Background: Lichen planus (LP) is an idiopathic papulosquamous disorder, which can show cutaneous or mucosal signs. It is caused by a cell mediated immune response to an antigen. A wide range of clinical manifestations has been reported. Objective: To determine the sex and age frequency and clinical presentations of this disease in patients referred to Razi hospital in Tehran. Patients and Meth...

Steepest edge criteria have often been shown to work well in Simplex or Active Set methods for Linear Programming (LP). It is therefore important that any technique for resolving degeneracy in LP should conveniently be able to use steepest edge criteria in the selection of the search direction. A recursive technique for resolving degeneracy 5] is of some interest in that it provides a guarantee...

We characterize the asymptotic behaviour of the compression associated to a uniform embedding into some Lp-space for a large class of groups including connected Lie groups with exponential growth and wordhyperbolic finitely generated groups. This also provides new and optimal estimates for the compression of a uniform embedding of the infinite 3regular tree into some Lp-space. The main part of ...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic leak and lymphocele are well-known complications after kidney transplantation. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of lymphatic complications in recipients of living donor kidneys. METHODS Among 642 kidney transplants performed between 1999 and 2007, the incidence of lymphatic complications was retrospectively analyzed in recipients of living donor kidneys procured by ...

From a well represented sample of world languages Steele (1978) shows that about 70% of languages exhibit significant word order variation. Only recently has this wlde-spread phenomenon been drawing appropriate attention. Perhaps ID/LP (Immediate Dominance and Linear Precedence) framework is the most debated theories in this area. We point out some difficulties in processing standard ID/LP gram...

We study combinatorial modulus on self-similar metric spaces. We give new examples of hyperbolic groups whose boundaries satisfy a combinatorial version of the Loewner property, and prove Cannon’s conjecture for Coxeter groups. We also establish some connections with lp-cohomology.

It is shown that there is no Hausdorff vector topology p on the space Lp (where 0 < p < 1) such that the unit ball of Lp is relatively compact for the topology p. It is well known that the space L1 (0, 1) is not a dual Banach space; this follows from the Krein-Milman theorem. It is not even isomorphic to a dual space, by a result due to Gelfand [2] (see Bessaga and Pelczyn'ski [1] and Namioka [...

Fixed point theorems for generalized Lipschitzian semigroups are proved in puniformly convex Banach spaces and in uniformly convex Banach spaces. As applications, its corollaries are given in a Hilbert space, in Lp spaces, in Hardy space Hp , and in Sobolev spaces Hk,p , for 1<p <∞ and k≥ 0.

The main aim of this paper is to prove that when 0 < p < 1/2 the maximal operator ∼ σ ∗ p f := sup n∈N |σn f | (n+1)1/p−2 is bounded from the martingale Hardy space Hp to the space Lp, where σn is n -th Fejér mean with respect to bounded Vilenkin system.
