BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To the best of our knowledge, the value of the plasma effect site equilibration rate constant (k(e0)) of propofol has not been reported in Chinese patients. The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to examine the characteristics of the time to peak effect (T(PEAK)) of propofol, a pharmacokinetic-independent descriptor of blood-brain equilibration, and k(e0) de...

A consistent result in the evaluation of group-delivered intervention to promote social reciprocity in children with PDDs is that outcome data are inconclusive. Lack of robust evidence of efficacy confounds understanding of these interventions and their value to the field. It is conceivable that the construct of impaired social reciprocity in PDD presents unique circumstances that require speci...

The flavoenzyme D-amino acid oxidase (Eo) is rapidly chlorinated by N-chloro-D-leucine (Rudie, N.G., Porter, D.J.T., and Bright, H.J. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 498-508). We have carried out chymotryptic digestion of E0-36Cl2 and find that all of the radiolabel is located in a heptapeptide having [3.5-36Cl2]chlorotyrosine as the COOH-terminal residue. This heptapeptide, having the sequence -Asp...

Abstract. We consider semi-classical Schrödinger operator P (h) = −h∆ + V (x) in R such that the analytic potential V has a non-degenerate critical point x0 = 0 with critical value E0 and we can define resonances in some fixed neighborhood of E0 when h > 0 is small enough. If the eigenvalues of the Hessian are Z-independent the resonances in h-neighborhood of E0 (δ > 0) can be calculated explic...

We prove here some polynomial approximation theorems, somewhat related to the Szasz-Mfintz theorem, but where the domain of approximation is the integers, by dualizing a gap theorem of C. l ~ Y I for periodic entire functions. In another Paper [7], we shall prove, by similar means, a completeness theorem ibr some special sets of entire functions. I t is well known (see, for example [l]) tha t i...

For an isotropic hyperelastic material, the free energy per unit reference volume, ψ, may be expressed in terms of an isotropic function ψ = ψ̄(E) of the logarithmic elastic strain E = lnV. We have conducted numerical experiments using molecular dynamics simulations of a metallic glass to develop the following simple specialized form of the free energy for circumstances in which one might encoun...

Let f0(z) = z2 + 1/4 and E0 the set of phases σ such that the critical point 0 escapes in one step by the Lavaurs map gσ ; it is a topological strip in the cylinder of phases whose boundary consists of two Jordan curves symmetric wrt R/Z. We prove that if σn ∈ E0 converges to σ ∈ ∂E0 in such a way that gσn (0) converges to gσ(0) along an external ray, then the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia-L...
