BACKGROUND A growing number of studies have investigated the efficacy of novel, adjunctive pharmacotherapies for treatment of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia with conflicting results. AIMS To investigate the comparative efficacy of these agents on cognition and symptoms in schizophrenia, and to identify promising cognitive domains and candidate medications that can be incorporated in trea...

purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two gingival finishing lines (90° shoulder and deep chamfer) on the marginal fitness of two types of full anatomic all-ceramic crowns; zirconia crowns (zikonzhan) and glass ceramic crowns (ips e-max cad) milled with cad/cam system. materials and methods: two dentoform teeth of left maxillary first molar were prepared with chamfer fini...

Language Development and Intelligence in Preschoolers A.Razavi, Ph.D. S. Haghighat, Ph.D. T. Vaa’ezi Although almost all theoretical perspectives on language development maintain that a relationship of sorts exists between language and general concept of intelligence, the present research looked at this relationship among a random sample of Neyshaaboori preschoolers (4...

In this paper we provide explicit formulas for the number of elements/subgroups/cyclic subgroups of a given order and for the total number of subgroups/cyclic subgroups in a finite Hamiltonian group. The coverings with three proper subgroups and the principal series of such a group are also counted. Finally, we give a complete description of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of a finite H...

Mand functions for two stimuli (A1 and A2) were trained for 3 children with autism and were then incorporated into two related conditional discriminations (A1-B1/A2 -B2 and B1-C1/B2-C2). Tests were conducted to probe for a derived transfer of mand response functions from A1 and A2 to C1 and C2, respectively. When 1 participant failed to demonstrate derived transfer of mand response functions, t...

Aim. To study cognitive function at pre-school age in a cohort of children who were born preterm and required neonatal intensive care or care in neo natology departments in two Gdansk hospitals. Participants and Methods. 99 preterm children, born from 2001 to 2003, and 115 full-term healthy children were enrolled in the study. The mean gestational age in the experimental group was 32 gestationa...

BACKGROUND Identifying neurocognitive subtypes in schizophrenia may help establish neurobiologically meaningful subtypes of the disorder, but is frequently confounded by differences in intellectual function between individuals with schizophrenia and controls. AIMS To examine neuropsychological performance in individuals with epidemiologically based, first-onset schizophrenia and intellectuall...

In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $G = mathbb{Z}_{p^n} + mathbb{Z}_p + mathbb{Z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. We present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...
