIGN Laboratory-based study. SETTING Records were obtained from two UK hospital-based orthodontic departments. PARTICIPANTS A panel of four consultant orthodontists, experienced in providing orthognathic care, devised a new index of Orthognathic Functional Treatment Need (IOFTN) with the aid of ...

Fully nonparametric methods for regression from functional data have poor accuracy from a statistical viewpoint, reflecting the fact that their convergence rates are slower than nonparametric rates for the estimation of high-dimensional functions. This difficulty has led to an emphasis on the so-called functional linear model, which is much more flexible than common linear models in finite dime...

it is well known that a microperiodic function mapping a topological group into reals, which is continuous at some point is constant. we introduce the notion of a microperiodic multifunction, defined on a topological group with values in a metric space, and study regularity conditions implying an analogous result. we deal with vietoris and hausdorff continuity concepts.stability of microperiodi...

BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease tend to have impaired functional status, and this can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. However, no previous studies have rigorously evaluated the relationship between incident acute kidney injury (AKI) and functional status of elderly patients. METHODS Elderly patients (≥ 65 years-old) were prospectively from the general medical war...

won{gil park [won{gil park, j. math. anal. appl., 376 (1) (2011) 193{202] proved the hyers{ulam stability of the cauchy functional equation, the jensen functional equation and the quadraticfunctional equation in 2{banach spaces. one can easily see that all results of this paper are incorrect.hence the control functions in all theorems of this paper are not correct. in this paper, we correctthes...
