Hypertensive patients are said to be resistant to therapy when their pressures exceed goal despite treatment with 3 antihypertensive drugs. The tendency of most clinicians is to treat resistant patients with stronger and stronger agents in higher and higher doses. By contrast, a few reports in the literature suggest surprising usefulness of spironolactone, a relatively weak diuretic, in resista...

Debate has been engaged for more than a century over what implications, if any, a Greek First Class Conditional (FCC) has concerning the proposition in its protasis. Some pedagogical grammars claim that the Greek FCC is well translated with the English causative construction introduced with "since." In this paper a twofold approach is used to show that this claim is in error. First, a methodolo...

in the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. in 2-d analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

This paper contributes to the theory of substructural logics .that are of interest to categorial grammarians. Combining semantic ideas of Hepple [1990] and Mor-rill [1990], proof-theoretic ideas of Venema [1993b; 1993a] and the theory of equational specifications, a class of resource-preserving logics is defined, for which decidability and completeness theorems are established.

The following concepts shall be required in the sequel: Definition 1.1 [5, 27]. A uniform space (X,Φ) is a nonempty set X equipped with a nonempty family Φ of subsets of X ×X satisfying the following properties: (i) if U is in Φ, then U contains the diagonal {(x, x) |x ∈ X}; (ii) if U is in Φ and V is a subset of X ×X which contains U, then V is in Φ; (iii) if U and V are in Φ, then U ∩ V is in...
