Partial remission in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is a period of good glucose control that can last from several weeks to over a year. The clinical significance of the remission period is that patients might be more responsive to immunotherapy if treated within this period. This article provides clinical data that indicates the level of glucose control and insulin-secreting β-c...

Two early and potential rate-limiting steps in the biosynthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids, such as morphine and codeine, in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) involve decarboxylation of L-tyrosine and L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) to yield tyramine and dopamine, respectively. A DNA fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using degenerate primers designed to two highly conser...

For simplicity, we adopt the following rules: x denotes a set, r, s denote real numbers, n denotes a natural number, V denotes a real linear space, v, u, w, p denote vectors of V , A, B denote subsets of V , A1 denotes a finite subset of V , I denotes an affinely-independent subset of V , I1 denotes a finite affinelyindependent subset of V , F denotes a family of subsets of V , and L1, L2 denot...

(1) For all subsets A, B of E2 T such that A meets B holds proj1 ◦A meets proj1◦B. (2) Let A, B be subsets of E2 T and s be a real number. If A misses B and A⊆HorizontalLine(s) and B⊆ HorizontalLine(s), then proj1◦A misses proj1◦B. (3) For every closed subset S of E2 T such that S is Bounded holds proj1 ◦ S is closed. (4) For every compact subset S of E2 T holds proj1 ◦ S is compact. (5) Let p,...

Let L be a recursive algebraic extension of Q. Assume that, given α ∈ L, we can compute the roots in L of its minimal polynomial over Q and we can determine which roots are Aut(L)-conjugate to α. We prove there exists a pair of polynomials that characterizes the Aut(L)-conjugates of α, and that these polynomials can be effectively computed. Assume furthermore that L can be embedded in R, or in ...

BACKGROUND L-selectin mediates leukocyte rolling on endothelium at sites of inflammation, suggesting that L-selectin may be involved in the development of cutaneous lesions of atopic dermatitis (AD). After leukocyte activation, L-selectin is rapidly shed from the cell surface. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess leukocyte L-selectin expression and quantitate levels of serum solu...

A λ − Triple System(v), or a λ–TS(V,B), is a pair (V, B) where V is a set and B is a subset of the 3-subsets of V so that every pair is in exactly λ elements of B. A regular configuration on p points with regularity ρ on l blocks is a pair (P,L) where L is a collection of 3-subsets of a (usually small) set P so that every p in P is in exactly ρ elements of L, and |L| = l. The Pasch configuratio...

The growth function for a class of subsets C of a set X is defined by m’(N) = max {AC(F): F G X, IFI = N} , N = 1,2,. . . , where AC(F) = ({F n C: C E C}l, the number of possible sets obtained by intersecting an element of C with the set F. Sauer (1972) showed that if C forms a Vapnik-Chervonenkis class with dimension V(C), then V(C)-1 mC(N) < c 7 0 for N > V(C) 1. j=o The collection C of Eucli...

In this paper we prove the convergence of a nite volume scheme to the solution of a Stefan problem, namely the nonlinear diiusion equation ut ?'(u) = v, together with a homogeneous Neumann boundary condition and an initial condition. This is done by means of a priori estimates in L 1 and use of Kolmogorov's theorem on relative compactness of subsets of L 2 .
