Let K be an NIP field and let v be a henselian valuation on K. We ask whether (K, v) is NIP as a valued field. By a result of Shelah, we know that if v is externally definable, then (K, v) is NIP. Using the definability of the canonical p-henselian valuation, we show that whenever the residue field of v is not separably closed, then v is externally definable. We also give a weaker statement for...

We give several characterizations of when a complete first-order theory T T is monadically NIP, i.e. expansions by arbitrary unary pred...

The administration of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors can give rise to a potentially life-threatening adverse event, often referred to as 'non-infectious pneumonitis' (NIP), which is characterized by non-infectious, non-malignant, and non-specific inflammatory infiltrates. Patients usually present with cough and/or dyspnoea. We provide a brief description of the mechanism of act...

The room temperature growth and ordering of (porphyrinato)nickel (II) (or nickel (II) porphine, NiP) molecules on a Ag(111) surface have been investigated using scanning tunnelling microscopy and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). At a coverage of one monolayer, NiP molecules form a well-ordered molecular layer, having a hexagonal structure, on the Ag(111) surface. Porphyrin molecules have...

Q: Consider an uncorrelated (white) Gaussian signal s(t). Calculate its 3rd and 4th order moments, m3 = ⟨s(t1)s(t2)s(t3)⟩ and m4 = ⟨s(t1)s(t2)s(t3)s(t4)⟩. Confirm with simulation. The third moment m3 = ⟨s(t1)s(t2)s(t3)⟩ is zero. Namely, if t1 ̸= t2 ̸= t3 then m3 = ⟨s⟩ = 03 = 0. If t1 = t2 = t3, m3 = ⟨ s3 ⟩ = ́ N (0, σ2)x3dx = 0, as this is the integral over an odd function. For t1 = t2 ̸= t3, m3 = ...

We give some sufficient conditions for a predicate P in a complete theory T to be “stably embedded”. Let P be P with its “induced ∅definable structure”. The conditions are that P (or rather its theory) is “rosy”, P has NIP in T and that P is stably 1-embedded in T . This generalizes a recent result of Hasson and Onshuus [6] which deals with the case where P is o-minimal in T . Our proofs make u...

BACKGROUND Knowledge about the determinants of participation and attitude towards the National Immunisation Program (NIP) may be helpful in tailoring information campaigns for this program. Our aim was to determine which factors were associated with nonparticipation in the NIP and which ones were associated with parents' intention to accept remaining vaccinations. Further, we analyzed possible ...
