The purpose of this work is to analyze preoperative serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and their effect on the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgical operation. These analyses were performed retrospectively in patients with NSCLC followed by surgery; participants were recruited between January 2004 and January 2008. All clinical information and l...

A pseudo-solenoid is a compact connected metrizable space that an inverse limit of circles and has characteristic feature, called hereditary indecomposability. The class pseudo-solenoids topological rigidity in two $X$

Lano, K., The intuitionistic alternative set theory, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 59 (1993) 141-156. The Alternative Set Theory, as defined in Vopenka and Sochor, demonstrates how a set theory which avoids actually infinite sets can serve as a framework for much of classical mathematics. This paper defines a theory which can serve as an intuitionistic analogue of AST, and examines motivatio...

The current work proposed a new measurement of self–complexity based on Carlston’s (1994) Associated Systems Theory (AST). AST is a systematic approach to classifying the cognitive representations of social entities and, as such, it provides a rich and theoretically based framework for examining self–concept representation in ways that existent approaches cannot. In the current study, an AST–ba...
