The Hilbert functions and the regularity of the graded components of local cohomology of a bigraded algebra are considered. Explicit bounds for these invariants are obtained for bigraded hypersurface rings. Introduction In this paper we study algebraic properties of the graded components of local cohomology of a bigradedK-algebra. Let P0 be a Noetherian ring, P = P0[y1, . . . , yn] be the polyn...

Objectives To assess the kinetics of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in pediatric patients who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to analyze its relationship with morbidity and mortality. Patients and methods Prospective observational study including pediatric patients who required ECMO. Both PCT and CRP were sequentially drawn before ECMO (P0) and until ...

For a normal distribution, the probability density (x) is everywhere positive, so in principle, all real numbers are possible. In reality, the probability that a random variable is far away from the mean is so small that this possibility can be often safely ignored. Usually, a small real number k is picked (e.g., 2 or 3); then, with a probability P0(k) 1 (depending on k), the normally distribut...

where the inertial lab frame moves with velocity v with respect to the (inertial) rest frame of the polarization densities, and γ = 1/ √ 1− v2/c2. Considerations of the fields moving electric dipoles perhaps first arose in the context of Čerenkov radiation when the dipole velocity v exceeds the speed of light c/n in a medium of index of refraction n [3]. Later discussions by Frank of his pionee...

A Kokotsakis mesh is a polyhedral structure consisting of an n-sided central polygon P0 surrounded by a belt of polygons in the following way: Each side ai of P0 is shared by an adjacent polygon Pi, and the relative motion between cyclically consecutive neighbor polygons is a spherical coupler motion. Hence, each vertex of P0 is the meeting point of four faces. In the case n = 3 the mesh is par...

Let L be a linear space of real random variables on the measurable space (Ω,A). Conditions for the existence of a probability P on A such that EP |X| <∞ and EP (X) = 0 for all X ∈ L are provided. Such a P may be finitely additive or σ-additive, depending on the problem at hand, and may also be requested to satisfy P ∼ P0 or P P0 where P0 is a reference measure. As a motivation, we note that a p...

The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane, unique to the nervous system, which functions as an insulator to increase greatly the velocity of axonal impulse conduction. We have used the techniques of differential screening and hybrid selection to identify a cDNA clone encoding the Schwann cell glycoprotein P0, the major structural protein of the peripheral myelin sheath. The sequence of this ...

In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover design, 15 trained males undertook exercise trials during two 4 wk supplementation periods, with either 3 g L-Carnitine L-tartrate (LCLT) or 3 g placebo (P) daily. Total carbohydrate and fat oxidation during 90 min steady state cycling were not different between 0 or 4 wk within LCLT or P trials (mean +/- standard deviation: carbohydra...

Mutations in the gene of the peripheral myelin protein zero (P0) give rise to the peripheral neuropathies Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1B disease (CMT1B), Déjérine-Sottas syndrome, and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy. To investigate the pathomechanisms of a specific point mutation in the P0 gene, we generated two independent transgenic mouse lines expressing the pathogenic CMT1B missense muta...
