OBJECTIVE To evaluate the metabolic control of a cohort of adult type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients assisted in a public Diabetes Center (DC) that follows the rules of a national diabetes society. METHODS We compared for one year the metabolic control and the characteristics of 175 T1DM patients attended by a multidisciplinary team in a DC (test group) with 30 patients assisted only by ...

Abstract Let G be a Lie group, let $\Gamma \subset G$ discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma $ and f an affine map from X to itself. We give conditions on submanifold Z of that guarantee the set points $x\in X$ with -trajectories avoiding is hyperplane absolute winning (a property which implies full Hausdorff dimension stable under countable intersections). A similar result proved for one-parameter act...

We prove a max-min theorem for weak containment in the context of algebraic actions. Namely, we show that given an action $G$ on $X,$ there is maximal, closed $G$-invariant subgroup $Y$ $X$ so weakly contained Bernoulli shift. This also minimal any shift $G\curvearrowright X/Y$-ergodic presence X$. give several applications, including major simplification proof measure entropy equals topologica...

Let G be a finite group acting on vector spaces V and W and consider a smooth G-equivariant mapping f : V → W. This paper addresses the question of the zero set near a zero x of f with isotropy subgroup G. It is known from results of Bierstone and Field on G-transversality theory that the zero set in a neighborhood of x is a stratified set. The purpose of this paper is to partially determine th...

Background: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from the Bromoviridae family, is one of the most widespread plant viruses in the world. Objectives: In the present study tomato fields in Guilan, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces were surveyed to determine the presence of CMV subgroups during 2011-2012. Materials and Methods: Out of 305 symptomatic leaf samples ...

Subgroup E avian type C viruses produced by bromodeoxyuridine-treated 100 X 7, line 7, or line C chicken cells were restricted in their intracellular growth on K28 chicken cells but not on line 15 chicken cells. Cells from embryos of line 15 chickens bred with K28 chickens did not restrict the growth of the subgroup E induced leukosis viruses (ILVs). This result indicates that the phenotype for...

The group of automorphisms of a symbolic dynamical system is countable, but often very large. For example, for a mixing subshift of finite type, the automorphism group contains isomorphic copies of the free group on two generators and the direct sum of countably many copies of Z. In contrast, the group of automorphisms of a symbolic system of zero entropy seems to be highly constrained. Our mai...

For a subgroup of PGL(2,q) we show how some irreducible polynomials over Fq arise from the field invariant rational functions. The proofs rely on combining two actions PGL(2,F), one projective line F and other function F(x). functions in F(x) are used to that regular patterns exist factorization certain into polynomials. We use results about group orbit polynomial, whose included.

We study K-orbits in G/P where G is a complex connected reductive group, P ⊆ G is a parabolic subgroup, and K ⊆ G is the fixed point subgroup of an involutive automorphism θ. Generalizing work of Springer, we parametrize the (finite) orbit set K\G/P and we determine the isotropy groups. As a consequence, we describe the closed (resp. affine) orbits in terms of θ-stable (resp. θ-split) parabolic...

BACKGROUND Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been identified as a predictor for the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the cut-off of NLR is inconsistent in various studies. Thus, we detected the prognostic value of preoperative NLR in the single-nodule small HCC (SHCC) patients using X-tile for cutpoint. METHODS Between January 2007 and December 2010, a tot...
