The inefficiency of current therapies of acne vulgaris, side effects and teratogenicity of topical and oral retinoids resulted in the need to find out new drugs. Adapalene 0.1% gel or solution with retinoid properties is effective in treatment of acne, and improves both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. The anti-inflammatory properties of adapalene and its specific tendency to bi...

Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma is a benign lesion but sometimes has aggressive proliferation composed of multinucleated giant cells in a background of spindle and ovoid mesenchymal cells. Multifocal central giant cell granuloma of jaws is very rare and usually associated with hyperparathyroidism and some syndromes. We described an un-usual case of a 22-year-old man with idi-opathic ...

Characteristic-sorted portfolios are the workhorses of modern empirical finance, deployed widely to evaluate anomalies and construct asset pricing models. We propose a new method for their estimation that is simple compute, makes no ex-ante assumption on nature relationship between characteristic returns, does not require ad hoc selections percentile breakpoints or portfolio weighting schemes. ...

Let P ∈ Q <m...

These notes are not necessarily an accurate representation of what happened in class. The notes written before class say what I think I should say. I sometimes edit the notes after class to make them way what I wish I had said. There may be small mistakes, so I recommend that you check any mathematically precise statement before using it in your own work. These notes were last revised on Decemb...

Let A be a subspace arrangement and let (A; t) be the characteristic polynomial of its intersection lattice L(A). We show that if the subspaces in A are taken from L(Bn), where Bn is the type B Weyl arrangement, then (A; t) counts a certain set of lattice points. This is the only known combinatorial interpretation of this polynomial in the subspace case. One can use this result to study the par...
