INTRODUCTION: Recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) is used to treat symptomatic anaemia due to chemotherapy. A new r-HuEPO, Epoetin theta (Eporatio®), was investigated and compared to placebo and Epoetin beta in a randomised, double-blind clinical trial in adult cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy, using a fixed weekly starting dose of 20,000 IU Epoetin theta. The primar...

Abstract We prove that the hydrodynamic pressure p associated to velocity $$u\in C^\theta (\Omega )$$ u ∈ C θ ( Ω ) , $$\theta \in (0,1)$$ 0 <mml...

The weight $\theta$-sheaf $\underline{\mathbb{R}}_{X,\theta}$ helps us to reinterpret Morse-Novikov cohomologies via sheaf theory. We give several theorems of K\"{u}nneth and Leray-Hirsch types. As applications, we prove that the $\theta$-Lefschetz number is independent $\theta$ calculate projective bundles. Based on these results, two blow-up formulae (\emph{not necessarily compact}) complex m...

Order statistics arising from exponentiated gamma (EG) distribution are considered. Closed from expressions for the single and double moments of order statistics are derived. Measures of skewness and kurtosis of the probability density function of the rth order statistic for different choices of r, n&nbsp;and /theta&nbsp;are presented. Recurrence relations between single and double moments of r...

Quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) changes relating to dissociative experiences have only rarely been demonstrated, and dissociative states were not quantified in those studies. The aim of this study was to explore concurrent associations between quantified dissociative states and QEEG spectral parameters, in particular theta activity, in psychiatric patients. Fifty psychiatric patient...

Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$ and $R$ be a commutative $G$-graded ring with nonzero unity $1$. In this article, we introduce the concept of graded $r$-ideals. A proper graded ideal $P$ of a graded ring $R$ is said to be graded $r$-ideal if whenever $a, bin h(R)$ such that $abin P$ and $Ann(a)={0}$, then $bin P$. We study and investigate the behavior of graded $r$-ideals to introduce ...

For $N\geq 3$, by the seminal paper of Brezis and V\'eron (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 75(1):1--6, 1980/81), no positive solutions $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus \{0\}$ exist if $q\geq N/(N-2)$; for $11$ $\theta\in \mathbb R$, we prove that nonlinear ell...

We present measurements of D--> KS0 pi and D--> KL0 pi branching fractions using 281 pb(-1) of psi(3770) data at the CLEO-c experiment. We find that B(D0--> KS0 pi 0) is larger than B(D0--> KL0 pi 0), with an asymmetry of R(D0)=0.108+/-0.025+/-0.024. For B(D+--> KS0 pi+) and B(D+--> KL0 pi+), we observe no measurable difference; the asymmetry is R(D+)=0.022+/-0.016+/-0.018. The D0 asymmetry is ...
