asthma, who attended for the first time to Allergy Department and collected data on clinical history, respiratory function and allergic sensitization. Asthma severity was classified using the GINA guide. We integreted the data into regression models to identify allergen sensitization most strongly associated with asthma severity. Results: We included 260 children with ages ranging from 3 to 18 ...

Two things are striking about this medieval definition. The first is that it is very close to the modern conception of formal consequence one finds in Bolzano and Tarski3. The second is that although Buridan and the other fourteenth-century logicians state these distinctions with a great deal of precision, they say almost nothing about the point of the distinctions. Why are these distinctions d...

Derived varieties were invented by P. Cohn in [4]. Derived varieties of a given type were invented by the authors in [10]. In the paper we deal with the derived variety Vσ of a given variety, by a fixed hypersubstitution σ. We introduce the notion of the dimension of a variety as the cardinality κ of the set of all proper derived varieties of V included in V. We examine dimensions of some varie...

This paper develops a probabilistic reconstruction of the No Miracles Argument (NMA) in the debate between scientific realists and anti-realists. The goal of the paper is to clarify and to sharpen the NMA by means of a probabilistic formalization. In particular, I demonstrate that the persuasive force of the NMA depends on the particular disciplinary context where it is applied, and the stabili...

His bundle recordings obtained in a patient with progressive shortening of the PR interval observed during and after acute diaphragmatic myocardial infarction showed abbreviated AH and HV intervals. Though atrial pacing at rapid rates produced prolongation of the AH interval, this was not as great as is seen in normal subjects and the abbreviated HV interval remained unchanged. The results of H...
