Antecedent hypoglycemia leads to impaired counterregulation and hypoglycemic unawareness. To ascertain whether antecedent portal vein hypoglycemia impairs portal vein glucose sensing, thereby inducing counterregulatory failure, we compared the effects of antecedent hypoglycemia, with and without normalization of portal vein glycemia, upon the counterregulatory response to subsequent hypoglycemi...

The effect of thyroid status on arterial baroreflex function and autonomic contributions to resting blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were evaluated in conscious rats. Rats were rendered hyperthyroid (Hyper) or hypothyroid (Hypo) with triiodothyronine and propylthiouracil treatments, respectively. Euthyroid (Eut), Hyper, and Hypo rats were chronically instrumented to measure mean arterial pres...

In previous work we presented argumentation schemes to capture the CATO and value based theory construction approaches to reasoning with legal cases with factors. We formalised the schemes with ASPIC+, a formal representation of instantiated argumentation. In ASPIC+ the premises of a scheme may either be a factor provided in a knowledge base or established using a further argumentation scheme. ...

Abstract. This paper obtains all solvable 3-Lie algebras with the m-dimensional filiform 3-Lie algebra N (m ≥ 5) as a maximal hypo-nilpotent ideal, and proves that the m-dimensional filiform 3-Lie algebra N can’t be as the nilradical of solvable non-nilpotent 3-Lie algebras. By means of one dimensional extension of Lie algebras to the 3-Lie algebras, we get some classes of solvable Lie algebras...

We consider 6-dimensional nearly Kähler manifolds M and prove that any totally geodesic hypersurface N of M is a Sasaki-Einstein manifold, and so it has a hypo structure in the sense of [8]. We show that such a hypo structure defines a nearly Kähler structure on N × R, and a compact nearly Kähler structure with conical singularities on N 5 × S 1 when N is compact. Moreover, an extension of the ...

A bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $${\mathcal {H}}$$ is said to be an EP (hypo-EP) if ranges of and $$A^*$$ are equal (range contained in range ) has closed range. In this paper, we define hypo-EP operators for densely defined spaces extend results from settings (possibly unbounded) settings.

AIMS To compare the clinical efficacy of hypo-osmolar oral rehydration salt (ORS) solution (224 mmol/l) and standard ORS solution (311 mmol/l) in severely malnourished (marasmic) children having less than 60% Harvard standard weight for age with dehydrating acute watery diarrhoea. METHODS In a double blind, randomised, controlled trial, 64 children aged 6-48 months were randomly assigned stan...

Despite extensive investigation, the biological mechanisms causing essential hypertension (EHT) remain unclear. To clarify the means by which hypotensive prostaglandins (Hypo-PGs, mainly PGE1 and PGE2) act in patients with EHT, the interaction between intravenously infused Hypo-PGs and pressor substances such as an adrenergic neurotransmitter, noradrenaline (NA) and angiotensin II (AII) was exa...

In this paper we put forward a way of modelling reasoning with cases as it is described by writers such as Levi. This style of reasoning concentrates on finding and refining particular distinctions amongst cases which bear on the outcome. It thus contrasts with work such as HYPO in which such distinctions are the product of initial analysis of the domain, and so come already fixed. We provide a...

In this paper we describe an approach to the problem of weighting various factors that contribute to an analysis or outcome of a problem situation and discuss issues about weighting as they touch upon our case-based reasoned HY@O. In HYPO, we take the approach of delaying for as long as possible any assignment of weights-and of symbolically comparing the “weights” of competing factors. We call ...
