We prove that if $R$ is a commutative Noetherian ring, then every countably generated flat $R$-module quite flat, i.e., direct summand of transfinite extension localizations in countable multiplicative subsets. also show the spectrum cardinality less than $\kappa$, where $\kappa$ an uncountable regular cardinal, modules with generators. This provides alternative proof fact over ring spectrum, a...

INTRODUCTION Overt and covert control are novel constructs representing two different parental feeding practices with regard to the child's ability to detect them. Preliminary research indicates that covert control is linked to a healthier diet and lower child weight status. In this study, we report the first psychometric validation of the original measures of overt and covert control outside t...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to develop a mapping algorithm to estimate EQ-5D utility values from Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) data. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) was conducted in the UK. The survey consisted of the CFQ-R, the EQ-5D and a background questionnaire. Eight regression models, exploring item and domain level predictors,...

This paper presents a novel taxonomy that characterizes in a structured and pragmatic manner the interrelationships and tradeoffs of the (rather complex) Linux 2.6 IO stack. The focus is on elaborating on the tools and techniques available in Linux 2.6 to analyze, quantify, and optimize workload-dependent IO performance. The argument made is that only a detailed, layered analysis of the Linux 2...

Perceptual load has been found to be a powerful determinant of distractibility in laboratory tasks. The present study assessed how the effects of perceptual load on distractibility in the laboratory relate to individual differences in the likelihood of distractibility in daily life. Sixty-one subjects performed a response-competition task in which perceptual load was varied. As expected, indivi...

The aim of our study was to discover the health status and healthcare utilisation associated with pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Patients with CF from five UK CF centres attended two visits, 8-12 weeks apart. They were classified at visit 1 as being in one of the three health states: no current pulmonary exacerbation; "mild" (no hos...

OBJECTIVE Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) describes a condition that is primarily characterized by fatigue and flu-like symptoms that are not alleviated by rest. This study investigated the relationship among metacognitions, negative emotions, and symptom severity in CFS. METHODS A total of 96 patients who had received a diagnosis of CFS according to the Oxford Criteria completed a battery of ...

The purpose of this study was to expand our understanding of the range of negative affect associated with reported problems with everyday functions and activities, measured by the cognitive failures questionnaire (CFQ). Evidence from previous research indicates that individuals meeting criteria for mood disorders, such as major depression or seasonal affective disorder, experience cognitive def...

Recent research suggests that not only does the use of recreational drugs impact on working memory functioning, but more ;everyday' aspects of memory (e.g. remembering to do something in the future) are also affected. Forty-three ecstasy-polydrug users and 51 non-ecstasy users were recruited from a university population. Each participant completed the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) and ...

Background: Cognitive symptoms, such as concentration problems, are frequently recorded by sarcoidosis patients. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of perceived everyday cognitive failure in sarcoidosis patients and healthy controls. Furthermore, the effect of treatment on cognitive functioning was examined. Methods: The study included 343 sarcoidosis patients (44.6%...
