An archival prospective design was used to study mediating and moderating variables for the association between parental divorce and increased mortality risk, using a sub-group (n = 1183) of individuals from the US Terman Life Cycle Study covering the period 1921-2000. In childhood, both socioeconomic status (SES) and family psychosocial environment were related to parental divorce but did litt...

Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing dramatically around the world and it reasonable to assume that young people attending school in Brazzaville are not spared. objective this study was determine prevalence, as well factors associated with overweight among students Brazzaville. Methods: This a cross-sectional study, conducted questionnaire survey 2052 pupils (869 boys 1183 girls,...

Filtered external noise has been an important tool in characterizing the spatial-frequency sensitivity of perceptual templates. Typically, low-pass- and/or high-pass-filtered external noise is added to the signal stimulus. Thresholds, the signal energy necessary to maintain given criterion performance levels, are measured as functions of the spatial-frequency passband of the external noise. An ...

We consider a model of distributed iterative algorithms whereby several processors participate in the computation while collecting, possibly stochastic information from the environment or other processors via communication links. Several applications in distributed optimization, parameter estimation, and communication networks are described. Issues of asymptotic convergence and agreement are ex...

Primary melanocytes isolated from non-depigmented skin of two Japanese patients with non-segmental vitiligo were difficult to grow in culture. Adding a ROCK inhibitor the culture medium dramatically increased yield pure melanocytes. RT-qPCR analysis vitiligo-derived primary revealed significantly decreased MITF mRNA levels compared normal In contrast, SCF expression higher co-cultures and kerat...

Francisella tularensis, an aerobic, non-spore-forming, gram-negative coccobacillus, is the causative agent of tularemia. We reported previously that F. tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) elicited strong, dose-dependent NF-kappaB reporter activity in Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-expressing HEK293T cells and proinflammatory gene expression in primary murine macrophages. Herein, we report that F....

An algorithm is given to find a prefix condition code that minimizes the value of the moment generating function of its codeword length distribution for a given positive argument. This algorithm is used in an iterative way to yield a code that maximizes the rate of decay of the probability of buffer overflow as the buffer length increases. * This paper was presented at the 1977 International Sy...
