Let G be a finite group. We denote by Γ(G) the prime graph of G. Let S be a sporadic simple group. M. Hagie in (Hagie, M. (2003), The prime graph of a sporadic simple group, Comm. Algebra, 31: 44054424) determined finite groups G satisfying Γ(G) = Γ(S). In this paper we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(A) where A is an almost sporadic simple group, except Aut(McL) and Aut(J2).

OBJECTIVE Children and youth accumulate their daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in bouts (i.e., ≥ 5 consecutive minutes) and in a sporadic manner (i.e., <5 consecutive minutes). The study objective was to determine, within children and youth, whether MVPA accumulated in bouts is more strongly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors than an equivalent volume of MVPA accumu...

This paper studies alliteration and rhyme in the traditional Kakataibo chants of Emilio Estrella Logía, one most important sabios present era. For rhyme, consonants which are able to be coda position according syllable structure play a central role. Alliteration is sporadic based on repetition fricative passages indeterminate length. It occurs onset freely within line across lines, latter by ad...

Sporadic early onset colorectal carcinoma (EOCRC) which has by definition no identified hereditary predisposition is a growing problem that remains poorly understood. Molecular analysis could improve identification of distinct sub-types of colorectal cancers (CRC) with therapeutic implications and thus can help establish that sporadic EOCRC is a distinct entity. From 954 patients resected for C...

We study monomial flocks of quadratic cones of PG(3, q), with emphasis on the case where the flock is semifield, providing some nonexistence and some uniqueness results. In addition, we give a computer-free proof of the existence of the sporadic semifield flock of the quadratic cone of PG(3, 35) (and hence of the sporadic translation ovoid of Q(4, 35)), and relate that flock to the sporadic sim...

In this paper, we consider the preemptive scheduling of hard-real-time sporadic task systems on one processor. We rst give necessary and su cient conditions for a sporadic task system to be feasible (i.e., schedulable). The conditions cannot, in general, be tested e ciently (unless P =NP). They do, however, lead to a feasibility test that runs in e cient pseudo-polynomial time for a very large ...

Angiomyolipomas are the most common mesenchymal renal neoplasms. Two types have been described: (i) sporadic angiomyolipoma and (ii) angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis. Giant aneurysm formation is usually noted in angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis and is rare in sporadic variety. Tumor diameter and aneurysm diameter have been used as predictors of rupture. We rep...

See Josephs (doi:10.1093/brain/awx367) for a scientific commentary on this article.In many neurodegenerative disorders, familial forms have provided important insights into the pathogenesis of their corresponding sporadic forms. The first mutations associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) were found in the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene on chromosome 17 in famili...

BACKGROUND The distribution of BRCA mutations varies significantly between populations. The spectrum of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in breast cancers in the Romanian population is incompletely known. The aim of the present study is to investigate the presence of nine BRCA mutations in patients with breast cancer identified in a surgical clinic from Bucharest. METHODS Unrelated women diagnosed w...
