We prove that every Sobolev function de ned on a metric space coincides with a Holder continuous function outside a set of small Hausdor content or capacity. Moreover, the Holder continuous function can be chosen so that it approximates the given function in the Sobolev norm. This is a generalization of a result of Mal y [Ma1] to the Sobolev spaces on metric spaces [H1].

Life history theories attempt to explain the evolution of organism traits as adaptations to environmental variation. A model involving three primary life history strategies (endpoints on a triangular surface) describes general patterns of variation more comprehensively than schemes that examine single traits or merely contrast fast versus slow life histories. It provides a general means to pred...

O artigo do professor Turato (Rev Saúde Pública 2005;39(3):507-14) é um passo importante na divulgação das pesquisas qualitativas em saúde, muitas vezes mal compreendidas. Ao nosso ver, o objetivo do professor foi tratar de maneira didática e sistematizada os principais referenciais teórico-metodológicos da abordagem qualitativa. O objetivo desta carta é salientar um aspecto, que nos parece imp...
