BACKGROUND Non-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists such as verapamil are equally effective in reducing proteinuria as ACE inhibitors in hypertensive patients with diabetic nephropathy. To date it is unknown whether verapamil elucidates such an antiproteinuric capacity in non-diabetic renal disease. METHODS We performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, random cross-over study which compared...

We investigate the long-run behavior of a stochastic replicator process, which describes game dynamics for a symmetric two-player game under aggregate shocks. We establish an averaging principle that relates time averages of the process and Nash equilibria of a suitably modified game. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for tran-sience is given in terms of mixed equilibria and definiteness of t...

To the Editor: In a recent issue of the JAOA, Peter Tran, DO, and colleagues1 demonstrate significant associations between neuropsychiatric symptoms and degree of medical illness in patients with dementia. We agree with the authors’ conclusion that recognition of comorbid neuropsychiatric and medical problems is necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment. We wish to voice our support for th...

The delay-tolerant networks (DTN) are networks that support communication between nodes when connectivity is intermittent, due to the difficulties encountered in this type of environment, such as node mobility frequently changing network topology, this which does not allow to route messages directly between the source and destination, the routing algorithms must consider mobility to increase th...

The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is an important process which assures inexpensive organization of vast size of raw sequence data set over any traditional sequencing systems or methods. Various aspects of NGS like template preparation, sequencing imaging and genome alignment and assembly outlines the genome sequencing and alignment .Consequently, deBruijn Graph (dBG) is an important mathema...
