Presentation K.A. is a 62-year-old man with a 42year history of “brittle” type 1 diabetes. When first seen at our office, he complained of erratic and unpredictable blood glucose levels despite adhering to a rigid multiple daily insulin injection protocol. He was taking four insulin injections per day (NPH before breakfast and at bedtime and lispro insulin (Humalog) before each meal) and perfor...

Aims – To examine the changes in glycaemic excursions which occur during pregnancy using continuous glucose monitoring and to compare patterns of glycaemia in pregnant women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Research design and methods – Observational data analysis from a prospective randomised study of continuous glucose monitoring in 57 women with pregestational type 1 (n=40) or type 2 diabete...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the dynamics of neural networks in forecasting crop (wheat) yield using remote sensing and other data. We use the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The input to ANFIS are several parameters derived from the crop growth simulation model (CGMS) including soil moisture content, above ground biomass, and storage organs biomass. In addition we use...

We develop a non-perturbative version of the Dobrushin-Koteck y-Shlosman theory of phase separation in the canonical 2D Ising ensemble. The results are valid for all temperatures below critical. 1. Introduction Dobrushin-Koteck y-Shlosman (DKS) Theorem DKS], DS] gives a rigorous probabilistic content to the assertion that pure phases are separated on the macroscopic scale along the boundary of ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of adjunctive treatment with pramlintide, an analog of the beta-cell hormone amylin, on 24-h glucose fluctuations and postprandial glucose, glucagon, and triglyceride excursions in patients with type 1 diabetes intensively treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this study, 18 patients (16 of whom could be ev...
