Internet gaming disorder (IGD), a major behavior disorder, has gained increasing attention. Recent studies indicate altered resting-state static functional connectivity (FC) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in subjects with IGD. Whereas static FC often provides information on functional changes in subjects with IGD, investigations of temporal changes in FC between the DLPFC and the...

OBJECTIVE To examine food concern (FC) and its associations with obesity and diabetes in a racially diverse, urban population. DESIGN Cross-sectional population-based survey. SETTING Five boroughs of New York City. SUBJECTS Lower-income adults (n 5981) in the 2004 New York City Community Health Survey. RESULTS The overall prevalence of obesity was 24 % and was higher among FC than non-F...

abstract background ulcerative colitis (uc) is characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. calprotectin is a zinc and calcium binding protein derived from neutrophils and monocytes. it is easily detectable in tissue samples, body fluids, and stools, which makes it a potentially valuable marker of inflammation. the aim of the current study is to...

A finite compact (FC) difference scheme requiring only bi-diagonal matrix inversion is proposed by using the known high-resolution flux. Introducing TVD or ENO limiters in the numerical flux, several high-resolution FC-schemes of hyperbolic conservation law are developed, including the FC-TVD, third-order FC-ENO and fifth-order FC-ENO schemes. Boundary conditions formulated need only one unknow...

This paper will use the concept of clearly visible to obtain a Krasnosel'skii-type theorem for the dimension of the kernel of a starshaped set, and the following result will be proved: For each fc and n, 1 < k < n, let f(n,n) = n -\1 and /(n, fc) = 2n if 1 < fc < n — 1. Let S be a nonempty compact set in Rn. Then for a fc with 1 < fc < n, dim ker S > fc if and only if every f(n, fc) points of b...
