BACKGROUND A cross-sectional validation study was conducted in several urban and rural communities in Beijing, China, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ) as a screening tool to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among Chinese older adults. METHODS The MoCA-BJ and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were administered to 1...

1 The MinRep problem The challenge of making k << |T | is highly non trivial. The difficulty is among other things the need for reduction for subset k-connectivity. The construction is essentially new and has only minor intersection with the one from [KKL]. Generally speaking, we must make the reduction local. For example in the sense that we mainly connect vertices at distance 2. We describe t...

Bothrops jararaca (BJ) and Bothrops erythromelas (BE) are viper snakes found in South-Southeast and Northeast regions of Brazil, respectively. Snake venoms are bioactive neurotoxic substances synthesized and stored by venom glands, with different physiological and pharmacological effects, recently suggesting a possible preference for targets in cancer cells; however, mechanisms of snakes have b...

Background: Beetroot juice (BJ) is rich in inorganic nitrates and has proved effective at increasing blood nitric oxide (NO) levels. When used as a supplement BJ has shown an ergogenic effect on cardiorespiratory resistance exercise modalities, yet few studies have examined its impact on high intensity efforts. Objective: To assess the effects of BJ intake on anaerobic performance in a Wingate ...

Let N denote the set of positive integers. Every sequence B = (b0, b1, . . .) of numbers in N satisfying (1) 1 = b0 < b1 < . . . is a basis for N, as each n in N has a B-representation (2) n = c0b0 + c1b1 + . . .+ ckbk, where bk ≤ n < bk+1 and the coefficients ci are given by the division algorithm: (3) n = ckbk + rk, ck = [n/bk], 0 ≤ rk < bk and (4) ri = ci−1bi−1 + ri−1, ci−1 = [ri/bi−1], 0 ≤ ...

where (ai, bj) ∈ R, ν is the commensurable differentiation order,mB and mA are respectively numerator and denominator degrees, with mA > mB for strictly causal systems. Stability of fractional differentiation systems is addressed in the following theorem. Theorem 1.1. (Stability Matignon (1998)). A commensurable transfer function with a commensurable order ν, as in (4), with T and R two coprime...

stimuli was not significantly different between TRN and SED hearts (P > 0.05 unpaired t-test n = 9-10). We suggest that despite the occurrence of both cardiac hypertrophy and electrical remodelling in response to voluntary exercise, these changes do not pre-dispose the exercise trained heart to arrhythmias. Our findings are consistent with the overall beneficial effect of mild exercise on the h...

Let A = {a1, a2, . . . , as} and {b1, b2, . . . , bt} with s+r = n, the many to many point matching with demands and capacities matches each point ai ∈ A to at least αi and at most α ′ i points in B, and each point bj ∈ B to at least βj and at most β ′j points in A for all 1 ≤ i ≤ s and 1 ≤ j ≤ t. In this paper, we present an O(n) time and O(n) space algorithm for this problem.
