We consider solutions uf to the one-dimensional Robin problem with heat source f∈L1[−π,π] and parameter α>0. For given m, M, s, 0≤m<s<M, we identify sources f0, such that uf0 maximizes temperature gap max[−π,π]⁡uf−min[−π,π]⁡uf over all f m≤f≤M ‖f‖L1=2πs. In particular, this answers a question raised by J. Langford P. McDonald in [5]. also sources, which maximize/minimize at point x0∈[−π,π] same...

OBJECTIVE To determine if a relationship exists between participation in a school breakfast program and measures of psychosocial and academic functioning in school-aged children. METHODS Information on participation in a school breakfast program, school record data, and in-depth interviews with parents and children were collected in 1 public school in Philadelphia, Pa, and 2 public schools in...

BACKGROUND Peritoneal infection and poor ultrafiltration continue to be the major causes of treatment failure in CAPD. The combined effects of peritonitis and the continuous exposure to dialysis fluid remain the most likely candidates affecting the peritoneum in the long term. The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of peritonitis and dialysis on longitudinal peritoneal function. ...

Background Hydrolysates are complex media supplements composed of many as well as different types of compounds. Within Frieslandcampina Domo’s Quality by Design project, detailed information of these compounds (annotation and quantification) has been generated. This was achieved for soy protein hydrolysates (Proyield Soy SE50MAF-UF) using metabolomics biochemical profiling. Biochemical profilin...

Background Earlier it was believed that uterine fluid (uf) or secretions are not relevant after the embryo implantation in humans. However, recent reports suggest that uterine secretions continue to play important role till the first trimester of human pregnancy. Evidences also suggest that uf mirrors endometrial functions or dysfunctions. Considering the relevance of uf in endometrial function...

in this research, the effect of nanoclay on physiochemical, thermal and structural properties of urea formaldehyde resin (uf) was investigated. the prepared gluf resin was mixed mechanically with the 0.5, 1 and 1.5% nanoclay for 5 min at room temperature. the physicochemical properties of the prepared resins were measured according to standard methods. also, the thermal and structural changes i...
