OBJECTIVE To investigate the accuracy of self-reported weight status over the adult lifespan. DESIGN Estimates of self-report bias were obtained from a linear regression analysis and the magnitude of the discrepancy was studied for demographic groups (based on gender, race and educational attainment), weight status, number of years from the age of the reported weight and current age of the re...

The current study investigates the relationship between HPA-axis functioning and burnout symptoms by employing an electronic symptom diary. This diary method circumvents the retrospection bias induced by symptom questionnaires and allows to study relationships within-in addition to between-subjects. Forty two clinically burned-out participants completed the exhaustion subscale of the Maslach bu...

1. Introduction. A Riemann surface S is called symmetric if there exists an anti-conformal map 0 of S onto itself such that <p2 = identity. We say that 0 is a symmetry on S. The classical "retrospection theorem" asserts the existence of representations of closed Riemann surfaces of genus g by "Schottky groups," groups generated by Möbius transformations Ax,-,Ag such that A; maps the exterior of...

Ageing is a complex process that greatly influenced by environmental and genetic factors. at the cellular molecular level characterized accumulation of post-translationally modified proteins are derogative to cells, termed Degenerative protein modification (DPM). A particular class DPM, occurring under impact urea, brain ureido degenerative post-translational modifications (uDPM) has also been ...
