The Minnesota Multiphasic Persona'ity Inventory was administered at the first and fifth annual examinations of 1990 men studied in a prospective investigation of coronary heart disease. These data were used to investigate the following questions—two potential sources of error in retrospective studies: Do survivors of the illness differ, on the variables being investigated, from persons who die ...

Abstract The Virasoro groups are a family of central extensions $\textrm{Diff}^+(S^1)$, the group orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms $S^1$, by circle $\mathbb T$. We give novel, geometric construction these using “off-diagonal” differential lifts first Pontryagin class, thus affirmatively answering question Freed–Hopkins.

The h-polynomial of the barycentric subdivision any n-dimensional cubical complex with nonnegative h-vector is shown to have only real roots and be interlaced by Eulerian polynomial type Bn. This result applies subdivisions shellable complexes and, in particular, convex polytopes answers affirmatively a question Brenti, Mohammadi Welker.

After the solution of Cousin II problem by K. Oka III in 1939, he thought an extra-zero problem in 1945 (his posthumous paper) asking if it is possible to solve an arbitrarily given Cousin II problem adding some extra-zeros whose support is disjoint from the given one. By the secondly named author, some special case was affirmatively confirmed in dimension two and a counter-example in dimension...

We study the following question in this paper: If p is a prime, m a positive integer, and S = (sm, . . . , s1) an arbitrary sequence consisting of “Y ”or “N”, does there exist a division algebra of exponent p over a valued field (F, v) such that the underlying division algebra of the tensor power D⊗p i has a valuation extending v if and only if sm−i = Y ? We show that if such an algebra exists,...

3. Can the conclusion of Theorem 1 hold for two successive cardinals, say I[ω2] and I[ω3]? I believe that I can answer item 1 affirmatively for λ of the form μ+ where μ<μ = μ and 2μ = μ+. This talk discusses a step towards answering item 3 by showing that the use of models as side conditions can be applied simultaneously at ω2 and ω3. I expect that this will enable a full positive answer to ite...

BACKGROUND As countries develop economically, an "epidemiological transition" occurs whereby a set of chronic diseases increasingly becomes a country's health challenge. Against this background, this paper examines the most common conditions associated with the prevalence of diabetes in Qatar, with a specific focus on the diabetes-obesity-hypertension nexus. METHODS We analyzed data from the ...
