• Prop. 8. If g imperfectly dominates f, then hβ(f,g) imperfectly dominates f. ... and yield a hierarchy of manipulability and efficiency. • Prop. 9./10. Given f SP, g manipulable and weakly less varying than f, g imperfectly dominates f, 0≤β<β‘≤1, then 1. hβ‘(f,g) is intensely and strongly more manipulable than hβ(f,g) 2. hβ‘(f,g) imperfectly dominates hβ(f,g). ... which preserve PSP, are comp...

This paper illustrates the role of a class of \prop"-ositional logic programs in the analysis of complex properties of logic programs. Analyses are performed by abstracting Prolog programs to corresponding \prop"-ositional logic programs which approximate the original programs and have nite meanings. We focus on a groundness analysis which is equivalent to that obtained by abstract interpretati...

1-Hy-droxy-4-prop-yloxy-9,10-anthra-quinone, C17H14O4, (I), and its acetyl derivative, 4-acet-yloxy-4-prop-yloxy-9,10-anthra-quinone, C19H16O5, (II), were synthesized from the commercially available dye quinizarin. In both compounds, the anthra-quinone frameworks are close to planarity. There is a large difference in the conformation of the prop-yloxy group; the mol-ecule of (I) adopts a gauche...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to test the hypothesis that electroacupuncture (EA) at acupuncture point LI4 activates specific brain regions by nerve stimulation that is mediatied through a pathway involving the brachial plexus. METHODS Twelve acupuncture naive right-handed volunteers were allocated to receive three sessions of EA at LI4 in a random different order (crossover): (1) EA alone (EA); EA a...

Propranolol extraction in vivo by the left lobe of the fetal sheep liver is greater than that by the right lobe, and this may be due to the fact that oxygenation of the left lobe is greater than that of the right lobe. To explore this hypothesis, we studied the elimination of (R)-(+)-propranolol (PROP) by right and left lobes of the intact isolated perfused fetal sheep liver model, in which the...

The goal of this work is to develop an automatic system for the evaluation of the gustatory sensitivity of patients using an electrophysiological recording of the response of bud cells to taste stimuli. In particular, the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of supervised classifiers in the discrimination between subjects belonging to the three 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) ta...
