PURPOSE To evaluate the predictive role of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet count (PLT) in the diagnosis of testicular torsion (TT) and testicular viability following TT. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed two study groups in this retrospective study: 75 patients with a diagnosis of TT (group 1) and 56 age-ma...

Let K be a field of characteristic p > 0. It is proved that the group Autord(D(Ln)) of order preserving automorphisms of the ring D(Ln) of differential operators on a Laurent polynomial algebra Ln := K[x ±1 1 , . . . , x n ] is isomorphic to a skew direct product of groups Z n p⋊AutK(Ln) where Zp is the ring of p-adic integers. Moreover, the group Autord(D(Ln)) is found explicitly. Similarly, A...

The Fibonacci sequence {Fn} is defined by the recurrence relation Fn = Fn−1+ Fn−2, for n ≥ 2 with F0 = 0 and F1 = 1. The Lucas sequence {Ln} , considered as a companion to Fibonacci sequence, is defined recursively by Ln = Ln−1 + Ln−2, for n ≥ 2 with L0 = 2 and L1 = 1. It is well known that F−n = (−1)Fn and L−n = (−1)Ln, for every n ∈ Z. For more detailed information see [9],[10]. This paper pr...

Lymph nodes posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN) are common sites of nodal recurrence after the resection of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, the indication for LN-prRLN dissection remains debatable. We therefore studied the relationships between LN-prRLN metastasis and the clinicopathological characteristics in 306 patients with right or bilateral PTC who unde...

Tank-treading (TT) motion is established in optically trapped, live red blood cells (RBCs) held in shear flow and is systematically investigated under varying shear rates, temperature (affecting membrane viscosity), osmolarity (resulting in changes in RBC shape and cytoplasmic viscosity), and viscosity of the suspending medium. TT frequency is measured as a function of membrane and cytoplasmic ...

We present a framework that resums threshold enhanced large logarithms to all orders in perturbation theory for the production of pair leptons Drell-Yan process and Higgs boson gluon fusion as well bottom quark annihilation. restrict ourselves contributions from diagonal partonic channels. These include distributions $((1\ensuremath{-}z{)}^{\ensuremath{-}1}{\mathrm{ln}}^{i}(1\ensuremath{-}z){)}...

Laser photoionization and ligand photodissociation in Ln(thd)(3) (Ln = Eu, Tb, Gd; thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) are studied in a molecular beam via time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The fragmentation patterns are strongly wavelength dependent. With 355 nm excitation, the mass spectrum is dominated by Ln(2+), Ln(+), and LnO(+) fragments. The bare Ln ions are believed to arise fr...

A non-empty word w is a border of u if |w|<|u| and both prefix suffix u. privileged |u|≤1 or has that appears exactly twice in Peltomäki (2016) presented the following open problem: “Give nontrivial upper bound for B(n)”, where B(n) denotes number words length n. Let ln[0]⁡(n)=n let ln[j]⁡(n)=ln⁡(ln[j−1]⁡(n)), j,n are positive integers. We show q>1 size alphabet j≥3 an integer then there consta...

Lanthanoid metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) can adopt a variety of new structures due to the large coordination numbers of Ln metal ions, and Ln-MOFs are expected to show new luminescence and magnetic properties due to the localized f electrons. In particular, some Ln metal ions, such as Dy(III) and Tb(III) ions, work as isolated quantum magnets when they have magnetic anisotropy. In this wor...
