Abstract Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic osteoarthropathy. Its distribution region covers a long and narrow belt on the Pacific side belongs to continental climate with short summer, frost period, large temperature differences between day night.

Franklin's identity generalizes Euler's and states that the number of partitions n with j different parts divisible by r equals repeated at least times. In this article, we give a refinement when j=1. We prove j=1, r=2 for fixed perimeter, i.e., largest hook. also derive Beck-type perimeter: excess in all into odd perimeter M over distinct whose set even is singleton. provide analytic combinato...

To perform a systematic review of the utility of the Beck Depression Inventory for detecting depression in medical settings, this article focuses on the revised version of the scale (Beck Depression Inventory-II), which was reformulated according to the DSM-IV criteria for major depression. We examined relevant investigations with the Beck Depression Inventory-II for measuring depression in med...

In the late sixties F. W. LAWVERE showed that the logical connectives and quantifiers were examples of the categorical notion of adjointness. In [9] and [lo] he amplified this notion by a more thorough discussion of the structure of a hyperdoctrine, which had much of the flavour of intuitionistic logic with equality. In this eontext it was natural to “stratify” formulae and proofs according to ...
