Until recently, most research on cognitive processes and drug abuse has focused on theories and methods of explicit cognition. When explicit cognition is assessed, people are asked directly to introspect about the causes of their behavior, usually through traditional questionnaires. It may be questioned, however, to what extent such methods reflect fundamental aspects of human cognition and mot...

Sums of Betti numbers in arbitrary characteristic Nicholas M. Katz Introduction In [Mil], Milnor gave an explicit upper bound for the sum of the Betti numbers of a complex affine algebraic variety V. If V is defined in ^N, N ≥ 1, by r ≥ 1 equations Fi, i =1 to r, all of degree ≤ d, Milnor showed ‡i h i(V, $) ≤ d(2d-1)2N-1. Oleinik [Ol] and Thom [Th] gave similar results. It is standard (cf. the...

Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common life-shortening, hereditary disease in whites, manifests itself principally in childhood. Patients presenting with CF as adults appear to be different when compared to patients diagnosed with CF during childhood. Often these patients have been previously diagnosed with asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema. We present a case of a woman diagnosed with CF a...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. More than 90% of mortality of  CF patients is due to lung complications.  Healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with CF, We will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. Chronic use of drug...

Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2, and let f(x) be a sextic polynomial irreducible over K with no repeated roots, whose Galois group is A5. If the Jacobian of the hyperelliptic curve y = f(x) admits real multiplication over the ground field from an order of a real quadratic number field, then either its endomorphism algebra is this quadratic field or the Jacobian is supersingu...

This paper discusses an analysis of Bulgarian noun inflection that uses non-monotonic inheritance and abstract morphophonemic representation. The analysis is encoded in the lexical knowledge representation language DATR. In this discussion, we approach Bulgarian noun inflection in terms close to those of Network Morphology (cf. Corbett & Fraser (1993)) and related theories of inflection. Thus, ...

Many people want to change the rules when they look at the right heart. My perception is that the very same rules should be applied perhaps more stringently when considering any method of assessment ofright heart function. The variable shape ofthe human right ventricle makes it more difficult by every method The concept advanced by Albert is a myth about gated blood pool ventriculography which ...
