A polymorphic DNA marker has been found genetically linked, in a set of 39 human families, to an autosomal recessive gene that causes cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease affecting one in 2000 Caucasian children. The DNA marker (called D0CRI-917) is also linked to the PON locus, which by independent evidence is linked to the CF locus. The best estimates of the genetic distances are 5 centimorgans be...

The Padé table of 2F1(a, 1; c; z) is normal for c > a > 0 (cf. [4]). For m ≥ n−1 and c / ∈ Z − , the denominator polynomial Qmn(z) in the [m/n] Padé approximant Pmn(z)/Qmn(z) for 2F1(a, 1; c; z) and the remainder term Qmn(z)2F1(a, 1; c; z)−Pmn(z) were explicitly evaluated by Padé (cf. [2], [6] or [9]). We show that for c > a > 0 and m ≥ n−1, the poles of Pmn(z)/Qmn(z) lie on the cut (1,∞). We d...

In this note we will present an extension of the Krein-Rutman theorem for an abstract non-linear, compact, positively 1-homogeneous operators on a Banach space having the properties of being increasing with respect to a convex cone K and such that there is a non-zero u ∈ K for which M Tu < u for some positive constant M . This will provide a uniform framework for recovering the Krein-Rutman-lik...

This study aims to determine the effect of liquid smoke treatment on tensile strength single fiber and Coconut (CF) Reinforced Composite. The research method is Immersion with heating. First treatment, CF was immersed in for 1, 2, 3 hours, then dried 1 hour at a temperature 40 degrees Celsius. Next, test carried out Universal Impact Test Machine composite impact strength. results showed that TP...

A phospholipid mixture was isolated from bovine vesicle tissue. This phospholipid preparation contained the following prostaglandin precursor fatty acids: 4.7 percent 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid, 9.1 percent 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid and 0.9% 5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid. With this phospholipid preparation as substrate phospholipase activity could be detected in different fractions o...

BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a CF trans-membrane regulator (CFTR) defect. Its prevalence is 1:2500 in Caucasians, 1:15300 among African Americans and is rare in Southeast Asia. The present study aims to review demographic data, clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of Iranian children diagnosed with CF who referred to a Children's Hospita...

OBJECTIVE As newborn screening (NBS) programs expand to include conditions that challenge traditional public health criteria, little is known about what influences physicians' attitudes toward screening. We examined the effect of state policy and perceived state policy on pediatricians' attitudes toward screening. METHODS Six hundred pediatricians from the American Academy of Pediatrics who p...

1.1. Recap. In the previous lecture we have considered the category CF := ⊕ n>0 FSn -mod. We have equipped it with two endofunctors, E = ⊕ n Res n n−1 and F = ⊕ n Ind n n+1 that are biadjoint. We have decomposed E into the direct sum of eigenfunctors, E = ⊕ i∈ZF Ei, for the endomorphism X that is given by XMm = Lnm for M ∈ FSn -mod, where Ln is the Jucys-Murphy element ∑n−1 i=1 (in). We have al...
