The alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) haplotype Pi*S, when inherited along with the Pi*Z haplotype to form a Pi*SZ genotype, can be associated with pulmonary emphysema in regular smokers, and less frequently with liver disease, panniculitis, and systemic vasculitis in a small percentage of people, but this connection is less well established. Since the detection of cases can allow the application of pr...

Increased proliferative activity of the renal tubular epithelium is thought to be a prerequisite for renal cyst formation by many investigators. However, in humans, the exact in vivo proliferation rate of epithelial cells lining these cysts is not known. In this study, which used immunohistochemical methods with an antibody to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the proliferation index (...

We investigate the behavior of a complete flat metric on surface near puncture. call puncture regular if it has neighborhood which is isometric to that point at infinity cone. prove there are punctures not and only curvature $4\pi$. classify irregular up modification equivalence, where two called modification-equivalent they have neighborhoods. show uncountably many modification-equivalence cla...

Abstract--In this paper, we show how to design three-layer feedforward neural networks with sigma-pi units in the hidden layer in order to perform perfectly on regular training sets. We obtain real-time design schemes based on massively parallel sampling and induced by so-called hyperbolic cardinal translation-type interpolation operators. The real-time nature of our strategy is due to the fact...

In this paper, the stability study of fuzzy control systems is presented. The approach developed is based on the convergence of regular vector norms, where the comparison, the overvaluing principle and the Borne and Gentina criterion are used. The controller is of type PI-fuzzy with different partition of the two fuzzy inputs. The system to be controlled is a nonlinear system and the applicatio...

We extend the linear π-calculus with composite regular types in such a way that data containing linear values can be shared among several processes, if there is no overlapping access to such values. We describe a type reconstruction algorithm for the extended type system and discuss some practical aspects of its implementation.
