Background Elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) has different characteristics from younger-onset RA (YORA), however, few reports have conducted large-scale and long-term comparisons of treatment disease activity between EORA YORA. Objectives To compare the changes in YORA patients to examine who achieved remission them using data a real-world database Japan. Methods Analysis was performed ...

I report on two papers, hep-ph/9806279 and hep-ph/9807336, where complementary strategies are proposed for the determination of the chargino/neutralino sector parameters, M1,M2, μ and tanβ, from the knowledge of some physical observables. This determination and the occurrence of possible ambiguities are studied as far as possible analytically within the context of the unconstrained MSSM, assumi...

Many investors purchase mutual funds through intermediated channels, paying brokers or financial advisors for fund selection and advice. This article attempts to quantify the benefits that investors enjoy in exchange for the costs of these services. We study broker-sold and direct-sold funds from 1996 to 2004, and fail to find that brokers deliver substantial tangible benefits. Relative to dire...

This prospective, longitudinal investigation examined mechanisms proposed to explain continuities in parenting behavior across 2 generations (G1, G2). Data came from 187 G2 adults, their mothers (G1), and their children (G3). Prospective information regarding G2 was collected both during adolescence and early adulthood. G1 data were collected during G2's adolescence, and G3 data were generated ...

The strong product G1 £G2 of graphs G1 and G2 is the graph with V (G1) × V (G2) as the vertex set, and two distinct vertices (x1, x2) and (y1, y2) are adjacent whenever for each i ∈ {1, 2} either xi = yi or xiyi ∈ E(Gi). In this note we show that for two connected graphs G1 and G2 the edge-connectivity λ(G1£G2) equals min{δ(G1£ G2), λ(G1)(|V (G2)|+2|E(G2)|), λ(G2)(|V (G1)|+2|E(G1)|)}. In additi...

In complex two-plane Grassmannians G2(Cm+2) = SU2+m/S(U2?Um), it is known that a real hypersurface satisfying the condition (L?(k)?R?)Y (L?R?)Y locally congruent to an open part of tube around totally geodesic G2(Cm+1) in G2(Cm+2). this paper, as abient space, we consider hyperbolic Grassmannian SU2,m/S(U2?Um) and give complete classification Hopf hypersurfaces with above condition.

BACKGROUND: To achieve delivery of a drug to tumors, folic acid (FA) was used as a targeting ligand to change nanocarriers. Since the folate receptor has more expression in several tumor types such as breast cancer....
