This is a very abstract definition, so for the time being the reader may want to focus instead on the notion of open sets within R, which will be developed in the following pages. The family T of open sets in R is the simplest example of topology. Gradually, it will become apparent that this topology is useful for formulating the various notions of limit, and we will see how these limits are us...

BACKGROUND Self-care plays an important role in diabetes management. One of the instruments used to evaluate self-care in patients with diabetes is the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire. A validated instrument in the Malay language is used to assess self-care practice among children and adolescents with diabetes in Malaysia. OBJECTIVE To translate and evaluate the...

Two variants of this model, along with the standard deterministic version, are assess Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort Seas stock bowhead whales. differ respect magnitude complexity variation they intro...

OBJECTIVES The Activity Support Scale (ACTS) was expanded for use with African American families. Its factorial invariance and internal reliability were examined for non-Hispanic white and African American parents. METHODS The ACTS was modified to improve its applicability to African American families based on information from five focus groups with 27 African American parents of elementary s...
