In this short paper we introduce some novel arguments based on legal cases represented as sets of dimensions. Although there has been much work on arguments based on factors, there has been relatively little recent work which has exploited dimensional representations. The arguments that we consider have a flavour quite distinct from those generated from cases represented as factors, which lack ...

SUMMARY Posterior consistency and the parallel behaviour of consistency of maximum likelihood estimators is analyzed in nonparametric statistical problems. The framework is the hypo-Strong Law of Large Numbers, a form of " one-sided " Uniform Law of Large Numbers.

he coexistence of thyroid and parathyroid diseases is not rare. In the review of the recent literature, 25% of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) had significant associated thyroid diseases including carcinoma in an Australian series.1 Regal et al,2 reported a high prevalence of unsuspected varieties of thyroid disease occurring mainly in postmenopausal women in patients with ...

BACKGROUND Oxygen supply as a lifesaving intervention is frequently used to treat preterm infants suffering additionally from possible prenatal or perinatal pathogen features. The impact of oxygen and/or physical lung injury may influence the morphological lung development, leading to a chronic postnatal lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). At present different experimental BPD...

Backgrounds: We studied the changes in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and brain trace elements concentration in acute hypo-osmolality and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures model in rats. Furthermore, the effect of acute hypo-osmolality on seizure activity (patterns) in the PTZ model, the correlation between seizure severity score (SS score) and changes of both of BBB permeability...

The concept of hypo-Euclidean norm for an n−tuple of vectors in inner product spaces is introduced. Its fundamental properties are established. Upper bounds via the BoasBellman [1]-[3] and Bombieri [2] type inequalities are provided. Applications for n−tuples of bounded linear operators defined on Hilbert spaces are also given.

Adaptation is an important property of living organisms enabling them to cope with environmental stress and maintaining homeostasis. Adaptation is mediated by signaling pathways responding to different stimuli. Those signaling pathways might communicate in order to orchestrate the cellular response to multiple simultaneous stimuli, a phenomenon called crosstalk. Here, we investigate possible me...

OBJECTIVE One third of patients with a major depressive episode also experience manic symptoms or, even, a (hypo)manic episode. Retrospective studies on the temporal sequencing of symptomatology suggest that the majority of these patients report depressive symptoms before the onset of manic symptoms. However, prospective studies are scarce and this study will, therefore, prospectively examine t...

PURPOSE This study investigated the efficacy of an intermittent critical power (CP) model, termed the "work-balance" (W'BAL) model, during high-intensity exercise in hypoxia (HYPO). METHODS Eleven trained male cyclists (mean ± SD age, 27 ± 6.6 yr; V˙O2peak, 4.79 ± 0.56 L·min(-1)) completed a maximal ramp test and a 3-min "all-out" test to determine CP and work performed above CP (W'). On anot...

The term "immune privilege" was coined to describe weak immunogenicity (hypo-immunity) that manifests in some transplant settings. We extended this concept to encompass hypo-immunity that manifests at local sites of inflammation relevant to clinical diseases. Here, we focus on emerging evidence that enhanced tryptophan catabolism is a key metabolic process that promotes and sustains induced imm...
