The paper by Daniel Arens and colleagues, published in this issue of The Veterinary Journal, is one of several that are further characterising the sheep as a model for osteoporosis – a severe debilitating metabolic disease that affects mainly women (Arens et al., 2007). Why do we need an animal model for osteoporosis when there is an abundance of human subjects, especially as baby boomers age? ...

In traditional natural language systems, the channel of communication between the user and the system was a narrow and constraining device. In many areas natural Ian guage-based information access requires the possibility for the user of exploring the domain and a system's comfortable habitability. The present work presents a rationale for building intelligent interfaces that combine natural la...

In this paper by using some conditions, we show that the weak amenability of (2n)-th dual of a Banach algebra A for some $ngeq 1$ implies the weak amenability of A.

high fructose corn syrup (hfcs) is commonly found in soft drinks and juice beverages, as well as in many pre-packaged foods such as breakfast cereals, baked goods and dairy desserts. historically, sucrose (table sugar) was primarily added to processed foods and beverages as the sweetening agent. in recent years, the use of hfcs has significantly increased in popularity due to its sweetness, abi...

Let $$X$$ be a class of extended numerical functions on domain $$D$$ $$d$$ -dimensional Euclidean space $$\mathbb{R}^{d}$$ , $$H\subset X$$ . Given $$u\in and $$M\in we write $$u\prec_{H}M$$ if there is function $$h\in H$$ such that $$u+h\leq M$$ We consider this special preorder $$\prec_{H}$$ for pair subharmonic $$u$$ $$M$$ in cases when $$H$$ the all harmonic or convex cone $$h\not\equiv-\in...

quasinormal subgroups have been studied for nearly 80 years. in finite groups, questions concerning them invariably reduce to p-groups, and here they have the added interest of being invariant under projectivities, unlike normal subgroups. however, it has been shown recently that certain groups, constructed by berger and gross in 1982, of an important universal nature with regard to the existen...

objective epilepsy is one of the most important problems in neurology. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dairy products and seizures of the epileptic children based on their mothers' experience. materials & methods in a descriptive- analytic study, mothers' experience regarding the relationship between dairy products and seizures of their children was evaluated ...
